Convex mirrors can only produce virtual images because the focal point and the center of curvature of the convex mirror are imaginary points and that cannot be reached.

<h3>What is virtual image?</h3>

This is referred to the opposite of a real image and cannot be obtained on a screen. It is formed from the apparent divergent of light rays from a point and not the actual one which is the major difference it has with a real image.

It is usually produced by a convex mirror because the focal point and the center of curvature of the convex mirror are imaginary points which can't be reached.

A rod of length Lo moves iwth a speed v along the horizontal direction. The rod makes an angle of (θ)0 with respect to the x' ax

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

From the question we are told that

The length of the rod is $L_o$

The speed is v

The angle made by the rod is $\theta$

Generally the x-component of the rod's length is

$L_x = L_o cos (\theta )$

Generally the length of the rod along the x-axis as seen by the observer, is mathematically defined by the theory of relativity as

$L_xo = L_x \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

=> $L_xo = [L_o cos (\theta )] \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

Generally the y-component of the rods length is mathematically represented as

$L_y = L_o sin (\theta)$

Generally the length of the rod along the y-axis as seen by the observer, is also equivalent to the actual length of the rod along the y-axis i.e $L_y$

Generally the resultant length of the rod as seen by the observer is mathematically represented as

$L_r = \sqrt{ L_{xo} ^2 + L_y^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{[ (L_o cos(\theta) [\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }\ \ ]^2+ L_o sin(\theta )^2)}$

=> $L_r= \sqrt{ (L_o cos(\theta)^2 * [ \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } ]^2 + (L_o sin(\theta))^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{(L_o cos(\theta) ^2 [1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} ] +(L_o sin(\theta))^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{L_o^2 * cos^2(\theta) [1 - \frac{v^2 }{c^2} ]+ L_o^2 * sin(\theta)^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{ [cos^2\theta +sin^2\theta ]- \frac{v^2 }{c^2}cos^2 \theta }$

=> $L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }$

Hence the length of the rod as measured by a stationary observer is

$L_r = L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }$

Generally the angle made is mathematically represented

$tan(\theta) = \frac{L_y}{L_x}$

=> $tan {\theta } = \frac{L_o sin(\theta )}{ (L_o cos(\theta ))\sqrt{ 1 -\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$

=> $tan(\theta ) = \frac{tan\theta}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$

Define conductor and insulator, including how the resistance is different in the two, and give at least one example of each.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Those substances which can conduct electricity are called conductors, while those substances which don't conduct electricity are called insulators.

Resistance is the obstruction provided by the material through which the current passes,so since conductors conduct electricity and insulators don't,so the obstruction i.e resistance provided by the conductor must be less,while insulators being unable to conduct electricity,has very high resistance.

Example of conductor is copper

Example of insulator is plastic
