A convex mirror of focal length 33 cm forms an image of a soda bottle at a distance of 19 cm behind the mirror.If the height of the image is 7.0 cm,where is the object located,and how tall is it? What is the magnification of the image? Is the image virtual or real? Is the image inverted or upright? Draw a ray diagram to confirm your results.
Answer:
Image distance = 44.8cm, Image height = 16.5cm, Magnification = 0.42
The image is a virtual and upright image.
Explanation:
The nature of image formed by an object placed in front of a convex mirror is always diminished, virtual and erect.
The focal length f and the image distance are always NEGATIVE beacause the image is formed behind the mirror.
Given f = -33.0cm, v = -19.0cm
using thr mirror formula to get the object distance u, we have;
[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}\\ \frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{v}\\\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{-33} - \frac{1}{-19}\\\frac{1}{u}=\frac{-19+33}{627} \\\frac{1}{u}=\frac{14}{627} \\u=\frac{627}{14} \\u = 44.8cm[/tex]
To calculate the image height, we will use the magnification formula
M = [tex]\frac{image\ height}{object\ height}=\frac{image\ distance}{object\ distance} \\[/tex]
M = [tex]\frac{Hi}{HI}=\frac{v}{u}[/tex]
Given Hi = 7.0cm
v = 19.0cm
u = 44.8cm
HI = 7*44.8/19
HI = 16.5cm
The object height is 16.5cm
Magnification = v/u = 19.0/44.8 = 0.42
SInce the image is formed behind the mirror, the image is a VIRTUAL and UPRIGHT image

Answer:
0.99m
Explanation:
Firs you calculate the relative velocity between the boat and the wave. The velocity of the boat is 5m/s and the velocity of the wave is given by:
[tex]v=\lambda f=\lambda\frac{1}{T}=(110m)\frac{1}{8.3s}=13.25\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
the relative velocity is:
[tex]v'=13.25m/s-5m/s=8.25\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
This velocity is used to know which is the distance traveled by the boat after 20 seconds:
[tex]x'=v't=(8.25m/s)(20s)=165m[/tex]
Next, you use the general for of a wave:
[tex]f(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)=Acos(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x-\omega t)[/tex]
you take the amplitude as 2.0/2 = 1.0m.
[tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{8.3s}=0.75\frac{rad}{s}[/tex]
by replacing the values of the parameters in f(x,t) you obtain the vertical displacement of the boat:
[tex]f(165,20)=1.0m\ cos(\frac{2\pi}{110m}(165)-(0.75\frac{rad}{s})(20s))\\\\f(165,20)=0.99m[/tex]

A piston with stops containing water goes through an expansion process through the addition of heat. State 1 the pressure is 200 kPa and the volume is 2 m3. After half of the heat has been delivered the piston hits the stops corresponding to a volume of 5 m3. After all the heat has been delivered, state 2, the pressure is 1000 kPa with the piston resting on the stops. What is the work?
Answer:
The work will be "600 kJ/kg".
Explanation:
(1-a) ⇒ Constant Pressure
(a-2) ⇒ Constant Volume
The given values are:
In state 1,
Pressure, P₁ = 200 kPa
Volume, V₁ = 2m³
In state 2,
Pressure, P₂ = 1000 kPa
Volume, V₁ = 5m³
Now,
In process (1-a), work will be:
⇒ W₁₋ₐ = P₁(Vₐ - V₁)
On putting the values, we get
⇒ W₁₋ₐ = 200(5-2)
⇒ = 200(3)
⇒ = 600 kJ/kg
In process (a-2), work will be:
⇒ Wₐ₋₂ = 0
∴ (The change in the volume will be zero.)
So,
⇒ Total work = (W₁₋ₐ) + (Wₐ₋₂)
⇒ = 600 + 0
⇒ = 600 kJ/kg
Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of its surroundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. If the coffee has a temperature of 210 degrees Fahrenheit when freshly poured, and 2.5 minutes later has cooled to 191 degrees in a room at 64 degrees, determine when the coffee reaches a temperature of 156 degrees.
Answer:
Explanation:
The problem is based on Newton's law of cooling .
According to Newton's law
dQ / dt = k ( T - T₀ ) ,
dT / dt = k' ( T - T₀ ) ; dT / dt is rate of fall of temperature.
T is average temperature of hot body , T₀ is temperature of surrounding .
In the first case rate of fall of temperature = (210 - 191) / 2.5
= 7.6 degree / s
average temperature T = (210 + 191) /2
= 200.5
Putting in the equation
7.6 = k' ( 200.5 - 64 )
k' = 7.6 / 136.5
= .055677
In the second case :---
In the second case, rate of fall of temperature = (191 - 156) / t
= 35 / t , t is time required.
average temperature T = (156 + 191) /2
= 173.5
Putting in the equation
35 / t = .05567 ( 173.5 - 64 )
t = 5.74 minute .

