A convex spherical mirror, whose focal length has a magnitude of 15.8 cm, is to form an image 12.2 cm behind the mirror.

(a) we can solve the problem by using the mirror equation:
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i}
where 
f is the focal length of the mirror
d_o is the distance of the object from the mirror
d_i is the distance of the image from the mirror.

For the sign convention, f is taken as negative for a convex mirror and d_i is taken as negative if the image is located behind the mirror, as in this problem. So we have 
f=-15.8 cm
d_i=-12.2 cm
and re-arranging the mirror equation we can find the distance of the object from the mirror:
\frac{1}{d_o}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{d_i}= \frac{1}{-15.8 cm} - \frac{1}{-12.2 cm}
from which we find
d_o=53.5 cm

(b) The magnitude is defined as the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the object, which is also equal to the negative of the ratio between the distance of the image and the distance of the object from the mirror:
M= \frac{h_i}{h_o} =- \frac{d_i}{d_o}
Using what we found at point (a), the magnification in this problem is
M=- \frac{-12.2 cm}{53.5 cm}=0.23
where the positive sign means the image is upright.

A football player collides with another player. The force of the collision is
iragen [17]

Answer:

Impulse = 1000 Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force of collision = 1000 kg•m/s.

Time = 1 seconds

To find the impulse;

Mathematically, the impulse experienced by an object or body is given by the formula;

Impulse = force * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Impulse = 1000 * 1

Impulse = 1000 Ns

A 265 g mass attached to a horizontal spring oscillates at a frequency of 3.40 Hz . At t =0s, the mass is at x= 6.20 cm and has
lara [203]

Answer:

The phase constant is 7.25 degree  

Explanation:

given data

mass = 265 g

frequency = 3.40 Hz

time t = 0 s

x = 6.20 cm

vx = - 35.0 cm/s

solution

as phase constant is express as

y = A cosФ ..............1

here A is amplitude that is = \sqrt{(\frac{v_x}{\omega })^2+y^2 }  = \sqrt{(\frac{35}{2\times \pi  \times y})^2+6.2^2 }  =  6.25 cm

put value in equation 1

6.20 = 6.25 cosФ

cosФ  = 0.992

Ф = 7.25 degree  

so the phase constant is 7.25 degree
