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

What does the Pauli exclusion principle state? . . A.Electrons will be added to an atom at the lowest possible level or sublevel

BARSIC [14]

The Pauli exclusion principle state that : D. Two electrons occupy the same orbital only if they have opposite spins

This happen because he stated that in an atom or molecule, two electrons CANNOT have same four electronic quantum numbers

hope this helps

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

s = s₀ + v₀t + ½at²

s = 0 + 0(15) + ½(6)(15²)

s = 675 m

Not sure what the free fall acceleration is needed for, but if the object is dropped from a high enough point, it will travel in 15 seconds

s = ½10(15²) = 2250 m if air resistance is ignored

A slender rod is 90.0 cm long and has mass 0.120 kg. A small 0.0200 kg sphere is welded to one end of the rod, and a small 0.080

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Speed of 0.08 kg mass when it will reach to the bottom position is 1.94 m/s

Explanation:

When rod is released from rest then due to unbalanced torque about the hinge the system will rotate

Now moment of inertia of the system is given as

$I = \frac{ML^2}{12} + \frac{m_1L^2}{4} + \frac{m_2L^2}{4}$

now we have

$M = 0.120 kg$

$m_1 = 0.02 kg$

$m_3 = 0.08 kg$

now we have

$I = \frac{0.120(0.90)^2}{12} + \frac{0.02(0.90)^2}{4} + \frac{0.08(0.90)^2}{4}$

so we have

$I = 8.1 \times 10^[-3} + 4.05 \times 10^[-3} + 0.0162$

$I = 0.02835$

now by energy conservation we can say work done by gravity must be equal to change in kinetic energy

so we have

$\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = m_1g \frac{L}{2} - m_2 g\frac{L}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}(0.02835)\omega^2 = (0.08 - 0.02)(9.81)(0.45)$

$\omega = 4.32 rad/s$

Now speed of 0.08 kg mass when it reaches to bottom point is given as

$v = \omega \frac{L}{2}$

$v = 4.32 (0.45)$

$v = 1.94 m/s$

State two reasons why the rod is not in equilibrium

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

For equilibrium the net torque on the rod must be zero. So the 100N forces should on either side of the pivot point i.e. one on the left and one the right, and in same direction.