1. Deri had a large tank of oil (s-0.8) and was requested to determine the viscosity of that fluid. To assist with the process, she was given a 0.25-inch-diameter steel ball (sphere, s=8.0) to conduct the test. From the tests, she found that the terminal velocity of the sphere was 2.5 fpm. What is the viscosity of the oil? Remember, the volume of a sphere is (pi D3 /6). ANS. viscosity is 0.258 lb-s/ft2
Answer:
0.25916 lb-s/ft^2
Explanation:
Given:-
- The specific gravity of oil, SGo = 0.8
- The specific gravity of sphere, SGo = 8
- Terminal velocity of sphere, v = 2.5 fpm
- The diameter of sphere, D = 0.25 in
Find:-
What is the viscosity of the oil?
Solution:-
- Consider a sphere completely submerged into oil and travelling with terminal velocity ( v ).
- Develop a free body diagram for the sphere. There are forces acting on the sphere.
- The downward acting force is due to the weight of the sphere ( W ):
[tex]W = m_s*g[/tex]
Where,
The mass ( m_s ) of the sphere is given as:
[tex]m_s = S.G_s*p_w*V_s[/tex]
Where,
ρ_w : Density of water = 1.940 slugs/ft3
V_s: The volume of object ( sphere )
- The volume of sphere is expressed as a function of radius:
[tex]V_s = \frac{\pi *D^3}{6}[/tex]
Hence,
[tex]W = S.G_s*p_w*\frac{\pi*D^3 }{6}* g\\\\W = 8*1.940*\frac{\pi*(0.25/12)^3 }{6}*32\\\\W = 0.00235 lb[/tex]
- One of the upward acting force is the buoyant force ( Fb ) that is proportional to the volume of fluid displaced by the immersed object.
- The buoyant force ( Fb ) is given by:
[tex]F_b = S.G_o*p_w*V_s*g[/tex]
- Therefore the buoyant force ( Fb ) becomes:
[tex]F_b = 0.8*1.94*\frac{\pi*(0.25/12)^3 }{6} *32\\\\F_b = (4.73451*10^-^6)*(49.664)\\\\F_b = 0.00023 lb[/tex]
- The other upward acting force is the frictional drag ( F_d ) i.e the resistive frictional force acting on the contact points of the sphere and the fluid oil.
- From stokes formulations the drag force acting on a spherical object which is completely immersed in a fluid is given as:
[tex]F_d = 3*\pi*D*u*v[/tex]
Where,
μ: The viscosity of fluid
v : The velocity of object
Therefore,
[tex]F_d = 3*\pi*\frac{0.25}{12} *u*0.041666\\\\F_d = 0.00818*u\\[/tex]
- Apply Newton's second law of motion for the sphere travelling in the fluid:
[tex]F_n_e_t = m_s*a[/tex]
Where,
a: Acceleration of object = 0 ( Terminal velocity condition )
[tex]F_n_e_t = 0[/tex]
- Plug in the three forces acting on the metal sphere:
[tex]F_d + F_b - W = 0\\\\F_d = W - F_b\\\\0.00818*u = 0.00235 - 0.00023\\\\u = \frac{0.00212}{0.00818} = 0.25916 \frac{lb-s}{ft^2}[/tex]

To understand thermal linear expansion in solid materials. Most materials expand when their temperatures increase. Such thermal expansion, which is explained by the increase in the average distance between the constituent molecules, plays an important role in engineering. In fact, as the temperature increases or decreases, the changes in the dimensions of various parts of bridges, machines, etc., may be significant enough to cause trouble if not taken into account. That is why power lines are always sagging and parts of metal bridges fit loosely together, allowing for some movement. It turns out that for relatively small changes in temperature, the linear dimensions change in direct proportion to the temperature.
For instance, if a rod has length L0 at a certain temperature T0 and length L at a higher temperature T, then the change in length of the rod is proportional to the change in temperature and to the initial length of the rod: L - L0 = αL0(T - T0),
or
ΔL = αL0ΔT.
Here, α is a constant called the coefficient of linear expansion; its value depends on the material. A large value of α means that the material expands substantially as the temperature increases; smaller values of α indicate that the material tends to retain its dimensions. For instance, quartz does not expand much; aluminum expands a lot. The value of α for aluminum is about 60 times that of quartz!
Questions:
A) Compared to its length in the spring, by what amount ΔLwinter does the length of the bridge decrease during the Teharian winter when the temperature hovers around -150°C?
B) Compared to its length in the spring, by what amount ΔLsummer does the length of the bridge increase during the Teharian summer when the temperature hovers around 700°C?

