Answer:

C) 10 cm

Explanation:

We shall first calculate the focal length of the mirror.

object distance u = 20 cm ( negative )

Image distance v = 12 cm ( negative )

using mirror formula

1/ v + 1 /u = 1/ f

-1/12  - 1/ 20 =1/ f

f =- 7.5 cm

In the second case

u = - 30 cm

f = - 7.5 cm

i / v + 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / v - 1/30 = - 1/ 7.5

v = -10 cm

Answer is C that is 10 cm

Alisiya [41]

It depends how far you travel.

If for instance you travel 1000 miles, then your speed is distance/time = 1000/5 = 200 mph

When an object is electrically polarized
marta [7]

Answer:

One side is more positive, the other is more negative

Explanation:

When an atom is electrically polarized, it means that one side has more electrons than the other. This makes one side more negative as it has more electrons than the other. I hope this helps!

What happens when you compress a gas?
8090 [49]
The density increases.
When gases are compressed, their volume decreases, and the resulting pressure increases. The temperature will change if either P or V are held constant. Since the volume decreases, then density, or m/V, increases.
P×V ~ T

What best describes a sound wave? transverse and electromagnetic longitudinal and mechanical longitudinal and electromagnetic tr
GalinKa [24]

Sound needs medium to travel and it can not travel without medium

so sound wave is a travelling wave

now we also know that sound wave propagate in form of rarefaction and compression.

So all medium particles travel in the direction of wave only

so it is a longitudinal wave also

so correct answer will be

<em>mechanical longitudinal </em>

Number 10 and an explaination would be fabulous. thanks!
Sati [7]
Linear momentum has to be conserved. It was zero before the thread eas burned ... when nothing was moving ... so the momentum of the masses moving in opposite directions has to add up to zero. ... Momentum = mass times speed. ... In one direction, you have 5 kg times 1/5 m/s= 1 kg-m/s. ... We need 1 kg-m/s in the other direction. ... 7 kg times speed = 1 kg-m/s. ... Can you finish it from here ?
