The magnification of the ornament is 0.25

To calculate the magnification of the ornament, first, we need to find the image distance.

Formula:

  • 1/f = u⁻¹+v⁻¹.................... Equation 1

Where:

  • f = Focal length of the ornament
  • u = image distance
  • v = object distance.

make u the subject of the equation

  • u = fv/(f+v)................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • f = 8/2 = 4 cm
  • v = 12 cm

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • u = (12×4)/(12+4)
  • u = 48/16
  • u = 3 cm.

Finally, to get the magnification of the ornament, we use the formula below.

  • M = u/v.................. Equation 3

Where

  • M = magnification of the ornament.

Substitute these values above into equation 3

  • M = 3/12
  • M = 0.25.

Hence, The magnification of the ornament is 0.25

A submarine deep underwater releases a bubble of air. The total pressure at this depth is P. The bubble has diameter, D, and abs
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

P V = n R T      ideal gas equation

P2 V2 / P1 V1 = T2 / T1    

V2 / V1 = T2 / T1 * P1 / P2 = T2 P1 / (T1 P2)

V2 / V1 = (1.17 T1) / T1 * (P1 / .22 P1)      assuming absolute temp as 1.17 P1

V2 / V1 = 1.17 / .22 = 5.32

V = 4/3 pi R^3 = 4/3 pi (D/2)^3 = 4/3 pi D^3 / 8 = pi D^3 / 6

V2 / V1 = D2^3 / D1^3

D2 = (V2 / V1 * D1^3)^1/3

D2 = 5.32^1/3 * D = 1.75 D      (D1 = D)

A 9Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts and connected in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance of the combination.​
sammy [17]

Answer:

the ans i 1 ohm

Explanation:

if i cut a resistor of 9 ohm into 3 equal parts then each resistor will have a resistance of 3 ohm and if they are in parallel combination the net resistance will be R

so 1/R=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3

     1/R=1/3+1/3+1/3

      R=1

One billiard ball strikes another billiard ball, and they move away from each other
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

C) The magnitude and direction

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning that it has both magnitude and direction.

For the momentum, we look at both the direction of the ball (negative, positive) and the magnitude of the velocity (5 m/s, 10 m/s) when figuring out what to use for "v" in p = mv.
