A mirror forms an erect image 40cm from the object and one third its height where must the mirror be situated ​

Physics

iragen [17]3 years ago
5 0

The mirror is located 30 cm from the object

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the magnification equation, which states that:

M=\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{q}{p}

where

M is the magnification

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

q is the distance of the image  from the mirror

p is the distance of the object from the mirror

In this problem, we notice that the image formed by the mirror is erect and diminished: this means that this is a convex mirror, so the image is virtual, and this means that the image and the object are located on opposite sides of the mirror. Therefore,

p-q=40 cm (distance of the image from the object is 40 cm, but since the image is virtual, q is the negative)

The size of the image is 1/3 that of the object, so

y'=\frac{1}{3}y

Solving the equation for p, we find the distance between the object and the mirror:

\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{p-40}{p}\\\\p=\frac{40}{1+\frac{y'}{y}}=\frac{40}{4/3}=30 cm

So, the mirror is 30 cm from the object.

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]

Electric resistance ____________ with a(n) ____________in the length of a wire and as a result current flow ___________.
maria [59]
The answer is D. Electric resistance increases with an increase in the length of a wire and as a result current flow decreases. There is a direct relationship between the length of the wire and the resistance. The longer the wire, the more resistance there will be. Additionally, from Ohm's Law, current is inversely proportional to resistance. This means as the current increases, resistance decreases or vice versa.
