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.

Why is the air drag on a baseball different than it would be for a smooth ball with no stitches? How does this apply to the desi
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The stitches and dimples around a baseball  and a golf ball respectively, disturbs the air drag on the balls once they are in motion, allowing the them to travel more easily.

Explanation:

The stitches on a baseball disturbs the air drag on the ball when the ball is in motion, allowing the ball to travel more easily. Depending on the orientation of the ball in flight, the drag changes as the flow is disturbed by the stitches.  

A smooth ball with no stitches or dimples has more air drag that opposes the motion.

A golf ball is smooth ball with dimples to create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake, and allowing the ball to travel more easily.
