Answer:

Position = $\frac{60}{7}\ cm$ behind the mirror

Nature = Virtual and Erect

Size = $\frac{15}{7}\ cm$ : Diminished

Explanation:

Sign convention-Distance measured to the left of pole is negative and to the right of pole is positive.

Object distance = u = -20 cm

Focal length = f = Radius of curvature/2 = 30/2 = 15 cm

We have to use mirror formula to find image distance.

$\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}\\ \frac{1}{-20}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}\\ \frac{1}{v}=\frac{7}{60}\\v=\frac{60}{7}\ cm$

Since the image distance is positive, it is formed behind the mirror or a virtual image is formed.

Magnification = $=\frac{h_{image}}{h_{object}}=$ $-\frac{v}{u}=\frac{60}{7\times20}=\frac{3}{7}$

Height of the object = 5 cm

Height of the image = $5\times\frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{7}\ cm$

Since the height of the image is positive and less than the size of object,it is erect and diminished.

Two plastic projectiles have the same mass M and speed V when they hit a glass window pane at a right angle. The interaction bet

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

b. Projectiles A & B have the same likelihood of breaking the glass since they have the same initial momentum

c. Projectile A has the greater likelihood of breaking the glass since its momentum change is larger.

Explanation:

for option b, the two projectiles have the same initial mass and velocity, hence they posses the same amount of momentum that if sufficient enough could break the glass.

for option c, projectile A changes direction, maintaining the same speed v. Its momentum changes from from mv to -mv, since its speed changed direction.

the difference in momentum becomes

Δp = -mv - mv = -2mv

this is twice the initial momentum.

projectile B changes momentum from mv to 0

Δp = 0 - mv = -mv.

this is half of the final momentum of projectile A.

Also we know that force is proportional to to the rate of change of momentum, which is greater in projectile A, therefore projectile A impacts more force on the glass. Projectile A therefore has the greater likelihood of breaking the glass since its momentum change is larger.

A child is riding a merry-go-round, which has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an angular acceleration of 0.745

Elena L [17]

w = instantaneous angular speed = 1.25 rad/s

r = radius = 4.65 m

α = angular acceleration = 0.745 rad/s²

centripetal acceleration is given as

$a_{c}$ = rw²

$a_{c}$ = (4.65 ) (1.25)² = 7.27 m/s²

tangential acceleration is given as

$a_{t}$ = rα

$a_{t}$ =4.65 x 0.745 = 3.46 m/s²

angle is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{a_{c}}{a_{t}})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{7.27}{3.46})$

$\theta$ = 64.5 deg

Stars originate as large bodies of slowly rotating gas.Because of gravity, these clumps of gas slowly decrease in size.The angul

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

E.) conservation of angular momentum

Explanation:

The angular momentum is defined as:

$L=r$ x $mv$

where $r$ is the radius of the star, $m$ is the mass and $v$ the angular velocity.

and angular momentum is an amount that is conserved, so the angular momentum before the star is compressed must be equal to the angular momentum after the star was compressed:

$r_{1}$ x $mv_{1}=r_{2}$ x $mv_{2}$

the second radius is smaller than the first radius, since the star shrinked, the second angular velocity must be greater that the first.

In other words, the angular velicity increases as the star shrinks because of the conservation of angular momentum.