When we apply the energy conversation principle to a cylinder rolling down an incline without sliding, we exclude the work done by friction because: A. there is no friction present B. the angular velocity of the center of mass about the point of contact is zero C. the coefficient of kinetic friction is zero D. the linear velocity of the point of contact (relative to the inclined surface) is zero E. the coefficient of static and kinetic friction are equal
Answer:
D. the linear velocity of the point of contact (relative to the inclined surface) is zero
Explanation:
The force of friction emerges only when there is relative velocity between two objects . In case of perfect rolling , there is no sliding so relative velocity between the surface and the point of contact is zero . In other words the velocity of point of contact becomes zero , even though , the whole body is in linear motion . It happens due point of contact having two velocities which are equal and opposite . One of the velocity is in forward direction and the other velocity which is due to rotation is in backward direction . So net velocity of point of contact becomes zero . Due to absence of sliding , displacement due to friction becomes zero . Hence work done by friction becomes zero.
A cylindrical specimen of some metal alloy having an elastic modulus of 108 GPa and an original cross-sectional diameter of 3.7 mm will experience only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 1890 N is applied. Calculate the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable elongation is 0.45 mm.
Answer:
L= 276.4 mm
Explanation:
Given that
E= 180 GPa
d= 3.7 mm
F= 1890 N
ΔL= 0.45 mm
We know that ,elongation due to load F in a cylindrical bar is given as follows
[tex]\Delta L =\dfrac{FL}{AE}[/tex]
[tex]L=\dfrac{\Delta L\times AE}{F}[/tex]
Now by putting the values in the above equation we get
[tex]L=\dfrac{0.45\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (3.7\times 10^{-3})^2\times 108\times 10^9}{1890}\ m[/tex]
L=0.2764 m
L= 276.4 mm
Therefore the length of the specimen will be 276.4 mm
Which of the following actions would decrease the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor when a constant potential difference is applied across the plates? (Choose from: Increasing the area of the plates; Decreasing the area of the plates; Increasing the separation between the plates; Decreasing the separation between the plates; Inserting a material with a higher dielectric constant between the plates
Answer:
increasing the separation between the plates
Explanation:
The increase in the vacuum/separation between the plates in a parallel plate capacitor connected to a constant potential difference decreases the energy stored in the capacitor. the increase in the separation of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor reduces the capacitance of the capacitor because
Q(charge) = CV V = VOLTAGE , c = capacitance
E = 1/2 eAV^2/ D ( ENERGY STORED )
where D = distance between plates, e = dielectric, A = area of capacitor , V = potential difference

A student performs an experiment that involves the motion of a pendulum. The student attaches one end of a string to an object of mass M and secures the other end of the string so that the object is at rest as it hangs from the string. When the student raises the object to a height above its lowest point and releases it from rest, the object undergoes simple harmonic motion. As the student collects data about the time it takes for the pendulum to undergo one oscillation, the student observes that the time for one swing significantly changes after each oscillation. The student wants to conduct the experiment a second time. Which two of the following procedures should the student consider when conducting the second experiment?
a) Make sure that the length of the string is not too long.
b) Make sure that the mass of the pendulum is not too large.
c) Make sure that the difference in height between the pendulum's release position and rest position is not too large.
d) Make sure that the experiment is conducted in an environment that has minimal wind resistance.
Answer:
the answers the correct one is cη
Explanation:
In this simple pendulum experiment the student observes a significant change in time between each period. This occurs since an approximation used is that the sine of the angle is small, so
sin θ = θ
with this approach the equation will be surveyed
d² θ / dt² = - g / L sin θ
It is reduced to
d² θ / dt² = - g / L θ
in which the time for each oscillation is constant, for this approximation the angle must be less than 10º so that the difference between the sine and the angles is less than 1%
The angle is related to the height of the pendulum
sin θ = h / L
h = L sin θ.
Therefore the student must be careful that the height is small.
When reviewing the answers the correct one is cη
Considering the approximation of simple harmonic motion, the correct option is:
(c) Make sure that the difference in height between the pendulum's release position and rest position is not too large.
Simple Harmonic MotionAccording to Newton's second law in case of rotational motion, we have;
[tex]\tau = I \alpha[/tex]
Applying this, in the case of a simple pendulum, we get;
[tex]-mg\,sin\,\theta =mL^2 \,\frac{d^2 \theta}{dt^2}[/tex]
On, rearranging the above equation, we get;
[tex]mL^2 \,\frac{d^2 \theta}{dt^2} + mg\,sin\,\theta=0\\\\\implies \frac{d^2 \theta}{dt^2} +\frac{g}{L} sin \,\theta=0[/tex]
Now, if angular displacement is very small, i.e.; the bob of the pendulum is only raised slightly.
Then, [tex]sin\, \theta \approx \theta[/tex]
[tex]\implies \frac{d^2 \theta}{dt^2} +\frac{g}{L} \,\theta=0[/tex]
This is now in the form of the equation of a simple harmonic motion.
[tex]\frac{d^2 \theta}{dt^2} +\omega^2 \,\theta=0[/tex]
Comparing both these equations, we can say that;
[tex]\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}[/tex]
[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}[/tex]
This relation for the time period can only be obtained if the angular displacement is very less.
So, the correct option is;
Option (c): Make sure that the difference in height between the pendulum's release position and rest position is not too large.

