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

An object is falling from a height of 7.5 meters. At what height will it’s velocity be 7 meters/second?
Nady [450]
One of the equations of gravity is this:
{v}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2gh
Where v = final velocity which is 7m/s
u = initial velocity which is 0 for objects falling from a height
g = acceleration due to gravity and it is approximately 10m/s^2. It's a constant so pretty much remember this number. It's positive since the work being done is caused by gravity (in other words, it's falling down). It can also be negative if the work being down is against gravity (in other words, it's going up)
h = height of object

Substitute for the values and you should have something like this
{7}^{2} = {0}^{2} + 2 \times 10 \times h
49 = 0 + 20h
h = \frac{49}{20}
h = 2.5m

What is the name given to the initial 150 counts in 2 minutes?
Whitepunk [10]

Divide CFU of Dilution. Divide the CFU of the dilution (the number of colonies you counted) by the result from step 4. For this example, you work out 46 ÷ 1/1000, which is the same as 46 x 1,000. The result is 46,000 CFU in the original sample.
