What are plane mirrors ?

1 answer:

Explanation:

Mirrors consist of reflecting surfaces that reflect light.

Reflection is a phenomenon of light wave (but also of other types of waves) in which a ray of light hits a surface, and then it bounces back into the original medium at a certain angle.

The direction of the reflected ray is determined by the law of reflection:

The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the surface all lie in the same plane
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence (where both angles are measured between the ray and the normal to the surface)

A plane mirror is a type of mirror consisting of a straight surface. As a result, light incident perpendicular to the surface is reflected back exactly in the opposite direction.

The image formed by a plane mirror is:

- The same size as the object

- Virtual (it is located behind the mirror)

- Laterally inverted

- Upright

1. Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

It may not be at the sea level

Explanation:

The reason here is water only boils at sea level. This means that if you move water to a different height, say top of a mountain, the boiling temperature of water would change. This is due to the pressure drop at high place. The drop of pressure would make it harder to transform water liquid to gas, thus requiring more temperature.

A river 1.00 mile wide flows with a constant speed of 1.00 mph. A man can row a boat at 2.00 mph. He crosses the river in a dire

gladu [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the geometric concepts of displacement according to the description given. Taking into account that there is an initial displacement towards the North and then towards the west, therefore the speed would be:

$V_T^2=v_N^2-v_W^2$

$V_T = \sqrt{v_N^2-v_W^2}$

Travel north 2mph and west to 1mph, then,

$V_T = \sqrt{2^2-1^2}$

$V_T = \sqrt{3}$

The route is done exactly the same to the south and east, so make this route twice, from the definition of speed we have to

$v= \frac{\Delta x}{t}$

$t = \frac{\Delta x}{v}$

$t = \frac{2*(1mile)}{\sqrt{3}mph}$

$t = 1.15hour$

Therefore the total travel time for the man is 1.15hour.

A 4.00 m long, massless beam rests horizontally on a support 3.00 m from the left

Rus_ich [418]

If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

Given the data in the question;

Length of the massless beam; $L = 4.00m$

Distance of support from the left end; $x = 3.00m$

First mass; $m1 = 31.3 kg$

Distance of beam from the left end( m₁ is attached to ); $x_1 = ?$

Second mass; $m_2 = 61.7 kg$

Distance of beam from the right of the support( m₂ is attached to ); $x_1 = 0.273m$

Now, since it is mentioned that the beam is in static equilibrium, the Net Torque on it about the support must be zero.

Hence, $m_1g( x-x_1) = m_2gx_2$

we divide both sides by $g$

$m_1( x-x_1) = m_2x_2$

Next, we make $x_1$ , the subject of the formula

$x_1 = x - [ \frac{m_2x_2}{m_1} ]$

We substitute in our given values

$x_1 = 3.00m - [ \frac{61.7kg\ * \ 0.273m}{31.3kg} ]$

$x_1 = 3.00m - 0.538m$

$x_1 = 2.46m$

Therefore, If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s toward an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling in the opposite direction on th

Serhud [2]

The initial momentum of the yellow and the orange train is 1000kgm/s.

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of any object.

Momentum is denoted by P.

Momentum P = mv , where m = mass and v = velocity.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the orange train = 200kg

Velocity of the orange train = 1m/s

So, the momentum of the orange train will be,

∴ P = mv

P = 200 x 1

P = 200 kgm/s

∴ The initial momentum of the orange train is 200kgm/s.

Mass of the yellow train = 100kg

Velocity of the yellow train = 8m/s

So, the momentum of the yellow train will be,

∴ P = mv

P = 100 x 8

P = 800 kgm/s

∴ The initial momentum of the yellow train is 800kgm/s.

Therefore, the initial momentum of the yellow and the orange train is 1000kgm/s.
