Answer:

1. The image of the person is 1.41 m, virtual and formed at the back of the surface of the globe.

2. The person's image is 3.38 m tall.

Explanation:

From the given question, object distance, u = 0.75 m, object height = 1.8 m, radius of curvature of the reflecting globe, r = 8 cm = 0.08 m.

f = \frac{r}{2} = \frac{0.08}{2} = 0.04 m

1. The image distance, v, can be determined by applying mirror formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{0.04} = \frac{1}{0.75} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{4}{100} - \frac{75}{100} = \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{4 - 75}{100}

  = - \frac{71}{100}

⇒ v = -\frac{100}{71}

      = - 1.41 m

The image of the person is 1.41 m, virtual and formed at the back of the surface of the globe.

2.  \frac{image distance}{object distance} = \frac{image height}{object height}

  \frac{1.41}{0.75} = \frac{v}{1.8}

v = \frac{2.538}{0.75}

  = 3.384

v = 3.38 m

The person's image is 3.38 m tall.

A metal wire breaks when its tension reaches 100 newton. If the radius and length of the wire were both doubled then it would br
serg [7]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Since Young's modulus for the metal, E = σ/ε where σ = stress = F/A where F = force on metal and A = cross-sectional area, and ε = strain = e/L where e = extension of metal = change in length and L = length of metal wire.

So,  E = σ/ε = FL/eA

Now, since at break extension = e.

So making e subject of the formula, we have

e = FL/EA = FL/Eπr² where r = radius of metal wire

Now, when the radius and length are doubled, we have our extension as e' = F'L'/Eπr'² where F' = new force on metal wire, L' = new length = 2L and r' = new radius = 2r

So, e' = F'(2L)/Eπ(2r)²

e' = 2F'L/4Eπr²

e' = F'L/2Eπr²

Since at breakage, both extensions are the same, e = e'

So,  FL/Eπr² = F'L/2Eπr²

F = F'/2

F' = 2F

Since F = 100 N,

F' = 2 × 100 N = 200 N

So, If the radius and length of the wire were both doubled then it would break when the tension reached 200 Newtons.

The more twists per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to ____.
Murljashka [212]
The more twist per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to cross talk. A cross talk in network planning and design is a disturbance produced by electromagnetic interference beside a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal interrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can source the signals to turn out to be confused and cross over each other.

If a girl is standing still and holding a box, is she doing any work? Why or why not?
sukhopar [10]
I beleive she isnt doing any work due to holding the box motionless, you must be exerting a force in the direction of the box motion. If she is just standing there holding the box their isn't no work becuase no distance has been covered. work = force = distance.
