Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = \frac{r}{2}

f = \frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m

Now,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

- 2 = -\frac{v}{u}

\frac{v}{u} = 2                  (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

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

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

v = \frac{uf}{u - f}            (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = \frac{uf}{u - f}

2 = \frac{f}{u - f}

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

An object in the shape of a thin ring has radius a and mass M. A uniform sphere with mass m and radius R is placed with its cent
madreJ [45]

Answer:

F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³

Explanation:

The force dF on the mass element dm of the ring due to the sphere of mass, m at a distance L from the mass element is

dF = GmdM/L²

Since the ring is symmetrical, the vertical components of this force cancel out leaving the horizontal components to add.

So, the horizontal components add from two symmetrically opposite mass elements dM,

Thus, the horizontal component of the force is

dF' = dFcosФ where Ф is the angle between L and the x axis

dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²

L² = a² + x² where a = radius of ring and x = distance of axis of ring from sphere.

L = √(a² + x²)

cosФ = x/L

dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²

dF' = GmdMx/L³

dF' = GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³

Integrating both sides we have

∫dF' = ∫GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³

∫dF' = Gm∫dMx/[√(a² + x²)]³    ∫dM = M

F = GmMx/[√(a² + x²)]³  

F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³

So, the force due to the sphere of mass m is

F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³

The impact of the type of material of which the slope is made on acceleration
Pachacha [2.7K]

 The impact of the material type with which the slope is made affects the acceleration. Acceleration will be higher and smoother if the material of the slope surface is smoother as opposed to a texture which is not smooth. Smoother surface allows more acceleration because it will have less friction and resistance. Otherwise the friction will slow the object down for example a grassy ground will have more friction than a well maintained marble floor.

Two blocks, A and B, are connected by a rope. A second rope is connected to block B and a steady, horizontal tension force of T
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed of system is constant

Therefore, acceleration=a=0

Tension applied on block B=T=50 N

Friction force=f=10 N

We have to find the friction force acting on block A.

Let T' be the tension in string connecting block A and block B and friction force on block A be f'.

For Block B

T-f-T'=m_Ba

Where m_B=Mass of block B

Substitute the values

50-10-T'=m_B\times 0=0

T'==40 N

For block A

T'-f'=m_Aa

Where m_A=Mass of block A

Substitute the values

40-f'=m_A\times 0=0

f'=40 N

Hence, the friction force acting on block A=40 N
