Answer:

f =-20 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnification of a spherical mirror, m = -1

The image distance, v = 40 cm (for negative magnification)

The magnification of a concave mirror is negative. The mirror showing -1 magnification is a concave mirror.

Let f be the focal length of the mirror. We know that,

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}\\\\-1=\dfrac{-v}{u}\\\\v=u

Object distance, u = -40 cm

Using mirror's formula i.e.

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}\\\\f=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{-40}+\dfrac{1}{-40}}\\\\f=-20\ cm

So, the focal length of the mirror is 20 cm.

Most towns use a water tower to store water and provide pressure in the pipes that deliver water to customers. The figure below
MatroZZZ [7]

The effective height of the water for Smith's house will be 24.61m.

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

Based on the information given, the volume of the water in sphere will be:

= 4/3πr³ = (5.80 × 10^5)/1000

= 4.18r³ = 580

r³ = 138.7

r = 5.18m

The effective height of the water will be:

= 18.0 + 2(5.18)

= 28.36

The gauge pressure at Faucet of Jones house will be:

= pgh

= 1000(9.8)(28.36)

= 277.9kPa

The effective height of the water for Smith's house will be:

= 18.0 + 2(5.18) - 3.75

= 24.61m

The gauge pressure at Faucet of Jones house will be:

= 1000 × 9.8 × 24.61

= 241.2kPa

Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all
Paha777 [63]
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract


Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.

A 57-kg woman holds a 6-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.15g. Determi
Temka [501]

Answer:

R = 710.7N

L = 67.689 N

During gravity fall L = R = 0 N

Explanation:

So the acceleration that the elevator is acting on the woman (and the package) in order to result in a net acceleration of 0.15g is

g + 0.15g = 1.15g

The force R that the elevator exerts on her feet would be product of acceleration and total mass (Newton's 2nd law):

a(m + M) = 1.15g(57 + 6) = 1.15*9.81*63 = 710.7N

The force L that she exerts on the package would be:

am = 1.15g *6 = 1.15*9.81*6 = 67.689N

When the system is falling, all have a net acceleration of g. So the acceleration that the elevator exerts on the woman (and the package) is 0, and so are the forces L and R.
