Which of the following represents an upright image? A. -do B. +m C. -m D. +do

Tom [10]

Answer:

B. +m

Explanation:

The magnification of an image is defined as the ratio between the size of the image and of the object:

$m = \frac{y'}{y}$

where we have

y' = size of the image

y = size of the object

There are two possible situations:

- When m is positive, y' has same sign as y: this means that the image image is upright

- When m is negative, y' has opposite sign to y: this means that the image is upside down

Therefore, the correct option representing an upright image is

B. +m

A two slit pattern is viewed on a screen 1.00m from the slits if the two third-order minima are 22.0 cm apart what is the width

Bingel [31]

Answer:

4.4 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of the screen from the slit, D = 1 m

Distance between two third order interference minimas, x = 22 cm

Let's say, minima occurs at:

$x_n = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \frac{wL}{d}$

We have:

$2x_2 = 2(2 + \frac{1}{2}) * \frac{w*22}{d}$

Calculating further for the width of the central bright fringe, we have:

$\frac{w}{d} = \frac{22}{5}$

= 4.4 cm

Note: w in representswavelength

A car travels at a steady 40.0 m/s around a horizontal curve of radius 200 m. What is the minimumcoefficient of static friction

zhenek [66]

Answer:

c. 0.816

Explanation:

Let the mass of car be 'm' and coefficient of static friction be 'μ'.

Given:

Speed of the car (v) = 40.0 m/s

Radius of the curve (R) = 200 m

As the car is making a circular turn, the force acting on it is centripetal force which is given as:

Centripetal force is, $F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}$

The frictional force is given as:

Friction = Normal force × Coefficient of static friction

$f=\mu N$

As there is no vertical motion, therefore, $N=mg$ . So,

$f=\mu mg$

Now, the centripetal force is provided by the frictional force. Therefore,

Frictional force = Centripetal force

$f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu=\frac{v^2}{Rg}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

$\mu = \frac{(40\ m/s)^2}{200\ m\times 9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\\mu=\frac{1600\ m^2/s^2}{1960\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.816$

Therefore, option (c) is correct.

Number 3 How to do?

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1 m/s

Explanation:

Impulse = Change in momentum

Force × Time = Mass(Final velocity) - Mass(Initial Velocity)

(1.0)(1.0) = (1.0)(Final Velocity) - (1.0)(0)

Final velocity = 1 m/s

Explain the significance behind the universe having a flat geometry.

nirvana33 [79]

The meaning of the Big Bang has been very often misunderstood. It is thought that something exploded somewhere and then the exploded part expanded to where we are currently. I hope this did help If not I`m so sorry.
