Use differentials to estimate the amount of metal in a closed cylindrical can that is 10 cm high and 10 cm in diameter if the me

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

dV = 32.98 cm³

Explanation:

We know that

V = f ( h,r)

$dV= \frac{\partial V}{\partial r}dr+ \frac{\partial V}{\partial h}dh$

We also know that

$V=\pi r^2h$

$dV= 2\pi h dr + \pi r^2 dh$

Given that

h= 10 cm

d=10 cm , r= 5 cm

Thickness = 0.05 cm so dr = 0.05 cm

The metal in the top and the bottom is 0.2 cm thick so dh = 0.2 + 0.2 cm

dh = 0.4 cm

Now by putting the values

$dV= 2\pi h dr + \pi r^2 dh$

$dV= 2\times \pi \times 5\times 0.05 + \pi \times 5^2\times 0.4\ cm^3$

dV = 32.98 cm³

A convex mirror of focal length 34 cm forms an image of a soda bottle at a distance of 18 cm behind the mirror. The height of th

Mademuasel [1]

<h2>Answers:</h2>

In convex mirrors the focus is virtual and the focal distance is negative. This is how the reflected rays diverge and only their extensions are cut at a point on the main axis, resulting in a virtual image of the real object .

<h2 /><h2>a) Position of the soda bottle (the object) </h2><h2 />

The Mirror equation is:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}$ (1)

Where:

$f$ is the focal distance

$u$ is the distance between the object and the mirror

$v$ is the distance between the image and the mirror

We already know the values of $f$ and $v$ , let's find $u$ from (1):

$u=\frac{v.f}{v-f}$ (2)

Taking into account the explanation at the beginign of this asnswer:

$f=-34cm$ and $v=-18cm$

The <u>negative signs</u> indicate the <u>focal distance</u> and the <u>distance between the image and the mirror are virtual </u>

Then:

$u=\frac{(-18cm)(-34cm)}{-18cm-(-34cm)}$

$u=38.25cm$ (3) >>>>Position of the soda bottle

<h2>b) magnification of the image </h2><h2 />

The magnification $m$ of the image is given by:

$m=-\frac{v}{u}$ (4)

$m=-\frac{(-18cm)}{38.25cm}$

$m=0.47$ (5)>>>the image is 0.47 smaller than the object

<h2>The fact that this value is positive means the image is upright </h2>

<h2>c) Describe the image </h2><h2 />

According to the explanations and results obtained in the prior answers, the correct option is 9:

<h2>The image is <u>virtual, upright, smaller</u> than the object </h2><h2 /><h2>d) Height of the soda bottle (object) </h2>

Another way to find the magnification is by the following formula:

$m=\frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}$ (6)

Where:

$h_{i}$ is the image height

$h_{o}$ is the object height

We already know the values of $m$ and $h_{i}$ , let's find $h_{o}$ :

$h_{o}=\frac{h_{i}}{m}$ (7)

$h_{o}=\frac{6.8cm}{0.47}$

$h_{o}=14.46cm$ (8) >>>height of thesoda bottle

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!! Part 1: Other than distance from the sun, which factor affects the temperature of a planet?

Svet_ta [14]

The thickness of the ozone layer (for earth) and the atmosphere.
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun but it isn’t the hottest because it has no atmosphere. Although Venus is the second planet from the sun, it is the hottest because of it’s thick atmosphere and the clouds that trap heat in.
