Answer:

9 cm

-36 cm

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 12

m = Magnification = 4

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 4=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-4u

Lens equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-4u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{4u}\\\Rightarrow u=9\ cm

Object distance is 9 cm

v=-4\times 9=-36\ cm

Image distance is -36 cm (other side of object)

A rock is stuck deep in the dirt. When you pull on the rock to remove it, what type of force are you exerting?
aleksandrvk [35]
It is Tension as the other 3 answer choices would not make sense. Compression would mean you are pressing the rock on both sides or in this case, pushing it into the dirt. It can't be nuclear force as you are pulling out a rock. Air resistance would not make sense either as there is no air involved in the scenario at all.

nordsb [41]
Look at the rock sitting on the hill in the picture above. Gravity should make the rock slide down the hill. What force is acting to balance gravity,keeping the rock in place? - D. friction
Centripetal force and momentum have to do with movement. Gravity cannot balance gravity.

What is the advantage in solving motion problems using energy conservation principles instead of free body diagrams
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

However, the disadvantages are:

1. Many atimes for some motion prolems, free-body diagrams has to be drawn many times so to have enough equations to solve for the unknowns. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

2. In situations where we need to find the internal forces acting on an object, we can't truly solve such problems using free-body diagram as it captures external forces. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

Explanation:

Often times the ideal method to use in solving motion problem related questions are mostly debated.

Energy conservation principles applies to isolated systems are useful when object changes their positions in moving upward or downward converts its potential energy due to gravity for kinetic energy, or the other way round. When energy in a system or motion remains constant that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can therefore be easier to calculate other unknown paramters like in the motion problem velocity, distance bearing it in mind that energy can only change from one type to another.

On the other hand, free body diagram which is a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object including their directions has so many advantages in solving motion related problems which include finding relationship between force and motion in identifying the force acting on a body.

Two bodies are falling with negligible air resistance, side by side, above a horizontal plane. If one of the bodies is given an
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:4-strikes the plane at same time as the other body

Explanation:

Given

If both bodies is falling on a horizontal plane and second body is given an acceleration in horizontal direction then it does not change the time to reach the Horizontal Plate as there is no change in vertical direction.

Horizontal acceleration will give only horizontal range and horizontal velocity.