A turntable has a moment of inertia of 3.00 x 10-2 kgm2 and spins freely on a frictionless bearing at 25.0 rev/min. A 0.300 kg ball of putty is dropped vertically on the turntable and sticks at a point 0.10m from the center. The total moment of inertia of the system increases, and the turntable slows down. But by what factor does the angular momentum of the system change after the putty is dropped onto the turntable
Answer:
There will be no change in the angular momentum of the system.
Explanation:
Total angular momentum of the system will remain unchanged . We can apply law of conservation of momentum because no external torque is acting on the system . There is increase in the momentum of inertia due to dropping of ball of putty . In order to conserve angular momentum , the system decreases its angular velocity . Hence the final angular momentum remains unchanged .
A 200.0 g block rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. It is pressed against a horizontal spring with spring constant 4500.0 N/m (assume that the spring is massless). The block is held in position such that the spring is compressed 4.00 cm shorter than its undisturbed length. The block is suddenly released and allowed to slide away on the frictionless surface. Find the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring.
Answer:
6 m/s
Explanation:
Given that :
mass of the block m = 200.0 g = 200 × 10⁻³ kg
the horizontal spring constant k = 4500.0 N/m
position of the block (distance x) = 4.00 cm = 0.04 m
To determine the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring; we applying the work done on the spring as it is stretched (or compressed) with the kinetic energy.
i.e [tex]\frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]
[tex]kx^2 = mv^2[/tex]
[tex]4500* 0.04^2 = 200*10^{-3} *v^2[/tex]
[tex]7.2 =200*10^{-3}*v^{2}[/tex]
[tex]v^{2} =\frac{7.2}{200*10^{-3}}[/tex]
[tex]v =\sqrt{\frac{7.2}{200*10^{-3}}}[/tex]
v = 6 m/s
Hence,the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring is 6 m/s

"You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. The rock passes you on its way down, 9.00 s after it was thrown. What is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the water 21.0 m below the point where the rock left your hand
Answer:
48.54 m/s
Explanation:
If the rock takes 9 seconds to reach your position after being thrown, it reaches its maximum height in 4.5 seconds.
The height the rock reaches above your position is ...
h = (1/2)gt^2 = (4.9 m/s^2)(4.5 s)^2 = 99.225 m
This height is an additional 21 m above the water, so the maximum height above the water is ...
99.225 m +21.0 m = 120.225 m
The velocity (v) achieved when falling from this distance is found from ...
v^2 = 2gh
v = √(2(9.8)(120.225)) = √2356.41 ≈ 48.543 . . . . m/s
The speed of the rock when it hits the water is about 48.54 m/s.
a 1200 kg trailer is hitched to a 1400 kg car. the car and trailer are traveling at 72 km.h when the driver applies the brakes on both the car and the trailer. knowing that the braking forces exerted on the car and the trailer are 5000 N and 4000 N respectively, determine (a) the distance traveled by the car and trailer before they come to a stop and (b) the horizontal component of the force exerted by the trailer hitch
Answer:
a) 8.67m
b) 1000N
Explanation:
(a) To find the distance you use the second Newton Law for both car and trailer, in order to calculate the dis-acceleration of the system:
[tex]F=ma\\\\a_=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{5000N+4000N}{1400kg+1200kg}=3.46\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
once you have this value, you use the the following kinematic equation to calculate the distance traveled by both car and trailer:
[tex]v^2=v_o^2-2ax\\\\x=\frac{-v^2+v_o^2}{2a}[/tex]
v: final velocity=0
vo: initial velocity = 72km/h = 60 m/s
by replacing the values of these parameters you obtain for x:
[tex]x=\frac{-0m/s+60m/s}{2(3.46m/s^2)}\\\\x=8.67m[/tex]
(b) The horizontal component of the force exerted by the trailer hitch is given by:
[tex]F_T=5000N-4000N=1000N[/tex]
