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 bicycle wheel has a diameter of 63.0 cm and a mass of 1.75 kg. Assume that the wheel is a hoop with all of the mass concentrat
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

F2 = 834 N

Explanation:

We are given the following for the bicycle;

Diameter; d1 = 63 cm = 0.63 m

Mass; m = 1.75 kg

Resistive force; F1 = 121 N

For the sprocket, we are given;

Diameter; d2 = 8.96 cm = 0.0896 m

Radius; r2 = 0.0896/2 = 0.0448 m

Radial acceleration; α = 4.4 rad/s²

Now moment of inertia of the wheel which is assumed to be a hoop is given by; I = m(r1)²

Where r1 = (d1)/2 = 0.63/2

r1 = 0.315 m

Thus, I = 1.75 × 0.315²

I = 0.1736 Kg.m²

The torque is given by the relation;

I•α = F1•r1 - F2•r2

Where F2 is the force that must be applied by the chain to give the wheel an acceleration of 4.40 rad/s².

Thus;

0.1736 × 4.4 = (121 × 0.315) - (0.0448F2)

>> 0.76384 = 38.115 - (0.0448F2)

>> 0.0448F2 = 38.115 - 0.76384

>> F2 = (38.115 - 0.76384)/0.0448

>> F2 = 833.73 N

Approximately; F2 = 834 N
