Answer:

in a plane mirror distance of object from mirror is equal to distance of image

so it will be 24 ÷ 2 = 12 cm

Which of the following are true statements? A. Like charges repel B. Unlike charges repel C. Unlike charges attract or D. Charge

Brums [2.3K]

Answer: The correct answers are (A) and (C).

Explanation:

The expression from electrostatic force is as follows;

$F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{1}}{r^{2} }$

Here, F is the electrostatic force, k is constant, r is the distance between the charges and $q_{1},q_{1}$ are the charges.

The electrostatic force follows inverse square law. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges. It is directly proportional to the product of the charges.

Like charges repel each other. There is a force of electrostatic repulsion between the like charges. Unlike charges attract each other. There is a force of electrostatic attraction between unlike charges.

The charges are induced on the neutral object when it is placed nearby the charged object without actually touching it.

Therefore, the true statements from the given options are as follows;

Like charges repel.

Unlike charges attract.

A student pulls a 50-newton sled with a force having a magnitude of 15 newtons. What is the magnitude of the force that the sled

Simora [160]

Answer:

Force = 35 N

Explanation:

From Newton's third law of motion, the boy must apply a force greater than the weight of the sled to lift it.

weight of sled = mg

where m is its mass and g the force of gravity on it.

weight of sled = 50 N

Force applied by the boy on the sled = 15 N

Since the force applied on the sled by the boy is lesser than the weight of the sled, then;

Force that the sled exerts on the student = 50 - 15

= 35 N

The force exerted by the sled on the student is 35 N.

A 7.00-cm-long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wi

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

(a) 1.075 N

(b) 4.254 T

Explanation:

(a)

From the question,

Power = Force×Velocity.

P = Fv................... Equation 1

Where P = Power dissipated in the circuit, F = Pulling force of the wire, v = speed of the wire.

make F the subject of the equation

F = P/v................. Equation 2

Given: P = 4.30 W, v = 4.0 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

F = 4.30/4

F = 1.075 N.

(b)

Applying,

F = BILsinФ.............. Equation 2

Where B = Strength of the magnetic field, I = current in the wire, L = Length of the wire, Ф = angle between the wire and the magnetic field.

make B the subject of the equation

B = F/ILsinФ................... Equation 3

But,

P = I²R...................... Equation 4

Where R = resistance of the wire.

make I the subject of the equation

I = √(P/R)............... Equation 5

Given: P = 4.30 W, R = 0.330 Ω

Substitute into equation 5

I = √(4.3/0.33)

I = √13.03

I = 3.61 A.

Also given: L = 7 cm = 0.07 m, Ф = 90°

Substitute into equation 3

B = 1.075/(0.07×3.61×sin90)

B = 1.075/0.2527

B = 4.254 T.

Which of the following is NOT part of the kinetic theory of gases?

padilas [110]

Answer:

Option a

Explanation:

The three basic and major points of the kinetic theory of gases are listed below:

1. In the collision between the gas molecules, no loss or gain of energy takes place.

2. According to the theory, the gaseous molecules exhibits constant and linear motion.

3. The molecules of the gas occupies very little space as compared to the container. Thus the empty space in a gas is not very little.

A car and a lorry are about to collide. When they collide the two vehicles become tightly locked together. The lorry is going at

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The speed of the vehicles immediately after the collision is 5.84 m/s.

Explanation:

The speed of the vehicles after the collision can be found by conservation of linear momentum:

$p_{i} = p_{f}$

$m_{1}v_{1_{i}} + m_{2}v_{2_{i}} = m_{1}v_{1_{f}} + m_{2}v_{2_{f}}$

Where:

m₁: is the mass of the car = 0.5 ton = 500 kg

m₂: is the mass of the lorry = 9.5 ton = 9500 kg

$v_{1_{i}}$ : is the initial speed of the car = 40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

$v_{2_{i}}$ : is the initial speed of the lorry = 20 km/h = 5.56 m/s

$v_{1_{f}}$ : is the final speed of the car =?

$v_{2_{f}}$ : is the final speed of the lorry =?

Since the two vehicles become tightly locked together after the collision $v_{1_{f}}$ = $v_{2_{f}}$ :

$m_{1}v_{1_{i}} + m_{2}v_{2_{i}} = v(m_{1} + m_{2})$

$v = \frac{m_{1}v_{1_{i}} + m_{2}v_{2_{i}}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} = \frac{500 kg*11.11 m/s + 9500 kg*5.56 m/s}{500 kg + 9500 kg} = 5.84 m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the vehicles immediately after the collision is 5.84 m/s.

I hope it helps you!
