Answer:

Explanation:

Using the magnification formula.

Magnification = Image distance(v)/object distance(u) = Image Height(H1)/Object Height(H2)

M = v/u = H1/H2

v/u = H1/H2...1

3) Given the radius of curvature of the concave lens R = 20cm

Focal length F = R/2

f = 20/2

f = 10cm

Object distance u = 5cm

Object height H2= 5cm

To get the image distance v, we will use the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u+1/v

1/v = 1/10-1/5

1/v = (1-2)/10

1/v =-1/10

v = -10cm

Using the magnification formula

(10)/5 = H1/5

10 = H1

H1 = 10cm

Image height of the peg is 10cm

4) If u = 15cm

1/v = 1/f-1/u

1/v = 1/10-1/15

1/v = 3-2/30

1/v = 1/30

v = 30cm

30/15 = H1/5

15H1 = 150

H1/= 10cm

5) if u = 20cm

1/v = 1/f-1/u

1/v = 1/10-1/20

1/v = 2-1/20

1/v = 1/20

v = 20cm

20/20 = H1/5

20H1 = 100

H1 = 5cm

6) If u = 30cm

1/v = 1/f-1/u

1/v = 1/10-1/30

1/v = 3-1/30

1/v = 2/30

v = 30/2 cm

v =>15cm

15/30 = Hi/5

30H1 = 75

H1 = 75/30

H1 = 2.5cm

A wheel has a constant angular acceleration of 4.5 rad/s2. during a certain 5.0 s interval, it turns through an angle of 128 rad

dalvyx [7]

The solution for this problem is through this formula:Ø = w1 t + 1/2 ã t^2
where:Ø - angular displacement w1 - initial angular velocity t - time ã - angular acceleration
128 = w1 x 4 + ½ x 4.5 x 5^2 128 = 4w1 + 56.254w1 = -128 + 56.25 4w1 = 71.75w1 = 71.75/4
w1 = 17.94 or 18 rad s^-1
w1 = wo + ãt
w1 - final angular velocity
wo - initial angular velocity
18 = 0 + 4.5t t = 4 s

Check all that apply. The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is parallel to the magnetic

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field.

The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current.

The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on a current-carrying wire due to a magnetic field is given by

$F=ILB sin \theta$ (1)

where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the strength of the magnetic field, $\theta$ the angle between the direction of the field and the direction of the current.

Also, B, I and F in the formula are all perpendicular to each other. (2)

According to eq.(1), we see that the statement:

"The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines."

is correct, because when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field, $\theta=90^{\circ}, sin \theta = 1$ and the force is maximum.

Moreover, according to (2), we also see that the statements

"The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field. "

"The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current. "

because F (the force) is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the current.
