<u>Answer:</u> The focal length of makeup mirror is 0.3448 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

m = 1.5

u = -11.5 cm

To calculate the image distance, we the equation for mirror:

m=-\frac{v}{u}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.5=-(\frac{v}{-11.5})\\\\v=17.25cm

To calculate the focal length of mirror, we use the mirror formula, which is:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{17.25}+\frac{1}{-11.5}\\\\f=-34.48cm

Negative sign represents the position of focal length.

Converting the focal length into meters, we use the conversion factor:

1 m = 100 cm

So, 34.48 cm = 0.3448 m

Hence, the focal length of makeup mirror is 0.3448 m.

Maslowich

Answer:

16km/h

Explanation:

Vt=20km/h ---train speed

Vd=4km/h

Donas speed relative to ground is:

Vrd=Vt-Vd

Donas is moving in opposite direction of train .

Vrd=20km/h-4km/h

Vrd=16km/h

A set of charged plates 0.00262 m apart has an electric field of 155 N/C between them. What is the potential difference between
mylen [45]

Answer: The potential difference between the plates = 0.4061V

Explanation:

Given that the

Electric field strength E = 155 N/C

Distance d = 0.00262 m

From the definition of electric field strength, is the ratio of potential difference V to the distance between the plates. That is

E = V/d

Substitute E and d into the above formula

155 = V/0.00262

Cross multiply

V = 155 × 0.00262

V = 0.4061 V

The potential difference between the plates is 0.4061 V
