Answer:

2.5 ft

Explanation:

minimum size of the mirror should be one half the person's height.

For this woman of 5 feet height, she would therefore need a mirror of length 2.5 feet

5ft ÷ 2 ft (half) = 2.5ft OR half of 5t is 2.5ft

A marble resting near the edge of .90 m high table is given an initial horizontal speed of 1.24 m/s. What will be it’s horizonta

Maru [420]

Answer:

0.53 m

Explanation:

First of all, we have to consider the vertical motion of the ball, in order to find the time it takes for the marble to reach the ground. The initial height is $h=0.90 m$ , the initial vertical velocity is zero, while the acceleration is $g=-9.81 m/s^2$ , so the vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t)=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

By demanding y(t)=0, we find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground:

$0=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.9 m)}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.43 s$

Now we can find the horizontal range of the marble: we know the initial horizontal speed (v=1.24 m/s), we know the total time of the motion (t=0.43 s), and since the horizontal speed is constant, the total distance traveled on the horizontal direction is

$x=vt=(1.24 m/s)(0.43 s)=0.53 m$
