Answer:

The minimal vertical distance from the level of the person’s eye is 2.55 cm.

Explanation:

Given;

height of the person = 1.9 m

his eyes are 5.1 cm below the top of his head

If top of his head is the same distance from the mirror as his eyes is from the mirror, then the top of the mirror must be half of his eyes level.

Therefore, the minimal vertical distance from the level of the person’s eye is ¹/₂ x 5.1 cm = 2.55 cm

The minimal vertical distance of the mirror from the level of the person’s eye is 2.55 cm.

The difference in potential between the accelerating plates of a TV set is about 24 kV. The distance between these plates is 1.5
ryzh [129]

Answer:

So electric field between the plates will be equal to 1600\times 10^3KN/C

Explanation:

We have given potential difference between accelerating plates = 24 KV = 24000 volt

Distance between the plates d = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

We know that potential difference is given by V = Ed, here E is electric field and d is distance between plates

So 24000=E\times 0.015

E = 1600000 N/C = 1600\times 10^3KN/C

So electric field between plates will be equal to 1600\times 10^3KN/C

When testing a laptop power connector, how close should the voltage measured be to the accepted voltage of the laptop?
elixir [45]
When testing a laptop power connector, the voltage measured has be close to +/- 5% to the accepted voltage of the laptop. This is to ensure that the power connector would not pose any hazard to the user and is safe for use. So, for instance the accepted voltage is 19 V, when you test the power connector it should be that the reading is between 18 V to 20 V. Any reading below or above that range is not recommended for use. You can locate the accepted voltage on the battery or the laptop itself. To test a power connector, you can use a volt meter or a multi meter.

The wall is 500 sq. feet. A gallon of paint covers 160 sq. feet. What is an appropriate conversion factor to help determine how
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wall is 500 ft^2 in area

160\ ft^2 requires 1 gallon of paint

so using unitary method

1\ ft^2 requires \frac{1}{160}   gallon of paint

500 ft^2 wall will require =500\times \frac{1}{160} gallons of paint

=3.0125\ gallons
