image distance=-40cm=v
Object distance=u=?
Magnification=m=3

We know

$\boxed{\sf m=-\dfrac{v}{u}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3=-\dfrac{-40}{u}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3=\dfrac{40}{u}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto u=\dfrac{40}{3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto u=13.3cm$

Katarina [22]

One of the useful forns of the formula for electrical power is: Power = (voltage squared) / (resistance). Knowing that power is proportional to (voltage squared), we can see that if the voltage is reduced to 1/2, the power is reduced to 1/4 of its original value. The 220volt/60watt appliance, when operated on 110 volts, dissipates 60/4 = 15 watts.

A car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 1.90 m/s2

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Approximately $0.608$ (assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm N\cdot kg^{-1}$ .)

Explanation:

The question provided very little information about this motion. Therefore, replace these quantities with letters. These unknown quantities should not appear in the conclusion if this question is actually solvable.

Let $m$ represent the mass of this car.
Let $r$ represent the radius of the circular track.

This answer will approach this question in two steps:

Step one: determine the centripetal force when the car is about to skid.
Step two: calculate the coefficient of static friction.

For simplicity, let $a_{T}$ represent the tangential acceleration ( $1.90\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ ) of this car.

<h3>Centripetal Force when the car is about to skid</h3>

The question gave no information about the distance that the car has travelled before it skidded. However, information about the angular displacement is indeed available: the car travelled (without skidding) one-quarter of a circle, which corresponds to $90^\circ$ or $\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}$ radians.

The angular acceleration of this car can be found as $\displaystyle \alpha = \frac{a_{T}}{r}$ . ( $a_T$ is the tangential acceleration of the car, and $r$ is the radius of this circular track.)

Consider the SUVAT equation that relates initial and final (tangential) velocity ( $u$ and $v$ ) to (tangential) acceleration $a_{T}$ and displacement $x$ :

$v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a_{T}\cdot x$ .

The idea is to solve for the final angular velocity using the angular analogy of that equation:

$\left(\omega(\text{final})\right)^2 - \left(\omega(\text{initial})\right)^2 = 2\, \alpha\, \theta$ .

In this equation, $\theta$ represents angular displacement. For this motion in particular:

$\omega(\text{initial}) = 0$ since the car was initially not moving.
$\theta = \displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}$ since the car travelled one-quarter of the circle.

Solve this equation for $\omega(\text{final})$ in terms of $a_T$ and $r$ :

$\begin{aligned}\omega(\text{final}) &= \sqrt{2\cdot \frac{a_T}{r} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{\pi\, a_T}{r}}\end{aligned}$ .

Let $m$ represent the mass of this car. The centripetal force at this moment would be:

$\begin{aligned}F_C &= m\, \omega^2\, r \\ &=m\cdot \left(\frac{\pi\, a_T}{r}\right)\cdot r = \pi\, m\, a_T\end{aligned}$ .

<h3>Coefficient of static friction between the car and the track</h3>

Since the track is flat (not banked,) the only force on the car in the horizontal direction would be the static friction between the tires and the track. Also, the size of the normal force on the car should be equal to its weight, $m\, g$ .

Note that even if the size of the normal force does not change, the size of the static friction between the surfaces can vary. However, when the car is just about to skid, the centripetal force at that very moment should be equal to the maximum static friction between these surfaces. It is the largest-possible static friction that depends on the coefficient of static friction.

Let $\mu_s$ denote the coefficient of static friction. The size of the largest-possible static friction between the car and the track would be:

$F(\text{static, max}) = \mu_s\, N = \mu_s\, m\, g$ .

The size of this force should be equal to that of the centripetal force when the car is about to skid:

$\mu_s\, m\, g = \pi\, m\, a_{T}$ .

Solve this equation for $\mu_s$ :

$\mu_s = \displaystyle \frac{\pi\, a_T}{g}$ .

Indeed, the expression for $\mu_s$ does not include any unknown letter. Let $g = 9.81\; \rm N\cdot kg^{-1}$ . Evaluate this expression for $a_T = 1.90\;\rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ :

$\mu_s = \displaystyle \frac{\pi\, a_T}{g} \approx 0.608$ .

(Three significant figures.)

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer : Use a magnet to pull out the iron filings as they are attracted to a magnet

Explanation : we use the magnet to separate the sand from the iron filing. Because the magnet has an attraction power.

We can say that we can use the magnet to attract the iron filings out of the mixture because iron is magnetic solid, but sand will not attract because sand is not magnetic solid.

So, we use a magnet to pull out the iron filings as they are attracted to a magnet.

Why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed? why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed? there is a force acting opposite to the direction of the motion of the satellite. there is no component of force acting along the direction of motion of the satellite. the net force acting on the satellite is zero. the gravitational force acting on the satellite is balanced by the centrifugal force acting on the satellite?
