Answer:

m = \frac{-4.4}{7.4}

Explanation:

magnification is the ratio of distance of image to distance of object

i.e. m = -\frac{d_i}{d_o}

d_i = -4.4 d_o

As per the lens equation,

\frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{f}

We will calculate the focal length of the mirror

\frac{1}{yd_o} + \frac{1}{-4.4d_o} = \frac{1}{f} \\\frac{4.4 -1}{4.4} \frac{1}{d_o} =  \frac{1}{f}\\f = \frac{4.4}{3.4}  d_o

Now for convex mirror only the sign will change

Thus, focal length would be equal to

f = - \frac{4.4}{3.4} d_o

Plugging this value into lens equation, we get

\frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{f} \\\frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{-3.4}{4.4} \frac{1}{d_o} \\\frac{7.4}{4.4} \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{d_i}\\\frac{d_i}{d_o} = \frac{4.4}{7.4} \\m =-  \frac{d_i}{d_o} \\\\m = - \frac{4.4}{7.4}

Point charge q1 of 30 nC is separated by 50 cm from point charge q2 of -45 nC. As shown in the diagram, point a is located 30 cm
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

E1 =  2996.667N/C E2 = 11237.5N/C

Explanation:

E1 = kQ1/r^2

  =8.99 x 10^9 x 30 x 10^-9/(30x10^-2)^2

  = 2996.667N/C

E2 = kQ2/r^2

      = 8.99 x 10^9 x 50 x 10^-9/(20x10^-2)^2

      = 11237.5N/C
