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?

Physics
1 answer:
Arisa [49]3 years ago
7 0

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.

A car starts from rest and after 20 seconds it's velocity becomes 108km find the acceleration of the car
andre [41]

Answer:

1.5 km/s²

Explanation:

Given that:

a car starts from rest; it means the initial velocity (u) = 0 km/hr = 0 m/s

after time (t) = 20 seconds

the final velocity = 108 km/hr = 30 m/s

The acceleration (a) of the car can be determined by using the formula:

a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

a = \dfrac{30\  m/s -0 \ m/s}{20 \ s}

a = \dfrac{30 \  m/s}{20 \ s}

a = 1.5 km/s²

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

A. carbon and boron

Explanation:

Carbon and boron is not an alloy.

An allow forms between metals and metals using their huge electron could.

Carbon is a non-metal, boron is a also a non-metal

Two non-metals combining together does not make an alloy.

Iron, nickel, aluminum  are all metals.

When air resistance is ignored, _____ of the projectile affect(s) the range and maximum height of the projectile.
FromTheMoon [43]

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.

Projectile is a missile designed to be fired from a rocket or gun.

A projectile is the object that is propelled by the application of an external force and then moves freely under the influence of gravity and air resistance.

The range is defined as the distance between the launch point and the point where the projectile hits the ground.

The height from the ground at the top most position of projectile is referred to as maximum height.

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.

Using your best estimates, how many times would you have to slap a 1 kg rotisserie chicken in order to cook it? You can assume t
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

n= 16021.03 slaps

Explanation:

Using law of Energy conservation

E_{thermal}= Kinetic energy of hand

⇒mc\Delta T= n\frac{1}{2}m_hv_h^2

m_h= mass of the hand = 0.4 kg

v_h= velocity of the hand = 10 m/s

n= number of slaps

c= 4180 J/Kg °C

m= mass of chicken = 1 kg

Assuming all the energy of hand goes into chicken

Given Ti=0°C and T_f= 170 F= 76.66°C

Now putting the values in above equation to get n

1\times4180(76.66)= n\frac{1}{2}0.4\times10^2

n= 16021.03 slaps
