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 physics book is thrown horizontally at a velocity of 5.0 m/s from the top of a cliff 78.4 m high. How long does the book take

xenn [34]

The book's vertical position in the air is

$y=78.4\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2$

where $g=9.80\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$ . It reaches the ground when $y=0$ , at a time $t$ such that

$0=78.4\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2\implies t=4.00\,\mathrm s$

So it takes the book 4 seconds to reach the bottom. The given initial velocity is irrelevant since it only has a horizontal component; vertically, the book is starting from rest.

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on earth $g_{E}$ is given by

$g_{E} = G\dfrac{M_{E}}{R_{E}^{2}}$

where $G$ = universal gravitational constant

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:M_{R}$ = mass of the earth

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:R_{E}$ = radius of the earth

Planet Krypton has twice the mass of earth and 3 times the radius so its acceleration due to gravity $g_{K}$ is

$g_{K} = G\dfrac{M_{K}}{R_{K}^{2}}$

$\:\:\:\:\:\: = G\dfrac{(2M_{E})}{(3R_{E})^{2}}$

$\:\:\:\:\;\:= (\dfrac{2}{9})G\dfrac{M_{E}}{R_{E}^{2}}$

$g_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:g_{E}$

If we multiply both sides by Superman's mass, we get his weights on both planets:

$mg_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:(mg_{E})$

$W_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:W_{E} = (\dfrac{2}{9})(900\:N)= 200\:N$

If a bus has a mass of 1,021 kg, how much does the bus weigh?

lisov135 [29]

$m=1 \ 021 \ kg \\ g=10 \ m/s^2 \\ \boxed{W-?} \\ \bold{Solving:} \\ \boxed{W=m \cdot g} \\ W=1 \ 021 \ kg \cdot 10 \ m/s^2 \\ \Rightarrow \boxed{W=10 \ 210 \ N}$
