A 66.5-kg hiker starts at an elevation of 1270 m and climbs to the top of a peak 2660 m high.

Answer

given,

mass of the hiker = 66.5 kg

elevation of the hiker,h₁ = 1270 m

elevation of top peak,h₂ = 2660 m

a) Change in potential energy

    Δ PE = m g h₂ - m g h₁

    Δ PE = m g (h₂ - h₁)

    Δ PE = 66.5 x 9.8 x  (2660 - 1270)

    Δ PE = 905863 J

b) Minimum work require by the hiker will be equal to Δ PE = 905863 J

c) yes, it can be more than this, if friction is present on the surface.

Explanation:

1. Convex mirror is curved outward.

2. Convex mirror forms an image that is smaller than the object.

3. Concave mirror is used to focus light rays. That's why it is also known as a converging mirror.

4. Plane mirror has a flat surface. It forms the same size of the image as that of the object.

A 200g(m2) mass is pulling the cart (m1) across the table as shown below. If it covers 1.12m in 4.8 seconds starting from rest,
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: 20.21 kg

Explanation:

The mass hanging from the pulley is pulling the cart. The force by which cart is being pulled is equal to weight of the hanging mass.

F=m_2g

⇒F=0.200 kg ×9.8 m/s²=1.96 N

Since there is no other force acting on the cart and there is no friction, so this force will pull the cart.

The Cart covers 1.12 m distance in 4.8 s.

From the equation of motion,

s = u t + 0.5 × a t²

We will find the acceleration of the cart,

Distance covered, s = 1.12 m

Initial velocity, u = 0 ( staring from rest)

Time taken, t = 4.8 s

⇒1.12 m = 0 + 0.5 × a × (4.8 s)²

⇒a = 0.097 m/s²

Now the force which causes this acceleration is:

F = ma

where m is the mass of the cart and a is the acceleration of the cart

⇒1.96 N = m×0.097 m/s²

⇒m = 20.21 kg

Hence, the mass of the cart is 20.21 kg.

A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of magnitude 20.0 cm. (a) Find the location of the image for object distanc
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The radius of curvature of the mirror R = 20 cm

then the focal length f = R/2 = 10 cm

(a) From mirror formula

 1/f = 1/di + /1do

then the image distance

    di = fd_o / d_o - f

  = (10)(40) / 40-10

 = 30.76 cm

since the image distance is positive so the image is real

ii) when the object distance d_0=20 cm

 di = 10×20/ 20-10

= 20

Hence, the image must be  real

iii)when the object distance d_0 = 10

di = 10×10 / 10-10 =  ∞ (infinite)

the image will be formed at ∞

here also image will be real but diminished.
