You are looking at yourself in a plane mirror, a distance of 3 meters from the mirror. your brain interprets what you are seeing in the mirror as being a person standing 6 meters from you.

<h3>Calculation</h3>

The plane mirror shows an exact replica of the real world. that means the distance of you from the mirror is the same distance as your reflection form the mirror at the opposite side of the mirror.

Thus, distance of image from the plane mirror is same as the distance of object (person) from the plane mirror but the image is formed behind the mirror.

Thereby we have v=u=3 m

Thus, distance between image and the person

is d = v + u = 3 + 3 = 6 m

Thus, the person is 6 meters away from the image.

a 2.0 kg block slides on the horizontal, frictionless surface until it counters a spring force constant with
icang [17]

Complete question:

a 2.0 kg block slides on the horizontal, frictionless surface until it counters a spring with force constant of  955 N/m. The block comes to rest after compressing the spring a distance of 4.6 cm. Find the initial speed (in m/s) of the block.

Answer:

The initial speed of the block is 1.422 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 2.0 kg

force constant of the spring, K = 955 N/m

compression of the spring, x = 4.6 cm = 0.046 m

Apply Hook's law to determine applied force on the spring;

F = Kx

F = (955 N/m)(0.046 m)

F = 43.93 N

Apply Newton's 2nd law to determine the magnitude of deceleration of the block when it encounters the spring;

F = ma

a = F / m

a = 43.93 / 2

a = 21.965 m/s²

Apply kinematic equation to determine the initial speed of the block;

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final speed of the block = 0

u is the initial speed of the block

x is the distance traveled by the block = compression of the spring

a is the block deceleration = -21.965 m/s²

0 = u² + 2(-21.965 )(0.046)

0 = u²  - 2.021

u² =  2.021

u = √2.021

u = 1.422 m/s

Therefore, the initial speed of the block is 1.422 m/s

A 1000 kg car is rolling slowly across a level surface at 1m/s, heading toward a group of small innocent children.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The force is -1620.73 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 1000 kg

Velocity = 1 m/s

Distance = 2 m

Angle = 30°

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of work done

W_{net}=K_{f}-K_{i}

F\times d=K_{f}-K_{i}

Fd\cos\theta=-K_{i}

F=\dfrac{-K_{f}}{d\cos\theta}

F=-\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{d\cos\theta}

Put the value into the formula

F=-\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times(1)^2}{2\times\cos30}

F=-1620.73\ N

Hence, The force is -1620.73 N.

Which of the following statements best explains why elements in the same family of the periodic table have similar bonding prope
slava [35]

Answer: D. The elements have the same number of valence electrons

Explanation: The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

The elements present in the same group or vertical column have similar valence configurations and thus behave similarly in chemical reactions or have similar bonding properties.

For Example: Both fluorine and chlorine belong to same family or group and both have 7 electrons in their valence shell and thus accept single electron to attain noble gas configuration.

F:9:1s^22s^22p^5

F^-:10: 1s^22s^22p^6

Cl:17:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Cl^-:18:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

thus both would bond with a cation bearing a single positive charge.
