The correct answer to the question is A). 8 mm.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the object distance u = 8 mm.

The image distance v = 16 mm.

The height of the object h_{0}=\ 4\ mm.

As per the rule of sign convention, the distance measured along the direction of light is taken as positive and opposite to the direction of light is taken as negative.

All the transverse measurements above the principal axis are taken as positive, and the transverse measurements below the principal axis are negative.

Hence, the object distance  u = -8 mm

          The image distance v = -16 mm.

          The object height h_{o}=\ +4\ mm.

We are asked to calculate the image height h_{i}.

The transverse magnification of the spherical concave mirror is given as -

                                  m=\ \frac{h_{i}} {h_{o}}=\ \frac{-v}{u}

                               ⇒  \frac{h_{i}} {h_{0}}=\ \frac{-v}{u}

                                ⇒   h_{i} =\ h_{0}\times \frac{-v}{u}

                                        =\ 4\times \frac{-(-16)}{(-8)}\ mm

                                        =\ -8\ mm    

The negative sign signifies that the image is inverted in nature.

Hence, the image height will be 8 mm.

Why doesn't the force of gravity change the speed of a bowling ball as it rolls along a bowling lane?
Oliga [24]
Because the gravitational force, which points downward, is perfectly balanced by the normal reaction of the floor of the bowling lane, which points upward. The two forces are equal in magnitude, so the net force acting vertically on the bowling ball is zero, therefore there is no acceleration along this direction. Moreover, since the ball is moving in the horizontal direction, the gravitational force has no component along this direction, so it does not change the velocity of the ball.

31. Draw a free body diagram for a 15.5N box that is being pushed to the right with a 18. N force while experiencing 4.30 N of r
posledela

Answer:

See answers below

Explanation:

a.

F = mg,

15.5 N = m(9.8 m/s²)

m = 1.58 kg

b.

Fnet = Applied force - resistance,

Fnet = 18 N - 4.30 N,

Fnet = 13.70 N

Fnet = ma

13.70 N = (1.58 kg)a

a = 8.67 m/s²

For the free body diagram, draw a box with an upward arrow labeled 15.5 N, a downward label labeled 15.5 N, a right label labeled 18 N, and a left label labeled 4.30 N.

What makes an electric charge?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Most electric charge is carried by the electrons and protons within an atom. Conversely, two protons repel each other, as do two electrons. Advertisement. Protons and electrons create electric fields, which exert a force called the Coulomb force, which radiates outward in all directions.

How much energy ( in joules ) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature ?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

Q=m \lambda_v

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is \lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg, so the heat released during the process is:

Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J
