Explanation:

Using properties of 30-60-90 triangles, the distance from the vase to the mirror is 2/√3, and the distance from the mirror to the girl is also 2/√3. So the light travels a total distance of 4/√3 meters.

t = d / v

t = (4/√3 m) / (3×10⁸ m/s)

t = 7.7×10⁻⁹ s

An object is 30 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm. Use ray tracing to determine the location of the

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

i). Inverted

ii). Magnification of the image = -0.5

iii). Real

Explanation:

As shown in the ray diagram attached,

An object AB has been placed in front of converging lens (convex lens) at u = 30 cm.

F (Focus) of the lens is at 10 cm. So F = 10 cm

By analyzing the ray diagram we can measure the distance of the image on the other side of the lens (By counting the small blocks of the graph)

V = 15 cm

Characteristics of the image is:

i) Inverted

ii) Magnification of the image = $-\frac{v}{u}=-\frac{15}{30}$

= -0.5

ii) Real

A sample of argon gas (molar mass 40 g) is at four times the absolute temperature of a sample of hydrogen gas (molar mass 2 g).

qaws [65]

To solve this problem, let us recall that the formula for gases assuming ideal behaviour is given as:

rms = sqrt (3 R T / M)

where

R = gas constant = 8.314 Pa m^3 / mol K

T = temperature

M = molar mass

Now we get the ratios of rms of Argon (1) to hydrogen (2):

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (3 R T1 / M1) / sqrt (3 R T2 / M2)

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt ((T1 / M1) / (T2 / M2))

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (T1 M2 / T2 M1)

Since T1 = 4 T2

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 T2 M2 / T2 M1)

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 M2 / M1)

and M2 = 2 while M1 = 40

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 * 2 / 40)

rms1 / rms2 = 0.447

Therefore the ratio of rms is:

<span>rms_Argon / rms_Hydrogen = 0.45</span>

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a

Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = $3.1$ m

Width of the window = $2.1$ m

Area of the window = $(3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2$

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

= $(1.0-0.954)$ atm = $0.046$ atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒ $1$ atm = $101325$ Pa

⇒ $0.046$ atm = $0.046\times 101325 =4660.95$ Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ $Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}$

⇒ $Force =Pressure\times Area$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $Force =4660.95\times 6.51$

⇒ $Force=30342.78$ Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.
