An object of mass 100 kg is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. At time t = 0, a horizontal force of 10 N is

applied to the object for 1 s and then removed. Which of the following is true of the object at time t = 2s if it is still on the surface?
(A) It is at the same position it had at t 0, since a force of 10 N is not large enough to move such a massive object.
(B) It is moving with constant nonzero acceleration.
(C) It is moving with decreasing acceleration.
(D) It is moving at a constant speed
(E) It has come to rest some distance away from the position it had att 0.

Answer:

(D) It is moving at a constant speed

Explanation:

Before t = 1s. Due to the force, albeit small, acting on the object, since there's no static friction stopping the object from moving, this mass object would have a constant acceleration and it's velocity would be increasing.

According to Newton's 1st law, an object will stay at a constant speed if the net force acting on it is 0. After t = 1s, horizontally speaking there's no other force exerting on the mass object. There is no friction force at play here as the surface is frictionless.

Therefore the correct statement is (D) It is moving at a constant speed

If you place 48 cm object 15 m in front of a convex mirror of focal length 5 m, what is the magnification of the image?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

m = 0.25

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance, u = -15cm

Height of the object, h = 48

Focal length, f = cm

We need to find the magnification of the image.

Let v is the image distance. Using mirror's equation.

\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{(-15)}\\\\=3.75\ cm

Magnification,

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}\\\\=\dfrac{-3.75}{-15}\\\\=0.25

Hence, the magnification of the image is 0.25.
