What are the characteristics of a virtual image? Check all that apply.

Answer:

In a concave mirror, the image is real if the distance of the object from the mirror is greater than the focal length and virtual if it is less than the focal length. If the object is at the focus the image is formed at infinity. In a convex mirror, the image is always virtual.

(15pts) A hungry 12.0 kg fish is coasting from west to east at 75 cm/s when it suddenly swallows a 1 kg fish swimming towards it

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s.

Explanation:

Consider west to east direction as positive and the opposite direction as negative.

Given:

Mass of big fish (m₁) = 12.0 kg

Initial velocity of big fish (u₁) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Mass of small fish (m₂) = 1 kg

Initial velocity of small fish (u₂) = -4 m/s (Direction is opposite to u₁)

After swallowing the small fish, both the fishes move together with same velocity. Let the velocity be 'v'.

So, as there are no effects of drag or any other forces, the given scenario can be considered as a case of inelastic collision where the objects move together with same velocity after collision.

The momentum is conserved in inelastic collision. Therefore,

Initial momentum of the fishes = Final momentum of the fishes

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'v'. This gives,

$v=\frac{12.0\times 0.75+1\times (-4)}{12.0+1}\\\\v=\frac{9-4}{13}\\\\v=\frac{5}{13}=0.38\ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s

Order the speed of sound through these materials from the slowest to the fastest.

Sholpan [36]

Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Explanation:

Step 1:

Speed of sound in water varies from 1450 to 1498 meters per second

Speed of sound in Hot Molten lead is approximately 1210 meters per second

Speed of sound in warm air is approximately 338.89 meters per second

Speed of sound in cold air is approximately 293.33 meters per second

Step 2:

In warm air sound travels faster than that of sound travelling nature in cold air.

∴ Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Speed of sound in cold air the slowest while Speed of sound in water is the fastest mean.

What is the de Broglie wavelength of an object with a mass of 2.50 kg moving at a speed of 2.70 m/s? (Useful constant: h = 6.63×

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

9.82 × $10^{-35}$ Hz

Explanation:

De Broglie equation is used to determine the wavelength of a particle (e.g electron) in motion. It is given as:

λ = $\frac{h}{mv}$

where: λ is the required wavelength of the moving electron, h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass of the particle, v is its speed.

Given that: h = 6.63 × $10^{-34}$ Js, m = 2.50 kg, v = 2.70 m/s, the wavelength, λ, can be determined as follows;

λ = $\frac{h}{mv}$

= $\frac{6.63*10^{-34} }{2.5*2.7}$

= $\frac{6.63 * 10^{-34} }{6.75}$

= 9.8222 × $10^{-35}$

The wavelength of the object is 9.82 × $10^{-35}$ Hz.
