Answer:

The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object to Image distance d = 140 cm

Image distance v= 35 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

$u = d-v$

$u = 140-35=105\ cm$

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-105}+\dfrac{1}{35}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{2}{105}$

$f=52.5\ cm$

Hence, The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

The _____ deflects these winds to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the Southern Hemisphere

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Coriolis Effect

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect is responsible for the deflection of winds to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the right in the Southern hemisphere. It is an effect that occurs because of the rotation of the earth around its axis.

The implication of this is that in areas of low pressure in the Northern hemisphere, winds tend to blow in anticlockwise direction, and in areas of high pressure, it blows in a clockwise direction. The opposite of this happens in the Southern hemisphere.

A projectile is launched diagonally into the air and has a hang time of 24.5 seconds. Approximately how much time is required fo

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$t=12.25\ seconds$

Explanation:

<u>Diagonal Launch </u>

It's referred to as a situation where an object is thrown in free air forming an angle with the horizontal. The object then describes a known path called a parabola, where there are x and y components of the speed, displacement, and acceleration.

The object will eventually reach its maximum height (apex) and then it will return to the height from which it was launched. The equation for the height at any time t is

$x=v_ocos\theta t$

$\displaystyle y=y_o+v_osin\theta \ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where vo is the magnitude of the initial velocity, $\theta$ is the angle, t is the time and g is the acceleration of gravity

The maximum height the object can reach can be computed as

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_osin\theta}{g}$

There are two times where the value of y is $y_o$ when t=0 (at launching time) and when it goes back to the same level. We need to find that time t by making $y=y_o$
