A man standing 1.54 m in front of a shaving mirror produces a real, inverted image 15.2 cm from it. What is the focal length of

the mirror? (b) How close to the mirror should he stand if he wants to form an upright image of his chin that is twice the chin's actual size?

Answer:

The focal length is 16.86 cm and the distance of the man  if he wants to form an upright image of his chin that is twice the chin's actual size is 8.43 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance u=1.54 m =154 cm

Image distance v = 15.2 cm

Magnification = 2

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{15.2}+\dfrac{1}{-154}

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{347}{5852}

f=16.86\ cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of magnification

m= \dfrac{-v}{u}

Put the value into the formula

2=\dfrac{v}{u}

v = -2u

Using formula of for focal length

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{16.86}=\dfrac{1}{u}-\dfrac{1}{2u}

\dfrac{1}{16.86}=\dfrac{1}{2u}

2u=16.86

u=\dfrac{16.86}{2}

u=8.43\ cm

Hence, The focal length is 16.86 cm and the distance of the man  if he wants to form an upright image of his chin that is twice the chin's actual size is 8.43 cm.

In the graph above, what is the instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

D) 25 m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation.

v_{f} =v_{i} +(a*t)\\

where:

Vf = final speed [m/s]

Vi = initial speed = 0

a = acceleration = 5[m/s^2]

t = time = 5[s]

After 5 seconds the acceleration is equal to 5 [m/s^2]

Now replacing the values in the equation:

Vf = 0 + (5*5)

Vf = 25[m/s]

Differences between looping and simersaulting​
Anika [276]
Somersaulting- for longer distances.It bends the narrow end in the direction it wants to go & takes grip with tentacles. It releases the broad end and straightens up. like this it continues. looping- for shorter distances.

A satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet. A second satellite is placed in a different circular orbit that is farther a
irinina [24]

The speed of the second satellite is less than the speed of the first satellite.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The speed of any moving object is the ratio of the distance covered and the time taken to cover that distance.

Given is a satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet. A second satellite is placed in a different circular orbit that is farther away from the same planet.

When the distance from the center of the orbit increases, the time to complete the orbit will be greater.

Thus, the speed of the second satellite is less than the speed of the first satellite.

As sea floor spreading occurs, the oceanic plate _______.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Becomes older

Explanation:

As sea floor spreading occurs at divergent margins, the oceanic plate becomes older. Younger plate margin are the closest to the margin whereas the older plates bushes backward away from the spreading centers.

  • The idea that the sea floor spreads was postulated by Harry Hess shortly after the second world war around the 1960's.
  • At divergent margins new crust materials from the mantle are brought to the surface.
  • They crystallize and settle at the flanks of plate margins.
  • Older ones are pushed backward away from the margin into far away subduction zones.
