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>

A rubber ball with a mass 0.20 kg is dropped vertically from a height of 1.5 m above the floor. The ball bounces off of the floo
Digiron [165]
Potential Energy = mass * Hight * acceleration of gravity
PE=hmg
PE = 1.5 * .2 * 9.81
PE = 2.943
it lost .6 so 2.943 - .6 = 2.343
now your new energy is 2.343 so solve for height
2.343 = mhg
2.334 = .2 * h * 9.81
h = 1.194
the ball after the bounce only went up 1.194m

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

If gravity between the Sun and Earth suddenly vanished, Earth would continue moving in
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Earth would continue moving by uniform motion, with constant velocity, in a straight line

Explanation:

The question can be answered by using Newton's first law of motion, also known as law of inertia, which states that:

"an object keeps its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force different from zero"

This means that if there are no forces acting on an object, the object stays at rest (if it was not moving previously) or it continues moving with same velocity (if it was already moving) in a straight line.

In this problem, the Earth is initially moving around the Sun, with a certain tangential velocity v. When the Sun disappears, the force of gravity that was keeping the Earth in circular motion disappears too: therefore, there are no more forces acting on the Earth, and so by the 1st law of Newton, the Earth will continue moving with same velocity v in a straight line.

Richardson pulls a toy 3.0 m across the floor by a string, applying a force of0.50 N. During the first meter, the string is para
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Total Work done =0.65 joule

Explanation:

Work done is given Mathematically as

W=F *d

Where w=work done in joules

F=applied force

d= distance moved

The work done to move the toy accros the first meter is

W1=0.5*1

W1=0.5joule

The work done to move the toy across the next 2m at an angle of 30° is

.W2=0.5*2cos30

W2=0.5*2*0.154

W2=0.154joule

Hence total work done is

W1+W2=0.5+0.154

Total Work done =0.65 joule

A bag of potato chips contains 2.00 L of air when it is sealed at sea level at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 20.0°
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The volume at mountains is 2.766 L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume V_{1} = 2.00\ L

Pressure P_{1}= 1.00\ atm

Pressure P_{2}= 70.0\ kPa

Temperature T_{1}= 20.0°C = 293\ K

Temperature T_{2}= 7.00°C = 280\ K

We need to calculate the volume at mountains

Using  gas law

\dfrac{PV}{T}=\ Constant

For both temperature,

\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\dfrac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{101.325\times2}{293}=\dfrac{70\times V_{2}}{280}

V_{2}=\dfrac{101.325\times2\times280}{293\times70}

V_{2}=2.766\ litre

Hence, The volume at mountains is 2.766 L.
