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

A pencil rolls horizontally of a 1 meter high desk and lands .25 meters from the base of the desk. How fast was the pencil rolli
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion (also called parabolic motion), where the main equations are as follows:

x=V_{o} cos\theta t (1)

y=y_{o}+Vo sin \theta t + \frac{g}{2}t^{2} (2)

Where:

x=0.25 m is the horizontal displacement of the pencil

V_{o} is the pencil's initial velocity

\theta=0\° since we are told the pencil rolls <u>horizontally</u> before falling

t is the time since the pencil falls until it hits the ground

y_{o}=1 m  is the initial height of the pencil

y=0  is the final height of the pencil (when it finally hits the ground)

g=-9.8m/s^{2}  is the acceleration due gravity, always acting vertically downwards

Begining with (1):

x=V_{o} cos(0\°) t (3)

x=V_{o}t (4)

Finding t from (2):

0=1 m+ \frac{-9.8m/s^{2}}{2}t^{2} (5)

t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}} (6)

Substituting (6) in (4):

x=V_{o}\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}} (7)

Isolating V_{o}:

V_{o}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}} (8)

V_{o}=\frac{0.25 m}{\sqrt{\frac{-2(1 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}} (9)

Finally:

V_{o}=0.55 m/s

Two transverse waves travel along the same taut string inopposite directions. the waves are described by following equations use
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: y'=2Asin(kx)cos(wt)

Explanation:

Let y1=A sin (kx + wt) be the first wave

y2=A sin (kx - wt) be the second wave in the opposite direction (which we showed by putting a negative sign between the terms kx and wt)

Please do note that both wave have the same attributes (that's Amplitude, wave number and angular frequency) because they are formed on the same medium by the same source just that their directions are opposite.

By super imposing these 2 waves, we have a resulting singular wave representing both wave (law of superimposition) with a resulting value of vertical displacement y'.

Thus y' = y1 + y2.

Let us do the math.

y'=A sin (kx + wt) + A sin (kx - wt)

By factoring A out, we have that

y' = A [ sin (kx + wt) + sin (kx - wt)]

For simplicity let us use the substitution

Let (kx + wt) = a and (kx - wt) =b

Hence we have that

y' = A [sin a + sin b].

From trigonometric ratio

sin a + sin b = 2sin[(a+b)/2] * cos [(a - b)/2]

By recalling that (kx + wt) = a and (kx - wt) =b

sin a + sin b = 2sin [(kx +wt +kx-wt) /2] * cos [(kx +wt - (kx-wt))/2]

Thus we have that

sin a + sin b = 2sin [(kx+wt+kx-wt)/2] * cos[(kx+wt-kx+wt)/2]

By collecting like terms in the bracket we have that

sin a + sin b = 2sin[2kx/2] * cos [2wt/2]

By dividing

sin a + sin b = 2sin(kx) cos(wt)

Now let us get the final resultant vertical displacement (y')

Recall that

y' = A [sin a + sin b]. and we already deduced that

sin a + sin b = 2sin(kx) cos(wt)

Finally,

y' = A [2sin(kx) cos(wt)] which is

y'=2Asin(kx)cos(wt)...... Final answer

In a series circuit with three bulbs,
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

In a series circuit, there is only one path for current to take. 
If more bulbs are added, then the same current loses more energy,
making heat and light on its way through more bulbs, so the ones that
were there before become dimmer.
