Answer:

Radius of curvature of the mirror = 250 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Object distance from mirror = 250 cm (u=-250)

Object distance appears in mirror = 250 cm (v=-250)

Find:

Radius of curvature of the mirror

Computation:

Using mirror formula

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

1/f = 1/(-250) + 1/(-250)

f = (-250/2)

f = -125 cm or 125 cm

Radius of curvature of the mirror = 2(f)

Radius of curvature of the mirror = 2(125)

Radius of curvature of the mirror = 250 cm

If 2 grams of element X combine with 4 grams of element Y to form compound XY, how many grams of element Y would combine with 11
kykrilka [37]
This is sort of simple.  2 grams of X can combine with 4 grams of Y to form XY.  Y is 2 times the amount of grams in X.  So if there are 11 grams of X there are 22 grams of Y to form XY.  Or you could take 11 divided by 2 is 5.5 and then multiply 4 by 5.5 to get 22.  If this is wrong please tell me I would be very happy to know.

Which electromagnetic waves have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: Gamma rays

Explanation: The given waves belong to the electromagnetic spectrum which consists of different electromagnetic radiations arranged in terms of increasing wavelengths or decreasing frequencies.

E= h\times \nu

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

Thus E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}

E= energy

\nu= frequency

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength

Thus frequency and wavelength are inversely related. The waves having high energies ave high frequencies and have shorter wavelengths.

Thus gamma rays having highest energy have highest frequency and shortest wavelength.

A 35.4 kg girl is riding on the back of a 15.23 kg cart. the cart and the kid are both moving eastward at 4.25 m/s when she step
Grace [21]

Answer:

The final  velocity of the cart is  v_c = 7.02 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the girl is  m_g  = 35.4 \ kg

     The mass of the cart is  m_c  = 15.23 \ kg

      The speed of the cart and  kid(girl) is  v = 4.25 \ m/s

     The final velocity of  the girl is v_g  = 3.06 \  m/s

Let assume that velocity eastward is  positive and velocity westward is negative (Note that if we assume vise versa it wouldn't affect the answer )

   The total momentum of the system before she steps off the back of the cart

is mathematically evaluated as

        p__{T1}} = (m_g + m_c) * v

substituting values

        p__{T1}} = (35.4 + 15.23) * 4.25

        p__{T1}} =215.17 \  kg m /s

The total momentum after she steps off the back of the cart is mathematically evaluated as

        p__{T2}} = (m_g * v_g ) +(  m_c * v_c )

Where  v_c  is the final velocity of the cart

substituting values    

      p__{T2}} = (35.4 * 3.06 ) +(  15.23 * v_c )

       p__{T2}} = 108. 324 + 15.23  v_c

Now according to the law of conservation of momentum

       p__{T1}} =p__{T2}}

So  

       215.17 \  kg m /s =  108. 324 + 15.23  v_c

=>      v_c = 7.02 \  m/s

Since the value is positive it implies that the cart moved eastward

An observer stands on the side of the front of a stationary train. When the train starts moving with constant acceleration, the
Zarrin [17]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion description kinematic equations. We will proceed to analyze the general case by which the analysis is taken for the second car and the tenth. So we have to:

x = v_0 t \frac{1}{2} at^2

Where,

x= Displacement

v_0 = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t = time

Since there is no initial velocity, the same equation can be transformed in terms of length and time as:

L = \frac{1}{2} a t_1 ^2

For the second cart

2L \frac{1}{2} at_2^2

When the tenth car is aligned the length will be 9 times the initial therefore:

9L = \frac{1}{2} at_3^2

When the tenth car has passed the length will be 10 times the initial therefore:

10L = \frac{1}{2}at_4^2

The difference in time taken from the second car to pass it is 5 seconds, therefore:

t_2-t_1 = 5s

From the first equation replacing it in the second one we will have that the relationship of the two times is equivalent to:

\frac{1}{2} = (\frac{t_1}{t_2})^2

t_1 = \frac{t_2}{\sqrt{2}}

From the relationship when the car has passed and the time difference we will have to:

(t_2-\frac{t_2}{\sqrt{2}}) = 5

t_2 (\sqrt{2}-1) = 3\sqrt{2}

t_2= (\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1})^2

Replacing the value found in the equation given for the second car equation we have to:

\frac{L}{a} = \frac{1}{4} (\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1})^2

Finally we will have the time when the cars are aligned is

18 \frac{1}{4} (\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1})^2 = t_3^2

t_3 = 36.213s

The time when you have passed it would be:

20\frac{1}{4} (\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1})^2 = t_4^2

t_4 = 38.172

The difference between the two times would be:

t_4-t_3 = 38.172-36.213 \approx 2s

Therefore the correct answer is C.
