A 1.50 cm high diamond ring is placed 20.0 cm from a concave mirror with radius of curvature 30.00 cm. The magnification is ____

Rama09 [41]2 years ago

Answer:

Magnification, m = -0.42

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of diamond ring, h = 1.5 cm

Object distance, u = -20 cm

Radius of curvature of concave mirror, R = 30 cm

Focal length of mirror, f = R/2 = -15 cm (focal length is negative for concave mirror)

Using mirror's formula :

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}, f = focal length of the mirror

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-15}+\dfrac{1}{-20}

v = -8.57 cm

The magnification of a mirror is given by,

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-(-8.57)}{-20}

m = -0.42

So, the magnification of the concave mirror is 0.42. Thew negative sign shows that the image is inverted.

madam [21]

Answer:

the only effect it has is to create more induced charge at the closest points, but the net face remains zero, so it has no effect on the flow.

Explanation:

We can answer this exercise using Gauss's law

      Ф = ∫ e . dA = q_{int} / ε₀

field flow is directly proportionate to the charge found inside it, therefore if we place a Gaussian surface outside the plastic spherical shell.  the flow must be zero since the charge of the sphere is equal  induced in the shell, for which the net charge is zero. we see with this analysis that this shell meets the requirement to block the elective field

From the same Gaussian law it follows that if the sphere is not in the center, the only effect it has is to create more induced charge at the closest points, but the net face remains zero, so it has no effect on the flow , so no matter where the sphere is, the total induced charge is always equal to the charge on the sphere.

Four electrons are located at the corners of a square 10.0 nm on a side, with an alpha particle at its midpoint. How much work i
Elis [28]

Four electrons are placed at the corner of a square

So we will first find the electrostatic potential at the center of the square

So here it is given as

V = 4\frac{kQ}{r}

here

r = distance of corner of the square from it center

r = \frac{a}{\sqrt2}

r = \frac{10nm}{\sqrt2} = 7.07 nm

Q = e = -1.6 * 10^{-19} C

now the net potential is given as

V = \frac{4 * 9*10^9 * (-1.6 * 10^{-19})}{7.07 * 10^{-9}}

V = 0.815 V

now potential energy of alpha particle at this position

U_i = qV = 2*1.6 * 10^{-19} * (-0.815) = -2.6 * 10^{-19} J

Now at the mid point of one of the side

Electrostatic potential is given as

V = 2\frac{kQ}{r_1} + 2\frac{kQ}{r_2}

here we know that

r_1 = \frac{a}{2} = 5 nm

r_2 = \sqrt{(a/2)^2 + a^2} = \frac{\sqrt5 a}{2}

r_2 = 11.2 nm

now potential is given as

V = 2\frac{9 * 10^9 * (-1.6 * 10^{-19})}{5 * 10^{-9}} + 2\frac{9*10^9 * (-1.6 * 10^{-19})}{11.2 * 10^{-9}}

V = -0.576 - 0.257 = -0.833 V

now final potential energy is given as

U_f = q*V = 2*1.6 * 10^{-19}* (-0.833) = -2.67 * 10^{-19} J

Now work done in this process is given as

W = U_f - U_i

W = (-0.267 * 10^{-19}) - (-0.26 * 10^{-19}}

W = -7 * 10^{-22} J

Norma kicks a soccer ball with an initial velocity of 10.0 meters per second at an angle of 30.0°. If the ball moves through the
enyata [817]

<u>Answer</u>

27.7


<u>Explanation</u>

The ball was hit at an angle of 30°, with the horizontal at a speed of 10 m/s. We have to find the horizontal component of speed.

cosx = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 30 = adjacent / 10

adjacent = 10 cos30

             = 8.66 m/s        ⇒ This is the horizontal speed.

Now  find the horizontal distance.

Distance = speed × time

               = 8.66 × 3.2

                = 27.71

Answer to the nearest tenth = 27.7

Which best describes nuclear fusion?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The statement that best describes nuclear fusion is;

Nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy

Explanation:

In nuclear fusion, we have the reaction of the nuclei of two or more atoms coming together (combining) to form heavier elements and subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons accompanied by the release or absorption in energy depending on the difference between the mass of the reactants and the products

Some nuclear fusion reaction require an input of energy and such reactions are therefore not spontaneous

The best option is nuclei (two or more nuclei) combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.
