Answer:

C) false. The image is formed by the prolongation of the rays, so it is VIRTUAL

Explanation:

Let's review each of the statements

A) True. The image is the same size as the object in a flat mirror, m = 1

B) True. The rays are not inverted, so the right images

C) false. The image is formed by the prolongation of the rays, so it is VIRTUAL

D) True. Flat mirrors reverse left and right

E) True. When using trigonometry the angles are equal, therefore two triangles formed have the same leg, and the distance to the object and the image are equal

Explanation:

Let

$x_1$ = distance traveled while accelerating

$x_2$ = distance traveled while decelerating

The distance traveled while accelerating is given by

$x_1 = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$\:\:\:\:\:= \frac{1}{2}(2.5\:\text{m/s}^2)(30\:\text{s})^2$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 1125\:\text{m}$

We need the velocity of the rocket after 30 seconds and we can calculate it as follows:

$v = at = (2.5\:\text{m/s}^2)(30\:\text{s}) = 75\:\text{m/s}$

This will be the initial velocity when start calculating for the distance it traveled while decelerating.

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax_2$

$0 = (75\:\text{m/s})^2 + 2(-0.65\:\text{m/s}^2)x_2$

Solving for $x_2,$ we get

$x_2 = \dfrac{(75\:\text{m/s})^2}{2(0.65\:\text{m/s}^2)}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 4327\:\text{m}$

Therefore, the total distance x is

$x = x_1 + x_2 = 1125\:\text{m} + 4327\:\text{m}$

$\:\:\:\:= 5452\:\text{m}$

What happens to light that strikes a piece of glass

Leya [2.2K]

If a ray of light hits the surface of a sheet of glass, some light will be reflected by the surface of the glass. However, much of the light will pass through the glass, because glass is transparent. ... This 'bending of a ray of light' when it passes from one substance into another substance is called refraction.

Assuming both graduated cylinders are holding water at room temperature, which cylinder has more thermal energy?

natta225 [31]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The graduate cylinder with more water has more thermal energy because it is holding more water molecules

Explanation:

Given that the thermal energy of the system is the energy possessed by the system by virtue of the increased motion of the particles by virtue of a transfer of heat, when the content of the system is heated

The thermal energy, Q is given by the following equation;

Q = Mass, m × The specific heat capacity, C × The change in temperature, ΔT

Given that the graduated cylinder with more water has more mass and therefore, more water molecules, than the cylinder with less water, the cylinder with more water has more thermal energy.

Which two elements will most likely form an ionic bond? (Click on the periodic table icon to view these elements) krypton and li

netineya [11]

Answer:

Magnesium and Bromine

Explanation:

I just took the test, and Magnesium has 7 electrons and Bromine has 2 valance electrons making the transfer a lot easier. In the first choice, Krypton already has 8 valance electrons therefore it cannot transfer or accept any more which rules it out as a possible answer. Calcium has 2 valance electrons and Potassium has 1 meaning it couldn't make a full shell of 8 and cannot make a ionic bond. Iodine has 7 electrons as well as Chlorine which wouldn't be the answer because it would have more than 8 valance electrons.
