At a department store, you adjust the mirrors in the dressing room so that they are parallel and 6.2 ft apart. You stand 1.8 ft

from one mirror and face it. You see an infinite number of reflections of your front and back.(a) How far from you is the first "front" image? ft (b) How far from you is the first "back" image? ft

Answer:

<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>

<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>

Explanation:

Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft

difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft

a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.

According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,

your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>

b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.

the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,

the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,

therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>

The town of seaside needs to build a new power plant the old coal burning plant produces too much pollution and if no longer saf
drek231 [11]

To generate clean energy the mayor my build the fooling type of energy plants:

wind farms

solar power plants

wave power plants

Explanation:

At the seaside there are winds all over the year and that can be transformed in electrical energy by a wind turbine. The mayor can build a on-shore wind farm (reduced consts) and may also build off-shore wind farms (but these have an increased cost).

The second option is to build solar power plants. It will be cost effective if the people in the town will install solar panels on the building roofs. In this way you decrease the costs with the transportation of electrical energy.

The third option is to install wave power plants which harvest energy from the sea waves. It is a rather new technology, in comparison with the other two, but the initial consts can be amortized over time.

All three options will provide clean energy.

Right now nuclear plants have a very expensive initial costs and they may not be afforded by small towns.

if you poured oil and water into a beaker , which liquid would be on top and which would be on the bottom ? How would the densit
Effectus [21]

Answer:

 oil floats in water due to the fact that it is less dense. since the water is more dense, it is basically heavier, and heavier items always sink, while lighter items float, the same can be said about liquids. denser liquids will sink while less dense items will float.

Two pieces of evidence for plate tectonics?
Reika [66]
Evidence from fossils, glaciers, and complementary coastlines helps reveal how the plates once fit together. Fossils tell us when and where plants and animals once existed. Some life "rode" on diverging plates, became isolated, and evolved into new species.

Answer:

The solution(s) are in order with respect to the attachments

2.613\:\cdot10^5 Joules ; 5. Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature ; 2. Same speed in both ; 2. A

Explanation:

Diagram 1 ( Liquid Nitrogen ) : So as you can see, we want our units in Joules here, and can therefore multiply the mass of gaseous nitrogen and the latent heat of liquid nitrogen, to cancel the units kg, and receive our solution - in terms of Joules. Let's do it.

q ( energy removed ) = mass of nitrogen * latent heat of liquid nitrogen,

q = 1.3 kg * 2.01 * 10⁵ J / kg = 1.3\:\cdot \:2.01\:\cdot \:\:10^5 = 10^5\cdot \:2.613 = 100000\cdot \:2.613 = 261300 Joules = 261.3 kiloJoules = 2.613 * 10⁵Joules is the energy that must be removed

Diagram 2 : The same amount of heat does not necessarily mean the same increase in temperature for two different objects. The increase in temperature depends on the specific heat capacity of the substance. Therefore your solution is 5 ) Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature.

Diagram 3 : The temperatures in both glasses are the same, and hence the molecules have the same average speed. Therefore your solution is 2 ) Same speed in both.

Diagram 4 : Glass A has more water molecules, and hence has more thermal energy. Your solution is 2 ) A.
