<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.

You are given a vector in the xy plane that has a magnitude of 84.0 units and a y-component of -67.0 units.
melomori [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)Magnitude = \sqrt{(x1-y2)^{2}  + (x1-x2)^{2} }

84=\sqrt{(0- (-67))^{2}  + (x-0)^{2} }

x= +50.67 or -50.67 units

b) We are given that the resultant is entirely in the -ve x direction which means that the y-component of the resultant is 0; It means that the y-component of the next vector = -ve of the y component of the initial vector i.e 67.

To make the magnitude 80 units in the negative x direction where the y component is 0, the x component must be -130.67(-50.67 - 80) as the x component is + 50.67units.

Magnitude = \sqrt{(0- (67))^{2}  + (-130.67)^{2} } = 146.85 units

c) The direction vector = 67/146.85 i  - 130.67/146.85 j where i corresponds to the vector in y direction and j corresponds to the vector in x direction. Or this vector is at an angle of 180 - Tan^{-1}(67/130.67)degrees i.e 152.85 degrees from the +ve x-axis.

6. A 0.09 kg arrow hits a target at 22 m/s and penetrates 4 cm before stopping.
tatyana61 [14]
A ) v = v o - a t
0 = 22 - a · t
a · t = 22
d = v o · t - a t²/2
0.04 = 22 t - 22 t / 2
0.04 = 11 t
t = 0.04 : 11 = 0.003636 s
a = 22 / t
a = 6050 m/s²
F = m · a = 0.09 kg · 6050 m/s²
F ( target→arrow) = - 544.5 N
b ) F ( arrow→target ) = 544.5 N
c )  If the speed was doubled:  v = 44 m/s;
F = a m
a = 6050 m/s²
a · t = 44
t = 6050 : 0.04
t = 0.007272 s
d = 44 t - 44 t/2 = 22 t
d = 22 · 0.007272
d = 0.16 m = 16 cm

A mouse is running along the floor in a straight line at 1.3 m/s. A cat runs after it and, perfectly judging the distance d to t
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Option b

Solution:

As per the question:

Speed of the mouse, v = 1.3 m/s

Speed of the cat, v' = 2.5 m/s

Angle, \theta = 38^{\circ}

Now,

To calculate the distance between the mouse and the cat:

The distance that the cat moved is given by:

x = v'cos\theta t

x = 2.5cos38^{\circ}\times t = 1.97t

The position of the cat and the mouse can be given by:

x = x' + vt

1.97t = x' + 1.3t

x' = 0.67 t           (1)

The initial speed of the cat ahead of the mouse:

u = v'sin\theta = 2.5sin38^{\circ} = 1.539\ m/s

When the time is 0.5t, the speed of the cat is 0, thus:

0 = u - 0.5tg

t = \frac{1.539}{0.5\times 9.8} = 0.314\ s

Substituting the value of t in eqn (1):

x' = 0.67(0.314) = 0.210 m

Thus the distance comes out to be 0.210 m
