Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Magnification \ (m) = 2}$

Given:

Object distance (u) = 25.0 cm

Image distance (v) = -50.0 cm

To Find:

Magnification (m)

Explanation:

$\boxed{\bold{\sf Magnification \: (m) = - \frac{Image \: distance \: (v)}{Object \: distance \: (u)}}}$

Substituting values of Image distance(v) & Object distance (u) in the equation:

$\sf \implies m = - \frac{( - 50)}{25}$

-(-50) = 50:

$\sf \implies m = \frac{50}{25}$

$\sf \implies m = \frac{2 \times \cancel{25}}{ \cancel{25}}$

$\sf \implies m = 2$

A nonrelativistic electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference. After acceleration the electron has a de Bro

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Potential difference though which the electron was accelerated is $2.67\times 10^{-6}\ uV\ .$

Explanation:

Given :

De Broglie wavelength , $\lambda=750\ nm.$

Plank's constant , $h=6.626\times 10^{-34}\ J.s \ .$

Charge of electron , $e=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

Mass of electron , m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg. $m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg.$

We know , according to de broglie equation :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}\\\\ v=\dfrac{h}{m\lambda}\\\\v=\dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\ J.s \ }{9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg\times 750\times 10^{-9}\ m }= 969.78\ m/s .$

Now , we know potential energy applied on electron will be equal to its kinetic energy .

Therefore ,

$qV=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\\\ V=\dfrac{mv^2}{2q}$

Putting all values in above equation we get ,

$V=2.67\times 10^{-6}\ uV .$

Hence , this is the required solution.

Diesel engines give more miles per gallon than gasoline engines, but some of this is due to the higher energy content of diesel

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

0.106

Explanation:

For 1 liter of diesel the car can get 19 km, if it takes 0.2 MJ for each km then it would take the total energy of 19*0.2 = 3.8 MJ to move an aerodynamic car 19 km. Since 1 liter of of diesel also contains 36 MJ in internal energy, then the efficiency of the diesel engine is the ratio of its output energy over its input energy:

$\frac{3.8}{36} = 0.106$

A brick of mass 2 kg is dropped from a rest position 5 m above the ground. what is its velocity at a height of 3 m above the gro

Rina8888 [55]

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

Using the ground as reference point, the mechanical energy of the brick when it is at 5 m from the ground is just potential energy (because the brick is initially at rest, so it doesn't have kinetic energy):
$E= U = mgh=(2 kg)((9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=98.1 J$

when the brick is at h'=3 m from the ground, its mechanical energy is now sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:
$E= K+U= \frac{1}{2} mv^2 + mgh'$

where v is the velocity of the brick. Since E is conserved, it must be equal to the initial energy (98.1 J), so we can solve this equation to find v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2(E-mgh')}{m} }=6.3 m/s$

What visible signs indicate a precipitation reaction when two solutions are mixed?

Illusion [34]

Formation of an insoluble solid

Explanation:

One of the remarkable visible signs that indicates a precipitation reaction when two solutions are mixed is the formation of an insoluble solid. The insoluble solid formed is the precipitate.

Precipitates usually forms in single replacement reactions and double replacement or double decomposition reactions.
They form when two soluble compounds react. One of the product is an insoluble solid in the solution called the precipitate.
The solubility table helps to predict whether precipitates forms in a reaction.
