What is the magnification when an object is placed at 2f from the pole of the convex mirror? 

Physics
1 answer:
Gekata [30.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Linear magnification = 1/3

Explanation:

Given:

Convex mirror

Object's distance from pole = 2f

Find:

Linear magnification

Computation:

Object distance, u = −2f

So,

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

1/v + 1/(-2f) = 1/f

1/v = 1/f + 1/2f

BY taking LCM

1/v = 3 / 2f

v = 2f / 3

Magnification, M = -v / u

So,

Magnification, M = (2f / 3) / 2f

Magnification, M = 2f / 6f

Magnification, M = 2 / 6

Linear magnification = 1/3

Find the average velocity of the car during the time last three second interval. Answer in units of m/s.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

<u>Average Velocity:</u>

When a body covers some displacement moving from point A to B, in a given time,t. Then dividing the total distance covered by the time taken to complete the displacement is called as the average velocity of that car.

We can calculate the average velocity of car by subtracting the initial displacement of a body,s₁ from  the final displacement position of the body, s₂. And then dividing by the initial time,t₁ been subtracted from the final time,t₂.

  • Δv=x₂-x₁/t₂-t₁,

We will get the required results, now if we want to obtain the results in the final three seconds then, we can have the following explanation to that as given.

Explanation:

Lets say, that we have the car moving for 10 seconds and then it stops at the eleventh second of the trip on final position, of the displacement. Then we divide the whole trips into small segments, as we will have the different velocity at each interval but, the velocity is unknown at the last 3 seconds is unknown=?.  

  • Total time taken, Δt= 11 seconds,
  • Then lets say the velocity at the 8th second is , v=25 m/s,then
  • Δv=x₂-(25)/11-0,⇒Δv=x₂-25/11,

As an object increases its speed, its kinetic energy
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion--so the overall energy of that object would increase. Kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of its speed.

A cell membrane has a thickness of about 7 nm. How many cell membranes would it take to make a stack 2.3 in high?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

There are 8345714 cell membranes.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The thickness of a cell membrane is 7 nm

We need to find the number of cell membranes would it take to make a stack 2.3 inches high.

Firstly, the units must be same i.e. converting 2.3 inches to m

1 inch = 0.0254 m

2.3 inches = 0.05842 m

Let there are n number of cell membranes. So,

n=\dfrac{\text{stack height}}{\text{1 membrane thickness}}\\\\n=\dfrac{0.05842}{7\times 10^{-9}}\\\\n=8345714.28

or

n = 8345714 cell membranes

Suppose a boat moves at 12.0m/s relative to the water. If the boat is in a river with the current directed east of 2.50m/s, what
inessss [21]

Answer:

(a) 14.5 m/s

(b) 9.5 m/s

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat in the still water (i.e relative to ground) is v_0.

Given that the speed of the boat relative to water, v_r=12.0 m/s.

Speed of the water current of the river relative to the ground, u_0=2.50 m/s towards east.

(a) When the boat is heading toward the east (in the same direction of the current of the river)

The relative velocity, v_r, of the boat with respect to ground is

v_r=v_0-u_0

\Rightarrow 12=v_0-2.5

\Rightarrow v_0=12+2.5=14.5 m/s

Hence, the boat's speed relative to the ground when it is heading east, with the current, is 14.5 m/s.

(b) When the boat is heading toward the west (in the opposite direction of the current of the river)

The relative velocity, v_r, of the boat with respect to ground is

v_r=v_0-(-u_0)

\Rightarrow 12=v_0+2.5

\Rightarrow v_0=12-2.5=9.5 m/s

Hence, the boat's speed relative to the ground when it is heading west, against the current, is 9.5 m/s.
