The focal point of a mirror is half of the radius of curvature. We can use the formula,                                                                                                                   1/f = 1/v + 1/u                                                                                                          where f is the focal length , v is the image distance and u is object distance        The distance of the star is assumed to be incredibly far away and 1 divided by a really big number is approximately zero, thus;                                                     1/f = 1/v  = 1/75 = 1/v                                                                                             therefore; the image is formed 75 cm infront of the mirror

damaskus [11]
P = m * v
v = {3i - 4j} = square root (3^2 + 4^2) = 5
P = 20 * 5

A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. for the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical accel
Vikki [24]

acceleration of rocket is given here as

a_y = 2.60* t

now we know that

\frac{dv}{dt} = 2.60t

now integrating both sides

\int dv = \int 2.60t dt

v = 2.60\frac{t^2}{2}

v = 1.30 t^2

here since its given that rocket will accelerate for t = 10 s

so here we have

v = 1.30 * 10^2

v = 130 m/s

so after t = 10 s the speed of rocket will be 130 m/s upwards

An LR circuit contains an ideal 60-V battery, a 42-H inductor having no resistance, a 24-ΩΩ resistor, and a switch S, all in ser
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1.6 s

Explanation:

To find the time in which the potential difference of the inductor reaches 24V you use the following formula:

V_L=V_oe^{-\frac{Rt}{L}}

V_o: initial voltage = 60V

R: resistance = 24-Ω

L: inductance = 42H

V_L: final voltage = 24 V

You first use properties of the logarithms to get time t, next, replace the values of the parameter:

\frac{V_L}{V_o}=e^{-\frac{Rt}{L}}\\\\ln(\frac{V_L}{V_o})=-\frac{Rt}{L}\\\\t=-\frac{L}{R}ln(\frac{V_L}{V_o})\\\\t=-\frac{42H}{24\Omega}ln(\frac{24V}{60V})=1.6s

hence, after 1.6s the inductor will have a potential difference of 24V

What is the resistance ofa wire made of a material with resistivity of 3.2 x 10^-8 Ω.m if its length is 2.5 m and its diameter i
Katarina [22]

R = 0.407Ω.

The resistance  R of a particular conductor is related to the resistivity ρ of the material by  the equation R = ρL/A, where ρ is the material resistivity, L is the length of the material and A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the material.

To calculate the resistance R of a wire made of a material with resistivity of 3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m, the length of the wire is 2.5m and its diameter is 0.50mm.

We have to use the equation R = ρL/A but first we have to calculate the cross-sectional area of the wire which is a circle. So, the area of a circle is given by A = πr², with r = d/2. The cross-sectional area of the wire is A = πd²/4.  Then:

R =[(3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m)(2.5m)]/[π(0.5x10⁻³m)²/4]

R = 8x10⁻⁸Ω.m²/1.96x10⁻⁷m²

R = 0.407Ω
