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

Arisa [49]3 years ago

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 driving at a constant speed of 64 mi/h travels 68 miles. How many hours did this take?
babymother [125]
64 miles/hour
Therefore 1/64 hours/mile
68 miles * 1/64 hours/mile (notice how miles cancels out)
Therefore the answer is 68/64 hours = 1.0625 hours = 1 hour 3min and 45sec.

An object with total mass mtotal = 14.6 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m1 = 4.9 k
zheka24 [161]

Answer: 1) 0. 2) 4.2 Kg. 3) 15.4 m/s 4) 12.9 m/s 5) 0. 6) 3.62 KJ.

Explanation:

1) Assuming that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved. As initially the total mass was at rest, so initial momentum is zero, final momentum of all the system must be 0 also.

2) After the explosion, as mass must be conserved also, the sum of the masses of the three pieces must be equal to the original total mass, so we can write the following:

m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = M = 14.6 Kg = 4.9 Kg + 5.5 Kg + m₃

Solving for m₃, we have:

m₃ = 14.6 Kg - 4.9 Kg -5.5 Kg = 4.2 Kg.

3) and 4)

As momentum is a vector, if it is magnitude must be 0, this means that all his components must be 0 too.

So, we can write two equations, one for the x-component, and other for the y-component, as follows:

pₓ = m₁. v₁ₓ + m₂.v₂ₓ + m₃.v₃ₓ = 0

py = m₁.v₁y + m₂. v₂y + m₃. v₃y =0

Replacing by the values, and solving for v₃ₓ and v₃y, we get:

v₃ₓ = 15.4 m/s

v₃y = 12.9 m/s

v = √(15.4)²+(12.9)² = 20.1 m/s

5) As the center of mass must move as if all the mass were concentrated in this point, and we know that the total momentum must be 0, this tells us that the magnitude of the velocity of the center of mass must be 0 too.

6) As initial kinetic energy is 0, as  the mass was at rest, the increase in the kinetic energy is obtained simply adding the kinetic energy of every piece of mass gained after explosion, as follows:

K = K₁ + K₂ + K₃ = 1/2 (m₁ . v₁² + m₂.v₂² + m₃.v₃²)

Replacing by the values, we get:

K= 3.62 KJ
