Answer:

Option 3: -48 cm

Explanation:

We are given:

refractive index; n = 1.5

radius of curvature; r2 = 24 cm

Formula for the focal length is given as;

1/f = (n - 1) × [(1/r1) - (1/r2)]

As r1 tends to infinity, 1/r1 = 0

Thus,we now have;

1/f = (n - 1) × (-1/r2)

Plugging in the relevant values;

1/f = (1.5 - 1) × (-1/24)

1/f = -0.02083333333

f = -1/0.02083333333

f = -48 cm

You are an industrial engineer with a shipping company. As part of the package- handling system, a small box with mass 1.60 kg i

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) V = 0.82m/s

b) Vmax = 0.985 m/s

Explanation:

By conservation of energy we know that:

Eo = Ef $\frac{m*V^{2}}{2}-\frac{K*Xmax^{2}}{2}=-Ff*Xmax$

Solving for V we get:

V = 0.82 m/s

To find the maximum speed we will do the same to an intermediate point where the compression is X and the distance for the work donde by frictions is given by (Xmax - X) = (0.28m - X):

$\frac{m*Vmax^{2}}{2}+\frac{K*X^{2}}{2}-\frac{K*Xmax^{2}}{2}=-Ff*(Xmax-X)$

Then we have to solve for V, derive and equal zero in order to find position X. After solving the derivative we get:

X = 0.1m Replacing this value into the equation for Vmax:

Vmax = 0.985m/s

A positive charge of 18nC is evenly distributed along a straight rod of length 4.0 m that is bent into a circular arc with a rad

sergey [27]

Explanation:

Formula for angle subtended at the center of the circular arc is as follows.

$\theta = \frac{S}{r}$

where, S = length of the rod

r = radius

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\theta = \frac{S}{r}$

= $\frac{4}{2}$

= $2 radians (\frac{180^{o}}{\pi})$

= $114.64^{o}$

Now, we will calculate the charge density as follows.

$\lambda = \frac{Q}{L}$

= $\frac{18 \times 10^{-9} C}{4 m}$

= $4.5 \times 10^{-9} C/m$

Now, at the center of arc we will calculate the electric field as follows.

E = $\frac{2k \lambda Sin (\frac{\theta}{2})}{r}$

= $\frac{2(9 \times 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2})(4.5 \times 10^{-9}) Sin (\frac{114.64^{o}}{2})}{2 m}$

= 34.08 N/C

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the electric eld at the center of curvature of the arc is 34.08 N/C.

as you go above earths surface, the acceleration due to gravity will decrease. find the height, i meters, above the earths surfa

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

1.23×10⁸ m

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is:

a = GM / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant,

M is the mass of the planet,

and r is the distance from the center of the planet to the object.

When the object is on the surface of the Earth, a = g and r = R.

g = GM / R²

When the object is at height i above the surface, a = 1/410 g and r = i + R.

1/410 g = GM / (i + R)²

Divide the first equation by the second:

g / (1/410 g) = (GM / R²) / (GM / (i + R)²)

410 = (i + R)² / R²

410 R² = (i + R)²

410 R² = i² + 2iR + R²

0 = i² + 2iR − 409R²

Solve with quadratic formula:

i = [ -2R ± √((2R)² − 4(1)(-409R²)) ] / 2(1)

i = [ -2R ± √(1640R²) ] / 2

i = (-2R ± 2R√410) / 2

i = -R ± R√410

i = (-1 ± √410) R

Since i > 0:

i = (-1 + √410) R

R = 6.37×10⁶ m:

i ≈ 1.23×10⁸ m
