Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
where f is the focal length of the mirror, d_o the distance of the object from the mirror, and d_i the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for d_i by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}
d_i = -8.6 cm
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.

A very good insulator has an R-value of 29. The material's heat transfer coefficient is
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

b. 0.034

Explanation:

The heat transfer coefficient of a material (U-value) is equal to the reciprocal of its R-value, therefore:

U = \frac{1}{R}

where

R is the R-value of the material

For the insulator in this problem,

R = 29

Substituting into the equation, we find the heat transfer coefficient:

U=\frac{1}{29}=0.034

If an automobile battery is rated at 20 ampere-hours, what is the maximum current that can be supplied for 19 minutes?
Elenna [48]
20Ah is the number of charge that can be supplied at 20A for 1 hour. If you wish to drain it in 19 minutes, then the current is:
20*60 = A_{2}*19
A_{2}=63.2A
