How far should pencil held from a convex mirror of radius 80 cm to form an image one-half the size of the pencil?

How are objects in space able to “fall” into orbit?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

MRCORRECT has answered the question

Explanation:

Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pullson the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.

Yeast breaking down starch into usable energy ____________ law of thermodynamics.

Anon25 [30]

<span>First law of thermodynamics. This conservation law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. In essence, energy is always conserved but can be converted from one form into another. Like when an engine burns fuel, it converts the energy stored in the fuel's chemical bonds into useful mechanical energy and then into heat, or more specifically, the melting ice cubes. Yeast breaks down maltose into glucose to produce alcohol and Co2 in the fermentation process. This is a prime example of the 1st law of thermodynamics. No form of usable energy is really lost; it only changes from one form to another</span>

A positive charge +q1 is located to the left of a negative charge -q2. On a line passing through the two charges, there are two

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

please the answer below

Explanation:

(a) If we assume that our origin of coordinates is at the position of charge q1, we have that the potential in both points is

$V_1=k\frac{q_1}{r-1.0}-k\frac{q_2}{1.0}=0\\\\V_2=k\frac{q_1}{r+5.2}-k\frac{q_2}{5.2}=0\\\\$

k=8.89*10^9

For both cases we have

$k\frac{q_1}{r-1.0}=k\frac{q_2}{1.0}\\\\q_1(1.0)=q_2(r-1.0)\\\\r=\frac{q_1+q_2}{q_2}\\\\k\frac{q_1}{r+5.2}=k\frac{q_2}{5.2}\\\\q_1(5.2)=q_2(r+5.2)\\\\r=\frac{5.2q_1-5.2q_2}{q_2}$

(b) by replacing this values of r in the expression for V we obtain

$k\frac{q_1}{\frac{5.2(q_1-q_2)}{q_2}+5.2}=k\frac{q_2}{5.2}\\\\\frac{q_1}{q_2}=\frac{(q_1-q_2)}{q_2}-1.0=\frac{q_1-q_2-q_2}{q_2}=\frac{q_1-2q_2}{q_2}$

hope this helps!!

The left end of a long glass rod 8.00 cm in diameter, with an index of refraction 1.60, is ground to a concave hemispherical sur

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a) q = -9.23 cm, b) h’= 0.577 mm , c) image is right and virtual

Explanation:

This is an optical exercise, where the constructor equation should be used

1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

Where f is the focal length, p the distance to the object and q the distance to the image

A) The cocal distance is framed with the relationship

1 / f = (n₂-1) (1 /R₁ -1 /R₂)

In this case we have a rod whereby the first surface is flat R1 =∞ and the second surface R2 = -4 cm, the sign is for being concave

1 / f = (1.60 -1) (1 /∞ - 1 / (-4))

1 / f = 0.6 / 4 = 0.15

f = 6.67 cm

We have the distance to the object p = 24.0 cm, let's calculate

1 / q = 1 / f - 1 / p

1 / q = 1 / 6.67 - 1/24

1 / q = 0.15 - 0.04167 = 0.10833

q = -9.23 cm

distance to the negative image is before the lens

B) the magnification of the lenses is given by

M = h ’/ h = - q / p

h’= - q / p h

h’= - (-9.23) / 24.0 0.150

h’= 0.05759 cm

h’= 0.577 mm

C) the object is after the focal length, therefore, the image is right and virtual
