1) Solution of the problem using ray diagram (see attachment)

P is the point where the object is located, Q is the point where the image is located, F is the  focal length. Everything is in scale such that 1 small square = 0.10 m. As we can see:

(a) the location of the image (Q) is approximately at 7 small squares from the mirror, so the  distance of the image from the mirror will be between 0.65 m- 0.70m. Its size is a bit more than 1 small square, so it should be between 0.10 m- 0.15 m.

(b) the image is inverted

(c) the image is real, because it is on the same side of the object


2) Solution using mirror equation

(a) We have:
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}
By using p=2.1 m and f=0.50 m, we find q=0.66 cm, which corresponds to what we found using ray diagrams.

(b) For the magnification, we can use the equation:
M= \frac{h_i}{h_o} = - \frac{q}{p}
where h_i is the size of the image and h_o = 36 cm =0.36 m is the size of the object.
So, we find
M = -\frac{q}{p}= -\frac{0.66 m}{2.1 m}=-0.31
So, the magnification is 0.31 (the negative sign means the image is inverted)

(c) The height of the image is given by the  same equation of step (b):
M= \frac{h_i}{h_o}
So, since M=-0.31 and h_o = 36 cm=0.36 m, we find
h_i = -M h_o = (--0.31)(0.36 m)=-0.11 m=-11 cm
so, the size of the image is 11 cm, and the negative sign means again the image is inverted.

You charge an initially uncharged 65.7-mf capacitor through a 39.1-Ï resistor by means of a 9.00-v battery having negligible int
uysha [10]
In a RC-circuit, with the capacitor initially uncharged,  when we connect the battery to the circuit the charge on the capacitor starts to increase following the law:
Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})
where t is the time, Q_0 = CV is the maximum charge on the capacitor at voltage V, and \tau = RC is the time constant of the circuit.
Using this law, we can answer all the three questions of the problem.

1) Using R=39.1 \Omega and C= 65.7 mF=65.7\cdot 10^{-3}F, the time constant of the circuit is:
\tau = RC=(39.1 \Omega)(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)=2.57 s

2) To find the charge on the capacitor at time t=1.95 \tau, we must find before the maximum charge on the capacitor, which is
Q_0 = CV=(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)(9 V)=0.59 C
And then, the charge at time t=1.95 \tau is equal to
Q(1.95 \tau) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})=(0.59 C)(1-e^{-1.95})=0.51 C

3) After a long time (let's say much larger than the time constant of the circuit), the capacitor will be fully charged, this means its charge will be Q_0 = 0.59 C. We can see this also from the previous formule, by using t=\infty:
Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-\infty})=Q_0(1-0) = 0.59 C
