A spherical Christmas tree ornament is 8.00 cm in diameter. What is the magnification of an object placed 12.0 cm away from the

ornament
Physics

LiRa [457]3 years ago
8 0

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 hydraulic lift is designed to lift cars up to 2000 kg in mass.If the lift under the car is 1.0 m by 1.2m and the area of the i
Lerok [7]

Answer:

C) 160 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the car = 2000 kg

Weight of the car is given as

W = mg \\W = (2000) (9.8)\\W = 19600 N

F_{i} = Force exerted on the input piston

A_{i} = Area of input piston = 10 cm x 10 cm = 0.1 m x 0.1 m = 0.01 m²

A_{lift} = Area of lift = 1 m x 1.2 m = 1.2 m²

Using Pascal's law

\frac{F_{i}}{A_{i}} = \frac{W}{A_{lift}}\\\frac{F_{i}}{0.01} = \frac{19600}{1.2}\\F_{i} = 160 N

Jeff is a landscaping contractor and lifts a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging a board under the rock. Jeff weighs 150 pounds
jonny [76]

Answer: 4

The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force exerted  by the object to the force applied to do work on it.

Here, Jeff tried to lift a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging board under the rock. Jeff who weighs 150 pounds uses all his weight to exert force on lever and lift rock.

Mechanical advantage, M.A.=\frac{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}rock}{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}Jeff}=\frac{600 pounds}{150 pounds}=4.

Therefore, the mechanical advantage that lever provided to Jeff in lifting rock is 4.

Consider Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: FG= G (m1 m2)/d2 .
bixtya [17]

Answer:

C

Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.

Explanation:

The formula for the force of gravity between two objects is

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

d is the separation between the two objects

We notice the  following:

- F is directly proportional to the masses, F\propto m_1, m_2. This means that if one of the masses increases, then the force between them, F, increases in a proportional way

- F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, F\propto \frac{1}{d^2}. This means that if the distance between the two objects is increased, the force between them will decrease, and vice-versa.

So, the correct answer is

C

Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.

A school bus has a mass of 18,200 kg. The bus moves at 13.5 m/s. How fast must a 0.142-kg baseball move in order to have the sam
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

bus momentum

p_bus= m_bus x v_bus

=18,200 x 16.5

basball momentum

pball=mball x vball

=0.142 x v

p_bus = pball

18200 x 16.5 = 0.142 x v

v=(18200 x 16.5)/0.142

v is the answer for baseball
