Answer:

Focal length, f = 10 cm

Explanation:

We have,

A concave mirror forms a real image at 15.0 cm from the mirror surface along the principal axis, it means that the image distance is 15 cm

The object is placed at a distance of 30 cm, u = -30 cm

It is required to find the focal length of the mirror. Let it is f. Using mirror's formula to find it:

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\\dfrac{1}{15}-\dfrac{1}{(-30)}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\f=10\ cm$

So, the focal length of the mirror is 10 cm.

A fan blade, initially at rest, rotates with a constant acceleration of 0.029 rad/s2. What is the time interval required for it

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The time interval is $t = 21.30 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The constant acceleration is $\alpha = 0.029 \ rad / s^2$

The displacement is $\theta = 6.58 \ rad$

According to the second equation of motion we have that

$\theta = w_i* t + \frac{1}{2} * \alpha t^2$

given that the blade started from rest

$w_i$ which is the initial angular velocity is 0

So

$\theta = 0 + \frac{1}{2} * \alpha t^2$

=> $t = \sqrt{ \frac{2 * \theta }{\alpha } }$

substituting values

=> $t = \sqrt{ \frac{2 * 6.58 }{0.029 } }$

=> $t = 21.30 \ s$

Why does sugar dissolves easily in water but sand doesn’t

GarryVolchara [31]

Table sugar dissolves in water because when a sucrose molecule breaks from the sugar crystal, it is immediately surrounded by water molecules. The sucrose has hydroxyl groups that have a slight negative charge. ... Sand can't dissolve in waterbecause the 'spaces' in between the water particles. :)

Two long straight parallel wires separated by a distance of 20 cm carry currents of 30 A and 40 A in opposite directions. What i

irakobra [83]

Answer:

$B_{net} = 3.3 \times 10^{-5} T$

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to straight long wire is always perpendicular to the line joining the wire and the point

it is given by the equation

$B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{2\pi r}$

now the magnetic field due to 30 A current is given as

$B_1 = \frac{(2\times 10^{-7})(30)}{0.15}$

$B_1 = 4\times 10^{-5} T$

Now magnetic field due to other wire having current 40 A is given as

$B_2 = \frac{(2 \times 10^{-7})(40)}{0.25}$

$B_2 = 3.2 \times 10^{-5} T$

now net field along Y direction is given as

$B_y = B_2cos37$

$B_y = 2.56 \times 10^{-5} T$

now for X direction magnetic field we know

$B_x = B_1 - B_2sin37$

$B_x = (4\times 10^{-5}) - (3.2 \times 10^{-5}sin37)$

$B_x = 2.07 \times 10^{-5} T$

Now net magnetic field is given as

$B_{net} = \sqrt{B_x^2 + B_y^2}$

$B_{net} = \sqrt{2.56^2 + 2.07^2} \times 10^{-5} T$

$B_{net} = 3.3 \times 10^{-5} T$
