Answer:

u = 18 cm

Explanation:

given,

radius of curvature = 60 cm

magnification of mirror = 2.5

distance of object  = ?

R = 2 f

f = R/2

f = 60/2 = 30 cm

m = -\dfrac{v}{u}

2.5 = -\dfrac{v}{u}

v = -2.5 u

now,

Using mirror formula

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

\dfrac{1}{30} = \dfrac{1}{-2.5u} + \dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{30} = \dfrac{0.6}{u}

u = 0.6 x 30

u = 18 cm

distance of object be equal to u = 18 cm

Svetllana [295]
<span>B) 0.6 N
   I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>
