Rama09 [41]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Magnification, m = -0.42

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of diamond ring, h = 1.5 cm

Object distance, u = -20 cm

Radius of curvature of concave mirror, R = 30 cm

Focal length of mirror, f = R/2 = -15 cm (focal length is negative for concave mirror)

Using mirror's formula :

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}, f = focal length of the mirror

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-15}+\dfrac{1}{-20}

v = -8.57 cm

The magnification of a mirror is given by,

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-(-8.57)}{-20}

m = -0.42

So, the magnification of the concave mirror is 0.42. Thew negative sign shows that the image is inverted.

A truck travels to and from a stone quarry that is located 2.5 km to the east. What is the total distance traveled by the truck?
scoray [572]

Answer:

5 km

0

Explanation:

The question says the truck travelled to and fro from the stone quarry.

When going to the stone quarry, the distance was 2.5 km to the east.

On returning, the distance back is also 2.5km

Therefore total distance travelled is 2.5km + 2.5km

= 5km

The displacement 8s dependent on what is the initial and also the final position. The initial and the final position are one and the same thing. Because the truck starts and goes back to the same position, the displacement is zero.

If you take two steps of different sizes, can you end up at your starting point (in other words, can two vectors with different
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a) No, Two vectors with different magnitudes can never add up to zero.

b) Yes, Three or more vectors with different magnitudes can add up to zero.

Explanation:

a) No, Two vectors with different magnitudes can never add up to zero.

Given vector A and B

A = (x1,y1,z1) and B = (x2,y2,z2)

For A + B = 0

This conditions must be satisfied.

x1 + x2 = 0

y1 + y2 = 0

z1 + z2 = 0

Therefore, for those conditions to be meet the magnitude of A must be equal to that of B.

b) Yes, Three or more vectors with different magnitudes can add up to zero.

For example, three forces acting at equilibrium like supporting the weight of a person with two different ropes.

W = T1 + T2

Where;

W = Weight

T1 = tension of wire 1

T2 = tension of wire 2

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

it is the Hubble law

Explanation:

Hubble's law, also known as the Hubble–Lemaître law, is the observation in physical cosmology that galaxies are moving away from the Earth at speeds proportional to their distance. In other words, the farther they are the faster they are moving away from Earth.

An open bed truck is moving at 20 m/s and comes to a stop. A 100 kg crate sitting in the back of the truck remains at rest in th
zzz [600]

The work done was done by friction to keep the crate from moving as the truck came to a stop is 20,000 J.

<h3>Work done by friction to prevent the crate from moving</h3>

The work done is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy.

W = K.E

W = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • m is mass of crate
  • v is speed of the crate with respect to the truck = 20 m/s

W = ¹/₂(100)(20²)

W = 20,000 J

Thus, the work done was done by friction to keep the crate from moving as the truck came to a stop is 20,000 J.
