You place a light bulb 8 cm in front of a concave mirror. You then move a sheet of paper back and forth in front of the mirror.

The image of the light bulb focuses on the paper when the paper is 12 cm in front of the mirror. What is the focal length of the mirror? Please show work too.

sorry - late reply...just stumbled across tis...hope u can still use it :)


By the mirror equation: 1/di + 1/do = 1/f

<span>
</span>

<span>where di = distance to image = +12cm (+ for real image)</span>


and do = distance to object = +8cm


Substitute and solve for f, the focal length

<span><span>
1/12 + 1/8 = 1/f
</span><span>
1/f = (8 + 12) / 12 * 8 = 20/96
</span><span>
so f = 96/20 = 4.8 cm</span>
</span>

fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25m²

Explanation:

We know that the summation of forces in the vertical direction is zero

So

PA-mg=0

A=mg/p

So

Substituting

A= 75* 9.8/3*10^-3

=0.25m² which is the total shoe area

A mass weighing pounds is attached to a spring whose constant is lb/ft. The medium offers a damping force that is numerically eq
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

hello your question has some missing values attached below is the complete question with the missing values

answer :

a) 0.083 secs

b) 0.33 secs

c)  3e^-4/3

Explanation:

Given that

g = 32 ft/s^2 ,  spring constant ( k ) = 2 Ib/ft

initial displacement = 1 ft above equilibrium

mass = weight / g = 4/32 = 1/8

damping force = instanteous velocity  hence  β = 1

a<u>)Calculate the time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position.</u>

time mass passes through equilibrium = 1/12 seconds = 0.083

<u>b) Calculate the time at which the mass attains its extreme displacement </u>

time when mass attains extreme displacement = 1/3 seconds = 0.33 secs

<u>c) What is the position of the mass at this instant</u>

position = 3e^-4/3

attached below is the detailed solution to the given problem
