Answer:

The image is virtual and upright

Explanation:

The magnification of a lens can be written as follows:

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

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

q is the location of the image with respect to the lens

p is the location of the object with respect to the lens

In this situation, the magnification is positive. This means that:

- y' (the image) has same sign as y (the object) --> the image is upright (same orientation as the object)

- q has opposite sign to p --> this means that the image is located on the same side as the object, so it is a virtual image

Draw the following vector: 350 N, 30° south of east [1 cm = 50 N]

tiny-mole [99]

The magnitude and the position of the 350 N vector can be represented using arrow pointing out from the South-East of a Cartesian coordinate.

The given parameters:

Magnitude of the vector = 350 N
Position of the vector = 30⁰ South east

The vector is represented with arrow pointing out from south-east represented in a Cartesian coordinate.

The length of the arrow represents the magnitude of the vector which is 350 N.
The direction of the arrow indicated by the arrow head represents the position of the vector.
The position of the vector is 30 degrees South of East.

Thus, the magnitude and the position of the 350 N vector can be represented using arrow pointing out from the South-East of a Cartesian coordinate.

Please help :( A ray of laser light strikes a glass surface at an angle θa = 22.5° to the normal. What is the angle θb of the re

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of refraction which is as follows

sin i / sinr = μ , where i is angle of incidence , r is angle of refraction and μ is refractive index

here i = θa = 22.5°

r = θb

μ = 1.77

sin22.5 / sinθb = 1.77

.3826 / sinθb = 1.77

sinθb = .216

θb = 12.5 °.

Four equal masses m are located at the corners of a square of side L, connected by essentially massless rods. Find the rotationa

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Moment of Inertia: It is the property of an object that measures, how much an object can resist it's rotational motion.

We have 4 masses at the corner of square of length L. The formula of moment of inertia will be

I = m $L^{2}$

Finding the Rotational Inertia of this system

(a) that coincides with one side (Ia):

The moment of inertia of each of the two sides is

I = m $L^{2}$

so, both sides will have the moment of inertia equals to

I = 2m $L^{2}$

(b) that bisects two opposite sides (Ib):

The distance of all four masses from the axis= L/2

so, the moment of inertia of all four masses will be

I =4m $(L/2)^{2}$

I =4m $(L^{2})/4$

The final value will be

I = m $L^{2}$
