Answer: A. 12inches

Explanation:

One of the characteristics of an object placed in front of a plane mirror is that the object distance(u) is equal to the image distance(v) no matter the position of the object from the mirror.

Since object distance is 30 inches, the image distance will be 30inches as will i.e u = v

Using the relationship to get the height of the image

v/u = h1/h0

Where h1 is image height and h0 is object height.

h0 = 12inches

Substituting the values given in the formula we have

30/30 = h1/12

h1 = 12inches.

This means that the image produce by the object is also 12inches tall.

Answer:

Deflation

Explanation:

The process by which wind removes surface materials is called deflation.

Deflation is a process by which wind erodes the Earth's exterior and the regions which experience severe erosion are called deflation zones.

deflation originates by the erosive force of a wind that removes the loosened area and this process is facilitated by a dry climate and a loss of vegetative cover that helps to lose the sediment.

deflation is common in the arid regions.

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s towards an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling on the opposite direction on t
vladimir1956 [14]
Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg

Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s

mass of orange train = 200 kg

Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)

To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which

The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum


Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,

(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s

which of the following statements describes the formation of acid rain?...A. acid rain forms from human activities and lowers th
olga_2 [115]

The correct answer is A. Acid rain forms from human activities and lowers the pH of rainwater below 7

Explanation:

The term "acid rain" is used to refer to rainwater with a low pH or a high acidity, this includes rainwater with a pH below 7 (solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic). In terms of formation, acid rain is mainly the result of human activities such as factories or cars that release pollutants into the atmosphere including nitric and sulfuric acids and these alter the natural pH of rain and makes it more acidic. Additionally, acid rain has negative consequences such as the death of fishes and other organisms in lakes, rivers, etc. because the acidity is toxic to many organisms. Thus, acid rain is the result of human activities and it lowers the pH of rain (Option A).

gravity is a force between any two objects with mass. why doesn't a person feel a gravitational force between him/herself and an
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

c)the gravitational forces of people is so small it is overshadowed by that of earth.

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the distance between the two objects

From the formula, we see that the gravitational force depends on the masses of the objects: since the mass of the Earth (5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg is much much larger than the average mass of one person (80-100 kg), then the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on a person is also much much larger than the gravitational force between two people.
