The correct answer is C, right-side up and smaller.

It is the most common example of spherical mirrors. The inside of the spoon acts like a concave mirror and the back side of it like a convex mirror.

A convex mirror always forms a real and diminished image. That is, the image formed is erect or right-side up and smaller in size. Therefore, Lin Yao should describe her reflection on the back side of the mirror to be right-side up and smaller.

Explanation :

There are three types of mirrors i.e. plane mirror, concave mirror, and the convex mirror.

The concave and convex mirrors are spherical mirrors. The back side of a spoon forms a convex mirror.

The image formed by a convex mirror is the real and diminished image.

Also, the image is erect. While on the front side of the mirror, the concave mirror is formed.

So, the correct option is (C) " right-side up and smaller ".

1. Si comprimes un globo hasta reducir su volumen a un tercio de su valor original, ¿cuánto aumenta la presión en su interior?

harina [27]

Answer:

See step by step sexplanation

Explanation:

1.-Sabemos que la relación:

P₁ * V₁ = P₂ * V₂

Para una temperatura constante debe mantenerse entonces si el globo se comprime hasta llevarlo a 1/3 de su valor inicial, entonces necesariamente para cumplir con la relación mencionada, la presión aumenta tres veces su valor original

2.-La definición de presión es fuerza por unidad de superficie, entonces la fuerza es determinada por la altura de la columna de liquido en el recipiente y no por la cantidad total de liquido, de acuerdo a esto habrá más presión en la base del florero, ya que la columna de agua tiene más altura.

3.-No se puede estar de acuerdo con el criterio del plomero. En su solución no plantea el aumento de la altura del tanque, para el logro del aumento de la presión que es realmente lo que hay que hacer

An ac series circuit has an impedance of 60 Ohm and

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Power factor of the AC series circuit is $cos\phi=0.5$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Impedance of the AC series circuit, Z = 60 ohms

Resistance of the AC series circuit, R = 30 ohms

We need to find the power factor of the circuit. It is given by :

$cos\phi=\dfrac{R}{Z}$

$cos\phi=\dfrac{30}{60}$

$cos\phi=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$cos\phi=0.5$

So, the power factor of the ac series circuit is $cos\phi=0.5$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The peak value of an alternating current in a 1500-W device is 6.4 A. What is the rms voltage across it

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

6787.5 V

Explanation:

From the question,

P = IV..................... Equation 1

Where P = Power, I = rms current, V = rms voltage.

make V the subject of the equation

V = P/I................. Equation 2

Given: P = 1500 W, I = 6.4/√2 = 4.525 A

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = 1500(4.525)

V = 6787.5 V

Hence the rms voltage = 6787.5 V

A 5.0 kg chunk of putty moving at 10m/s collides and sticks to a 7.0 kg bowling ball that is initially at rest.What is the total

Flura [38]

Answer:

Total momentum = 50kgm/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, M1 = 5kg

Mass, M2 = 7kg

Velocity, V1 = 10m/s

Velocity, V2 = 0m/s (since it's at rest).

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

$Momentum = Mass * Velocity$

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.

Total momentum = M1V1 + M2V2

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Total momentum = 5*10 + 7*0

Total momentum = 50 + 0

Total momentum = 50 kgm/s

Therefore, the total momentum of the bowling ball and the putty after they collide is 50 kgm/s.
