Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

 Velocity of a body = Displacement of the body/Time taken

Displacement and velocity are a vector. Both have direction and magnitude.

Displacement is generally distance with direction.

If we divide distance with time taken we will get speed of the airplane. Speed with direction is called velocity. So we need distance between Houston and Dallas, time taken by plane to travel from Houston to Dallas and direction of displacement from Houston to Dallas.

So we need direction.

Option B is the correct answer.

If the focal length of a concave mirror is 18cm, find its radius of curvature.
Galina-37 [17]

Given :

The focal length of a concave mirror is 18 cm.

To Find :

The radius of curvature of the concave mirror.

Solution :

We know,

\text{Focal length}=\dfrac{\text{Radius of curvature}}{2}\\\\F=\dfrac{R}{2}\\\\R = 18\times 2\ cm\\\\R = 36 \ cm

Therefore, the radius of curvature of concave mirror is 36 cm.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A woman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. The boo
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]
