sineoko [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The image height is 0.00283 m or 0.283 cm and is inverted due to the negative sign

Explanation:

u = Object distance =  9 m

v = Image distance = 1.7 cm (as the image is forming on the retina)

h_u= Object height = 1.5 m

Magnification

m=-\frac{v}{u}=\frac{h_v}{h_u}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{v}{u}=\frac{h_v}{h_u}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{0.017}{9}=\frac{h_v}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow h_v=-0.00283\ m

The image height is 0.00283 m or 0.283 cm and is inverted due to the negative sign

Which of the following are true? Select all that apply. The net electric field at any location inside a block of copper is zero
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

1) The net electric field at any location inside a block of copper is zero if the copper block is in equilibrium.

2) In equilibrium, there is no net flow of mobile charged particles inside a conductor.

3) If the net electric field at a particular location inside a piece of metal is not zero, the metal is not in equilibrium.

Explanation:

1) and 3) A block of copper is a conductor. The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest, so the intensity of the electric field at all interior points of the conductor is zero, otherwise, the charges would move resulting in an electric current.

2) The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest.

Let’s say I am in a bumper car and have a velocity of 14 m/s, driving in the positive x-direction. I and my bumped car have a ma
AlekseyPX

Answer:

160 kg

12 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of first car = 120 kg

m_2 = Mass of second car

u_1 = Initial Velocity of first car = 14 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of second car = 0 m/s

v_1 = Final Velocity of first car = -2 m/s

v_2 = Final Velocity of second car

For perfectly elastic collision

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}-m_{1}v_{1}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=120\times 14+m_2\times 0-(120\times -2)\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=1920\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}

Applying in the next equation

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 120}{120+\frac{1920}{v_2}}\times 14+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\times 0\\\Rightarrow \left(120+\frac{1920}{v_2}\right)v_2=3360\\\Rightarrow 120v_2+1920=3360\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{3360-1920}{120}\\\Rightarrow v_2=12\ m/s

m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{12}\\\Rightarrow m_2=160\ kg

Mass of second car = 160 kg

Velocity of second car = 12 m/s

Two identical particles of charge 6 μμC and mass 3 μμg are initially at rest and held 3 cm apart. How fast will the particles mo
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The charges will repel each other and go away with increasing velocity , their kinetic energy coming from their potential energy .

Their potential energy at distance d

= kq₁q₂ / d

= 9 x 10⁹ x 36 x 10⁻¹² / 2 x 10⁻² J

= 16.2 J

Their total kinetic energy will be equal to this potential energy.

2 x 1/2 x mv² = 16.2

= 3 x 10⁻⁶ v² = 16.2

v = 5.4 x 10⁶

v = 2.32 x 10³ m/s

When masses are different , total P.E, will be divided between them as follows

K E of 3 μ = (16.2 / 30+3) x 30

= 14.73 J

1/2 X 3 X 10⁻⁶ v₁² = 14.73

v₁ = 3.13 x 10³

K E of 30 μ = (16.2 / 30+3) x 3

= 1.47 J

1/2 x 30 x 10⁻⁶ x v₂² = 1.47

v₂ = .313 x 10³ m/s

An ordinary flashlight battery has a potential difference of 1.2 V between its positive and negative terminals. How much work mu
Maru [420]

The work done to transport an electron from the positive to the negative terminal is 1.92×10⁻¹⁹ J.

Given:

Potential difference, V = 1.2 V

Charge on an electron, e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Calculation:

We know that the work done to transport an electron from the positive to the negative terminal is given as:

W.D = (Charge on electron)×(Potential difference)

       = e × V

       = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)×(1.2 V)

       = 1.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore, the work done in bringing the charge from the positive terminal to the negative terminal is 1.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ J.
