Answer:

2.28

Explanation:

From mirror formula,

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

Where f = focal length of the mirror, v = image distance, u = object distance.

Note: The focal length mirror is positive.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = fu/(u-f)............ Equation 2

Given: f = 2.5 cm, u = 1.4 cm

Substitute into equation 2

v = 2.5(1.4)/(1.4-2.5)

v = 3.5/-1.1

v = -3.2 cm.

Note: v is negative because it is a virtual image.

But,

Magnification = image distance/object distance

M = v/u

Where M = magnification.

Given: v = 3.2 cm, u = 1.4 cm

M = 3.2/1.4

M = 2.28.

Thus the magnification of the tooth = 2.28.

The x vector component of a displacement vector has a magnitude of 146 m and points along the negative x axis. The y vector comp
larisa86 [58]

Answer:  

a) the magnitude of r is  184.62

b) the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis

   

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

as illustrated in the image blow;

To find the the magnitude of r, we will use the Pythagoras theorem

r² = y² + x²

r = √( y² + x²)

we substitute

r = √((-113)² + (-146)²)

r = √(12769 + 21316 )

r = √(34085 )

r = 184.62

Therefore, the magnitude of r is  184.62

To find its direction, we need to find ∅

from SOH CAH TOA

tan = opposite / adjacent

tan∅ = -113 / -146

tan∅ = 0.77397

∅ = tan⁻¹( 0.77397 )

∅ = 37.74°

Therefore, the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis

A 0.9 µF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 10.0 V. The wires connecting the capacitor to the battery are then di
jeyben [28]

Answer:

3.6μF

Explanation:

The charge on the capacitor is defined by the formula

q = CV

because the charge will be conserved

q₁ = C₁V₂

q₂ = C₂V₂ where C₂ V₂ represent the charge on the newly connected capacitor  and the voltage drop across the two capacitor will be the same

q = q₁ + q₂ = C₁V₂ + C₂V₂

CV = CV₂ + C₂V₂

CV - CV₂ = C₂V₂

C ( V - V₂) = C₂V₂

C ( V/ V₂ - V₂ /V₂) = C₂

C₂ = 0.9 ( 10 /2) - 1) = 0.9( 5 - 1) = 3.6μF

9. According to statistical theory, 68% of your measurements of time should fall within the range of and of therefore about 3 of
Nady [450]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes, this is a random error generating because of statistical constraint. We only have finite number of data points. As per this, if we plot our observation we will get a gaussian (inverse bell ) shaped curve with mean equal to central value.

In avarage,How many times do a child breathe in a
ollegr [7]
On an approximate scale, A child breaths 20 times a minute as compared to only 12 to 16 in resting phase of an Adult.

So, In 60 minutes (1 hour), They breathe = 20 * 60 = 1200
In 24 hours (1 day), They breathe = 1200 * 24 = 28,800

In short, Your Answer would be: 28,800

Hope this helps!

A weight lifter is trying to do a bicep curl with a weight of 300 N. At the "sticking point", the moment arm of this weight is 3
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The weight lifter would not get past this sticking point.

Explanation:

Generally torque applied on the weight is mathematically represented as

             T =  F z

To obtain Elbow torque we substitute 4000 N for F (the force ) and 2cm = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m for z the perpendicular distance

So Elbow Torque is   T_e= 4000 * 0.02

                                   = 80Nm

 To obtain the torque required we substitute 300 N for F and 30cm =\frac{30}{100} = 0.3 m

  So the Required Torque is T_R = 300 *0.3

                                                     =90Nm

Now since   T_e < T_R it mean that the weight lifter would not get past this sticking point
