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

Physics
1 answer:
Gekata [30.6K]2 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

Name three situations in which force is created. describe the cause of the force in each situation
Darina [25.2K]
One situation in which force is created is when an object is moving and a force is created to stop that movement. Second situation is when an object is moving circularly and a force is created to move it towards the middle of the circle. The third situation is when a force is created that goes in the same direction as an object that is in movement.

I need the solution to this
posledela

Answer:

He could jump 2.6 meters high.

Explanation:

Jumping a height of 1.3m requires a certain initial velocity v_0. It turns out that this scenario can be turned into an equivalent: if a person is dropped from a height of 1.3m in free fall, his velocity right before landing on the ground will be v_0. To answer this equivalent question, we use the kinematic equation:

v_0 = \sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 1.3m}=5.0\frac{m}{s}

With this result, we turn back to the original question on Earth: the person needs an initial velocity of 5 m/s to jump 1.3m high, on the Earth.

Now let's go to the other planet. It's smaller, half the radius, and its meadows are distinctly greener. Since its density is the same as one of the Earth, only its radius is half, we can argue that the gravitational acceleration g will be <em>half</em> of that of the Earth (you can verify this is true by writing down the Newton's formula for gravity, use volume of the sphere times density instead of the mass of the Earth, then see what happens to g when halving the radius). So, the question now becomes: from which height should the person be dropped in free fall so that his landing speed is 5 m/s ? Again, the kinematic equation comes in handy:

v_0^2 = 2g_{1/2}h\implies \\h = \frac{v_0^2}{2g_{1/2}}=\frac{25\frac{m^2}{s^2}}{2\cdot 4.9\frac{m}{s^2}}=2.6m

This results tells you, that on the planet X, which just half the radius of the Earth, a person will jump up to the height of 2.6 meters with same effort as on the Earth. This is exactly twice the height he jumps on Earth. It now all makes sense.

A guitarist finds that the pitch of one of her strings is slightly flat—the frequency is a bit too low. Should she increase or d
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The guitarist should increase the tension of the string.

Explanation:

The frequency of a vibrating string is determined by fn=(n/(2L))√T/μ. So if the tension in the string increased, the rate at which it vibrates (the frequency) will also increase.

Therefore it is advisable that she increase the tension of the string.

I hope it helps, please give brainliest if it does
