The equation of the constructor of the geomeric optics allows to find the results for the distance and size of the objects are:

  • Distance from the mirror to the object is:  p = 13.3 cm
  • The height of the object is: h = 1.33 cm

The equation of the constructor of geometric optics describes the position of objects and their images for mirrors and lenses.

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}  

Where f is the focal length, p and q are the distances to the object and the image, respectively.

They indicate the focal length f = 10 cm, the distance to the image q = 40 cm, that the height s h ’=  4 cm.  In the attachment we see a scheme of the system.

Let's find the distance to the object.

        \frac{1}{p\frac{x}{y} } = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{q} \\\frac{1}{p}  = \frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{40}\\\frac{1}{p} =    0.075

       p = 13.3 cm

The magnification in the ratio of image size to object size.  The image is inverted so its height is negative.

        m = \frac{h'}{h} = - \frac{q}{p}\\h = - \frac{p}{q} \ h'\\h = - \frac{13.3}{40}\ (-4)

        h = 1.33 cm

In conclusion using the equation of the constructor we can find the results for the distance and size of the objects are:

  • Distance from the mirror to the object is  13.3 cm
  • The height of the object is 1.33 cm

The tires of a car make 77 revolutions as the car reduces its speed uniformly from 95.0 km/h to 65.0 km/h. The tires have a diam
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

95.0 km/hr = 26.39 m/s

65 km/hr = 18.06 m/s

Circumference of a tire is 0.9π m

77 revolutions is a distance of

77(0.9π) = 69.3π m

v² = u² + 2as

a = (v² - u²) / 2s

a = (18.06² - 26.39²) / (2(69.3π))

a = -0.85 m/s²

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (0² - 26.39²) / 2(-0.85)

s = 409 m

Light travels through a liquid at 2.25e8 m/s. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The index of refraction of light in a medium ( n ) determines the degree of "bending" of light in that medium.

- The index of refraction is material property and proportional to density of the material.

- The denser the material the slower the light will move through associated with considerable diffraction angles.

- The lighter the material the faster the light pass through the material without being diffracted as much.

- So, in the other words index of refraction can be expressed as how fast or slow light passes through a medium.

- The reference of comparison of how fast or slow the light is the value of c = 3.0*10^8 m/s i.e speed of light in vacuum or also assumed to be the case for air.

- so we can mathematically express the index of refraction as a ratio of light speed in the material specified and speed of light.

- The light passes through a liquid with speed v = 2.25*10^8 m/s :

                         n = c / v\\\\n = \frac{ 3*10^8 }{2.25*10^8} \\\\n = 1.33

- The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water.

If the frequency of wave is 400 Hz and its wavelength is 2.5 m,<br> what is the velocity?
BigorU [14]
1000 m/s

You have the wavelength and frequency, you just need to solve for velocity. You can do this by multiplying each side of the equation by frequency.

At which latitudes shown in the image of Earth do people experience the greatest tangential speed?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

There's actually only one latitude implied by anything attached the question . . . Zero, since there are no choices listed.

That's brilliant ! Because zero latitude (the equator) IS the place on Earth where tangential speed is greatest.

Very clever !
