lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A) d_o = 20.7 cm

B) h_i = 1.014 m

Explanation:

A) To solve this, we will use the lens equation formula;

1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i

Where;

f is focal Length = 20 cm = 0.2

d_o is object distance

d_i is image distance = 6m

1/0.2 = 1/d_o + 1/6

1/d_o = 1/0.2 - 1/6

1/d_o = 4.8333

d_o = 1/4.8333

d_o = 0.207 m

d_o = 20.7 cm

B) to solve this, we will use the magnification equation;

M = h_i/h_o = d_i/d_o

Where;

h_o = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

d_i = 6 m

d_o = 20.7 cm = 0.207 m

Thus;

h_i = (6/0.207) × 0.035

h_i = 1.014 m

If you place a paper clip very close to a magnet, the paper clip
Alik [6]
The answer is “D. all of the above”!

Metal from the paper clip is attracted to the magnet, so it will naturally move toward and stick to the magnet. This will cause the paper clip to temporarily become a magnet for other metals. I hope this helped!

Sort the forces as producing a torque of positive, negative, or zero magnitude about the rotational axis identified in part
Fantom [35]

a) Angular acceleration: 17.0 rad/s^2

b) Weight: conterclockwise torque, reaction force: zero torque

Explanation:

a)

In this problem, you are holding the pencil at its end: this means that the pencil will rotate about this point.

The only force producing a torque on the pencil is the weight of the pencil, of magnitude

W=mg

where m is the mass of the pencil and g the acceleration of gravity.

However, when the pencil is rotating around its end, only the component of the weight tangential to its circular trajectory will cause an angular acceleration. This component of the weight is:

W_p =mg sin \theta

where \theta is the angle of the rod with respect to the vertical.

The weight act at the center of mass of the pencil, which is located at the middle of the pencil. So the torque produced is

\tau = W_p \frac{L}{2}=mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta

where L is the length of the pencil.

The relationship between torque and angular acceleration \alpha is

\tau = I \alpha (1)

where

I=\frac{1}{3}mL^2

is the moment of inertia of the pencil with respect to its end.

Substituting into (1) and solving for \alpha, we find:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{mg\frac{L}{2}sin \theta}{\frac{1}{3}mL^2}=\frac{3 g sin \theta}{2L}

And assuming that the length of the pencil is L = 15 cm = 0.15 m, the angular acceleration when \theta=10^{\circ} is

\alpha = \frac{3(9.8)(sin 10^{\circ})}{2(0.15)}=17.0 rad/s^2

b)

There are only two forces acting on the pencil here:

- The weight of the pencil, of magnitude mg

- The normal reaction of the hand on the pencil, R

The torque exerted by each force is given by

\tau = Fd

where F is the magnitude of the force and d the distance between the force and the pivot point.

For the weight, we saw in part a) that the torque is

\tau =mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta

For the reaction force, the torque is zero: this is because the reaction force is applied exctly at the pivot point, so d = 0, and therefore the torque is zero.

Therefore:

- Weight: counterclockwise torque (I have assumed that the pencil is held at its right end)

- Reaction force: zero torque

Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.320 mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

W = 10.28\ mm

Explanation:

Given,

Red light wavelength = 633 nm

width of slit = 0.320 mm

distance,d = 2.60 m

Condition of first maximum

a sin \theta_1 = m\lambda

\theta_1 =sin^{-1}(\dfrac{m\lambda}{a})

m = 1

\theta_1 =sin^{-1}(\dfrac{633\times 10^{-9}}{0.32\times 10^{-3}})

\theta_1 = 0.1133^\circ

Width of the first minima

y_1 = L tan \theta_1

y_1 = 2.60\times tan( 0.11331)

y_1 = 5.14 \ mm

Now, width of the central region

W = 2 y_1

W = 2\times 5.14

W = 10.28\ mm

Waldo gets stopped by the police, and the police officer tells Waldo that she caught him on radar doing 50 miles per hour in a 4
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

He calculated his average speed.

Explanation:

Waldo calculated an average of his speed in 2 hours rather than his speed whilst driving which means instead of doing 50/1 hour = 50 mph, he did 50/2hours which is how he got 25 mph. Hope this helps!
