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

You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. First, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. By
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The frequency is    f  = 0.221 \ Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The  time taken for it to decay to half its original size is t  =  3.40 \ ms  =  3.40 *10^{-3} \ s

Let the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged be  V_o

Then the voltage of the capacitor at time t is  said to be  V  =  \frac{V_o}{2}

   Now  this voltage can be  mathematical represented as

      V  =  V_o  * e ^{-\frac{t}{RC} }

Where  RC  is the time constant

   substituting values  

    \frac{V_o}{2}  =  V_o  *  e ^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }

    0.5  =  e^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }

    - \frac{0.5}{RC}  =  ln (0.5)

     -\frac{0.5}{RC} =  -0.6931

     RC  =  0.721

Generally the cross-over frequency for a low pass filter is mathematically represented as

          f  = \frac{1}{2 \pi  * RC  }

substituting values  

           f  = \frac{1}{2*  3.142  * 0.72  }

           f  = 0.221 \ Hz

What is the total kinetic energy of a 0.15 kg hockey puck sliding at 0.5 m/s and rotating about its center at 8.4 rad/s? The dia
ycow [4]
The mass of the puck is
m = 0.15 kg.
The diameter of the puck is 0.076 m, therefore its radius  is
r = 0.076/2 = 0.038 m
The sliding speed is
v = 0.5 m/s
The angular velocity is
ω = 8.4 rad/s

The rotational moment of inertia of the puck is
I = (mr²)/2
  = 0.5*(0.15 kg)*(0.038 m)²
  = 1.083 x 10⁻⁴ kg-m²

The kinetic energy of the puck is the sum of the translational and rotational kinetic energy.
The translational KE is
KE₁ = (1/2)*m*v²
       = 0.5*(0.15 kg)*(0.5 m/s)²
       = 0.0187 j

The rotational KE is
KE₂ = (1/2)*I*ω²
       = 0.5*(1.083 x 10⁻⁴ kg-m²)*(8.4 rad/s)²
       = 0.0038 J

The total KE is
KE = 0.0187 + 0.0038 = 0.0226 J

Answer: 0.0226 J

Why is a solution of 4% acetic acid in 95% ethanol used to wash the crude aldol-dehydration product?
raketka [301]

A cold acetic acid solution is used to wash the residue of the reagent in preparation of an aldol condensation product after vacuum filtration.  The main reason in washing with the acetic acid rinse is to neutralize any sodium hydroxide.

The position of a particle moving along the x axis may be determined from the expression x(t) = btu + ctv, where x will be in me
KIM [24]

As per given equation we have

x = bt^u + ct^v

now as per the dimensional analysis we can say that dimension of right side of equation must be equal to left side of the equation

now as per left side of equation its dimension is same as length or meter

now we can say it should be meter on right side also

bt^u = M^0L^1T^0

b*T^8 = M^0L^1T^0

b = M^0L^1T^{-8}

similarly for other term we have

ct^v = M^0L^1T^0

c*T^7 = M^0L^1T^0

c = M^0L^1T^{-7}

<em>so above are the dimensions of b and c</em>

Is v2 = v1t+a dimensionally correct? Explain please!
Lady bird [3.3K]
You want v2 = v1 + at
v is measured in m/s, a in m/s2, and t in s.
the dimensions multiply like algebraic quantities. 
so because v2 is measured in m/s, then (v1 + at) has to come out in m/s
 the units for (v1 + at) are (m/s) + (m/s2)(s)
time "s" cancels out one acceleration "s", so it comes ut to (m/s) + (m/s), which = (m/s). 
if you had (v1t + a), then you would have (m/s)(s) + (m/s2) which = (m) + (m/s2), which doesn't work.
