Kinetic energy has this unit?

balandron [24]

The image distance when a boy holds a toy soldier in front of a concave mirror, with a focal length of 0.45 m. is -0.56 m.

<h3>What is image distance?</h3>

This is the distance between the image formed and the focus when an object is placed in front of a plane mirror.

To calculate the image distance, we use the formula below.

Formula:

1/f = 1/u+1/v........... Equation 1

Where:

f = Focal length of the mirror
v = Image distance
u = object distance

From the question,

Given:

f = 0.45 m
u = 0.25 m

Substitute these values into equation 1 and solve for the image distance

1/0.45 = 1/0.25 + 1/v
2.22 = 4+1/v
1/v = 2.22-4
1/v = -1.78
v = 1/(-1.78)
v = -0.56 m

Hence, The image distance is -0.56 m.

A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the

Liono4ka [1.6K]

The energy of the ski lift at the base is kinetic energy:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m is the mass of the ski lift+the people carried, and $v=15.5 m/s$ is velocity at the base.
As long as the ski lift goes upward, its velocity decreases and its kinetic energy converts into potential energy. Eventually, when it reaches the top, its final velocity is v=0, so no kinetic energy is left and it has all converted into gravitational potential energy, which is
$U=mgh$
where $g=9.81 m/s^2$ and h is the height at the top of the hill.

So, since the total energy must conserve, we have
$U=K$
and so
$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
from which we find the height:
$h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(15.5m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=12 m$

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

t₂ = 3.89 s

Explanation:

given,

speed of car = 23 m/s

speed of motorcycle = 23 m/s

after time of 4 s distance between them is equal to = 53 m

motorcycle accelerates at = 7 m/s

time taken to catch up with car = ?

let t₂ be the time in which motorcycle catches car.

distance traveled by car in t₂ s

d = 23 t₂ + 53

distance traveled by motorcycle

using equation of motion

$s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$s = 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2$

now, equating both the distances

$23t_2 + 53= 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2$

$t_2^2 = 15.143$

t₂ = 3.89 s

time taken by the motorcycle to catch the car is equal to 3.89 s

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

$4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m$

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.

In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$
