Explain how mirrors can produce images that are larger or smaller than life size, as well as upright or inverted

Physics

Answer:

1) When d_{o} < d_{i} (hence  d_{o} < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

2) When d_{o} > d_{i} (and d_{o} < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

3) When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror

Explanation:

The position of an object in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature, R, determines the size and orientation of the image of the object as illustrated in the mirror equation

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{d_{o}} + \dfrac{1}{d_{i}}

Magnification, \, m = \dfrac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = -\dfrac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}

Where:

f = Focal length of the mirror = R/2

d_{i} = Image distance from the mirror

d_{o} = Object distance from the mirror

h_{i} = Image height

h_{o} = Object height

d_{o} is positive for an object placed in front of the mirror and negative for an object placed behind the mirror

d_{i} is positive for an image formed in front of the mirror and negative for an image formed behind the mirror

m is positive when the orientation of the image and the object is the same

m is negative when the orientation of the image and the object is inverted

f and R are positive in the situation where the center of curvature is located in front of the mirror (concave mirrors) and f and R are negative in the situation where the center of curvature is located behind the mirror (convex mirrors)

∴ When d_{o} < d_{i} (hence  d_{o} < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

When d_{o} > d_{i} (and d_{o} < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror.

Inga [223]
From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
                                           A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.

Malia has developed Type II Diabetes. When she eats, her body
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The correct option is c.

Explanation:

Metabolism is a sum of anabolic and catabolic reactions. The body's inability to produce/synthesize enough insulin is the cause of type II diabetes. Generally, metabolism is the process in which most compounds (proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) are produced (anabolism) or broken down (catabolism) in the body. Insulin is a protein that can be produced in less amount due to metabolic disorder in the body.

Maria's disease means she already has an exponentially high amount of blood sugar against the required insulin to balance it out, hence the disease already slowed down her rate of metabolism (catabolism) of blood sugar EXCEPT she decides to increase of metabolism by medication and exercise.

GIVING BRAINLIEST FIVE STARS AND 25 POINTS!
Ne4ueva [31]

Engines can overheat for many reasons. In general, it's because something's wrong within the cooling system and heat isn't able to escape the engine compartment. The source of the issue could include a cooling system leak, faulty radiator fan, broken water pump, or clogged coolant hose.

Hope it helps! Have a nice day or night!
