Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

An object is place 9cm in from of a concave mirror

Then, object distance is 9cm

u = 9cm

Focal length of the mirror is 6cm

Then, f = 6cm

A. We want to find image distance

Image distance v?

From mirror formula

1 / f = 1 / u + 1 / v

Where

f is focal length

u is object distance

v is image distance

1 / f = 1 / u + 1 / v

1 / 6 = 1 / 9 + 1 / v

1 / v = 1 / 6 - 1 / 9

1 / v = 1 / 18

Take reciprocal of both sides

v = 18 cm

Since the image distance is positive, then, the image is real.

B. Magnification M?

Magnification can be determined using

M = image distance / object distance

M = v / u

M = 18 / 9

M = 2

So, the image is double.

A car in motion has kinetic energy. What happens to the kinetic energy when the car brakes to a stop? The kinetic energy is tran
Pie

Answer:

<em>When a moving car brakes to a stop the </em><em>kinetic energy of the car is converted to heat energy. </em>

Explanation:

A moving car has kinetic energy.

It is given by the equation k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where m denotes mass of the car and v denote sits velocity. When the brakes are applied the velocity becomes zero and the car doesn’t possess kinetic energy anymore.

According to law of conservation of energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. On coming to a stop,  the kinetic energy of the car  gets converted to heat. The friction between the tyre and the road heats up the tyre.

A plane passes over Point A with a velocity of 8000 m/s north. Forty seconds later it passes over Point B at a velocity of 10,00
Airida [17]

Answer:

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the initial velocity u is 8000m/s

and also given the final velocity v=10,000 m/s

the time taken to move from A to B = 40 second

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time

we know that the expression for acceleration is given as

a=(v-u)/t

substituting our given data into the expression for a we have

a=(10000-8000)/40

a=2000/40

a=500m/s^2

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

What is kirchoff s law???
kolbaska11 [484]
There are two laws named for Kirchhoff.  The both concern electrical circuits.
Here they are in my own words:

1).  The sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.

2).  The sum of the currents at any single point in a circuit is zero.

Please help me with this question
valkas [14]

Answer: m∠P ≈ 46,42°

because using the law of sines in ΔPQR

=> sin 75°/ 4 = sin P/3

so ur friend is wrong due to confusion between edges

+) we have: sin 75°/4 = sin P/3

=> sin P = sin 75°/4 . 3 = (3√6 + 3√2)/16

=> m∠P ≈ 46,42°

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.
