From tables, the density of mercury is
13545 kg/m^3 at 20°C,
13472 kg/m^3 at 50°C.

Because mass = density * volume, the mass of mercury at 20°C is
m = (13545 kg/m^3)*(0.002 m^3) = 27.09 kg

Let V = volume of mercury at 50°C.
Because the mass of mercury does not change, therefore at 50°C,
(13472 kg/m^3)*(V m^3) = 27.09
V = 27.09/13472 = 0.0020108 m^3

Answer: B. 0.002010812 m³

An object is placed 10 cm in front of a diverging mirror. What is the focal length of the mirror if the image appears 2 cm behin

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

the focal length of the mirror is : $f=-2.5\,\,cm$

Explanation:

Use the formula for the formation of image using a divergent mirror and recalling that the image (s') that this mirror formed is virtual, so it is entered as a negative number in the formula. Use the object position (s) as 10, the image position (s') as -2, and derive the value of the focal length:

$\frac{1}{s} +\frac{1}{s'}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{1}{10} +\frac{1}{-2}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{1}{10} -\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{10\,f}{10} -\frac{10\,f}{2}=\frac{10\,f}{f}\\f-5\,f=10\\-4\,f=10\\f=-2.5\,\,cm$
