You place a light bulb 8 cm in front of a concave mirror. You then move a sheet of paper back and forth in front of the mirror.

The image of the light bulb focuses on the paper when the paper is 12 cm in front of the mirror. What is the focal length of the mirror? Please show work too.

sorry - late reply...just stumbled across tis...hope u can still use it :)


By the mirror equation: 1/di + 1/do = 1/f

<span>
</span>

<span>where di = distance to image = +12cm (+ for real image)</span>


and do = distance to object = +8cm


Substitute and solve for f, the focal length

<span><span>
1/12 + 1/8 = 1/f
</span><span>
1/f = (8 + 12) / 12 * 8 = 20/96
</span><span>
so f = 96/20 = 4.8 cm</span>
</span>

A point charge q1 = 4.50 nC is located on the x-axis at x = 1.95 m , and a second point charge q2 = -6.80 nC is on the y-axis at
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

One charge is situated at x = 1.95 m . Second charge is situated at y = 1.00 m

These two charges are situated outside sphere as it has radius of .365 m with center at origin. So charge inside sphere = zero.

Applying Gauss's theorem

Flux through spherical surface = charge inside sphere / ε₀

= 0 / ε₀

= 0 Ans .

A bowling ball starts from rest and moves 300 m down a long, downwardly angled track in 22.4 sec.a. What is its speed at the end
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The speed at the end of the track = 27 m/s

The acceleration = 1.2 m/s²

Please find the Δx vs Δt, v vs Δt, a  vs Δt

Explanation:

We have;

x = u·t + 1/2·a·t²

Where;

x = The distance = 300 m

u = The initial velocity = 0 m/s (Ball at rest)

t = The time taken = 22.4 s

Therefore;

300 = 0 + 1/2×a×22.4²

a = 2×300/22.4² = 1.19579 ≈ 1.2 m/s²

v = u + a×t

∴ v = 0 + 1.2 × 22.4 = 26.88 ≈ 27 m/s

Part of the table of values is as follows;

t,                                     x,                                          v

0,                                    0,                                        0

0.4,                                 0.095663,                         0.478316

0.8,                                 0.382653,                          0.956632

1.2,                                   0.860969,                         1.434948

1.6,                                   1.530611,                            1.913264

2,                                     2.39158,                              2.39158

2.4,                                  3.443875,                           2.869896

2.8,                                   4.687497,                          3.348212

3.2,                                   6.122445,                           3.826528

sveta [45]

Answer:

A) B = 9.425 × 10^(-5) T

B) North direction

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Current in coil; I = 4.5 A

Number of turns; N = 100 turns

Radius;R = diameter/2 = 6/2 = 3 m

Formula for the magnetic field at the center of the coil is given by;

B = (μ_o•N•I)/2R

Where μ_o is a constant = 4π × 10^(-7) H/m

Thus;

B = (4π × 10^(-7) × 100 × 4.5)/(2 × 3)

B = 9.425 × 10^(-5) T

B) The direction of the force on a positive ion in water can be gotten by the application of flemmings right hand rule.

From flemmings right hand rule, we know that;

- The thumb indicates the direction of the motion of the force which is in the north direction.

- The Index finger indicates the direction of the magnetic field which is in the east direction

- The middle finger indicates the direction of magnetic field which is downwards in the west direction.

Therefore, the direction of the force as seen from flemmings right hand rule is in the north direction
