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 falling skydiver opens his parachute. A short time later, the weight of the skydiver-parachute system and the drag force exert
Dimas [21]

A falling skydiver opens his parachute. A short time later, the weight of the skydiver-parachute system and the drag force exerted on the system are equal in magnitude. The following statements predicts the motion of the skydiver at this time

<u>The skydiver is moving downward with constant speed.</u>

Explanation:

Immediately on leaving the aircraft, the skydiver accelerates downwards due to the force of gravity. There is no air resistance acting in the upwards direction, and there is a resultant force acting downwards. The skydiver accelerates towards the ground.

The forces acting on a falling leaf are : gravity and air resistance.

The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward.

An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.

As the speed decreases, the amount of air resistance also decreases until once more the skydiver reaches a terminal velocity.

<u>A skydiver falling at a constant speed opens his parachute. When the skydiver is falling, the forces are unbalanced.</u>

1. When the fission of uranium-235 is carried out, about 0.1 percent of the mass of the reactants is lost during the reaction. W
DerKrebs [107]

The correct answer to the question is that the lost mass has been converted into energy.

EXPLANATION:

From Einstein's theory, we know that energy and mass are inter convertible .

When some amount of mass is lost, same amount of energy equivalent to mass is produced.

Let us consider m is the mass lost during any reaction. Hence, the amount of energy produced will be-

                                 Energy E = mc^2                

Here, c is the velocity of light i.e c = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

As per the question, uranium-235 undergoes fission. The amount of mass defect is 0.1 %.

The mass defect is defined as the difference between mass of reactants and products. During the fission, energy is produced.

The energy produced in this reaction is nothing else than the energy equivalent to mass defect.  Approximately 199.5 Mev of energy equivalent to this mass defect is produced in this reaction.

Water, of density 1000 kg/m3, is flowing in a drainage channel of rectangular cross-section. The width of the channel is 15 m, t
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Water flowing rate=  (300000kg/s) = (300000l/s)

Explanation:

First with the section of the channel, the depth of the water and the speed of the fluid we can determine the volume of fluid that circulates per second through the channel:

Volume per time= 15m × 8m × (2.5m/s)= 300 m³/s

With this volume of circulating fluid per second elapsed, we multiply it by the density of the water to determine the kilograms or liters of water that circulate through the channel per second elapsed:

Water flowing rate= (300m³/s) × (1000kg/m³)= (300000kg/s) = (300000l/s)

Taking into account that 1kg of water is approximately equal to 1 liter of water.
