When an object with a height of 0.10 meter is placed at a distance of 0.20 meter from a convex spherical mirror, the image will

appear to be 0.06 meter behind the mirror. What’s the height of the image?

Answer:

0.03 m

Explanation:

Mirrors work on the principle of reflection.

Reflection occurs when a ray of light hits a surface and bounces back into the origina medium at a different angle.

We can solve this problem by using the magnification equation:

\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{q}{p}

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

q is the distance of the image from the mirror

p is the distance of the object from the mirror

Here we have:

y = 0.10 m is the height of the object

p = 0.20 m is the distance of the object from the mirror

q = -0.06 m is the distance of the image from the mirror (negative because it appears behind the mirror, so it is a virtual image)

Solving for y', we find the size of the image:

y'=-\frac{q}{p}y=-\frac{-0.06}{0.20}(0.10)=0.03 m

And the positive sign indicates that the image is upright.

<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit;  its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²

2). a parabola

3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.

4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both  hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity

5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

6). a). 1.8 seconds;   b). 13.1 meters;   c). 17.6 m/s down;   d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

7). 45 m/s

8). without air resistance, the ball is traveling horizontally at 13 km/hr, and it lands back in your hand

9). a). 4.49 m/s;  b). 29.7 m/s

10). 7.24 meters

11).  700 meters

12).  A). 103.7 meters ( ! she's in big trouble ! );     B).  17.5 meters

How does a wind turbine transform mechanical energy into electrical energy?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

"A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator."

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newtons is applied from the right? A. in the direction of the appl
-Dominant- [34]

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.
