Answer:

a) Please find attached the required drawing of light passing through the lens

By the use of similar triangles;

The image distance from the lens = 26 cm

The height of the image = 14 cm

c) The image distance from the lens = 26 cm

The height of the image = 14 cm

Explanation:

Question;

a) Determine the image distance and the height of the image

b) Calculate the image position and height

The given parameters are;

The height of the object, h = 14 cm

The distance of the object from the mirror, u = 26 cm

The focal length of the mirror, f = 13 cm

The location of the object = 2 × The focal length

Therefore, given that the center of curvature ≈ 2 × The focal length, we have;

The location of the object ≈ The center of curvature of the lens

The diagram of the object, lens and image created with MS Visio is attached

From the diagram, it can be observed, using similar triangles, that the image distance from the lens = The object distance from the lens = 26 m

The height of the image = The height of the object - 14 cm

b) The lens equation is used for finding the image distance from the lens as follows;

$\dfrac{1}{u} + \dfrac{1}{v} = \dfrac{1}{f}$

Where;

v = The image distance from the lens

We get;

$v = \dfrac{u \times f}{u - f}$

Therefore;

$v = \dfrac{26 \times 13}{26 - 13} = \dfrac{26 \times 13}{13} = 26$

The distance of the image from the lens, v = 26 cm

The magnification, M =v/u

∴ M = 26/26 = 1, therefore, the object and the image are the same size

Therefore;

The height of the image = The height of the object = 14 cm.

A police officer is parked by the side of the road, when a speeding car travelling at 50 mi/hrpasses. The police car immediately

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car $V_{c}$ = 50 mi/hr = 22.352 m/s

acceleration of police car = 10 mi/hr = 4.47 m/s²

$V_{f}$ = 70 mi/hr = 31.29 m/s

Now time taken to reach maximum speed is t₁

$V_{f}$ = $V_{i}$ + at₁

we substitute

31.29 = 0 + 4.47t₁

t₁ = 31.29 / 4.47

t₁ = 7 sec

now

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × at₁²

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × 0 + 4.47×(7)²

d₁ = 109.5 m

so distance travelled by the speeding car in time t₁ will be

$d_{c}$ = $V_{c}$ × t₁

we substitute

$d_{c}$ = 22.352 × 7

$d_{c}$ = 156.46 m

now distance between polive car and speeding car

Δd = $d_{c}$ - d₁

Δd = 156.46 - 109.5

Δd = 46.96 m

time taken to cover Δd will be

t₂ = Δd / ( $V_{f}$ - $V_{c}$ )

t₂ = 46.96 / ( 31.29 - 22.352 )

t₂ = 46.96 / 8.938

t₂ = 5.25 sec

distance travelled by the police in time t₂ will be

d₂ = $V_{f}$ × t₂

d₂ = 31.29 × 5.25

d₂ = 164.3 m

a) How long will it take before the officer catches up to the speeding car;

time taken to catch up with speeding car;

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 7 + 5.25

t = 12.25 secs

Therefore, time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) how far will it have travelled in order to do so;

distance = d₁ + d₂

distance = 109.5 + 164.3

distance = 273.8 m

Therefore, the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

When drinking at a private even, you should assume that drinks will ___.

allochka39001 [22]

When drinking at a private event, you should assume that drinks will be STRONGER THAN NORMAL.

At private events, some hosts have the habit of mixing different drinks together in order to increase the intoxicating power of the drinks. This does not normally happen when one is buying from restaurants or other commercial places. Thus, to be on the safe side, one should always assume that drinks will be stronger when one is attending a private event, this will caution one to drink responsibly in order to avoid intoxication.

Please help on this one somebody?

7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m. An electromagnetic wave of frecuency 4.0 x 10¹⁸Hz has a wavelength of 7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m.

Wavelength is the distance traveled by a periodic disturbance that propagates through a medium in a certain time interval. The wavelength, also known as the space period, is the inverse of the frequency. The wavelength is usually represented by the Greek letter λ.

λ = v/f. Where v is the speed of propagation of the wave, and "f" is the frequency.

An electromagnetic wave has a frecuency of 4.0 x 10 ¹⁸Hz and the speed of light is 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s. So:

λ = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s)/(4.0 x 10¹⁸ Hz)

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m
