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.

Marrrta [24]3 years ago

(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.

An automobile with 0.500 m radius tires travels 80,000 km before wearing them out. How many revolutions do the tires make, negle
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

n = 25,464,790.89 revolutions

The tires have made 25,464,790.89 revolutions

Explanation:

Given;

Radius of tires r = 0.5 m

Total distance travelled d = 80,000 km = 80,000,000 m

1 revolution = 2πr

Total distance d = number of revolutions n × 2πr

d = n×2πr

d = 2πnr

Making n the subject of formula;

n = d/2πr

Substituting the given values;

n = (80,000,000)/(2×π×0.5)

n = 25,464,790.89470 revolutions

n = 25,464,790.89 revolutions

The tires have made 25,464,790.89 revolutions

James Bond is trying to escape his enemy on a speedboat but
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

100 m/s

Explanation:

Mass the mass of Bond's boat is m₁. His enemy's boat is twice the mass of Bond's i.e. m₂ = 2 m₁

Initial speed of Bond's boat is 0 as it won't start and remains stationary in the water. The initial speed of enemy's boat is 50 m/s. After the collision, enemy boat is  completely stationary. Let v₁ is speed of bond's boat.

It is the concept of the conservation of momentum. It remains conserved. So,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Putting all the values, we get :

0+(2m_1)50=m_1v_1+(2m_2)(0)\\\\100m_1=m_1v_1\\\\v_1=100\ m/s

So, Bond's boat is moving with a speed of 100 m/s after the collision.

3 a A motorcyclist starts from rest and reaches
andrew-mc [135]

The acceleration of the body is 2 m/s^2 while the deceleration is - 1.2 m/s^2.

<h3>What is the acceleration?</h3>

Let us recall that the acceleration is the change in the speed of a body with time. We have been told that the body accelerates for 3s and then decelerates to 2s. This implies that the total time that the object spent in motion is 5 s.

Thus;

v = u + at

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

t = time taken

v - u/t = a

a = 6 - 0/3

= 2 m/s^2

Again;

v - u/t = a

a = 0 - 6/5

a = - 1.2m/s^2
