Which one of the following statements is not a characteristic of a plane mirror?

Physics
1 answer:
OleMash [197]3 years ago
4 0

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

How does electroscope detect type of charge ?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

An electroscope is an early scientific instrument used to detect the presence of electric charge on a body. It detects charge by the movement of a test object due to the Coulomb electrostatic force on it. The amount of charge on an object is proportional to its voltage.

When you are sitting a few feet from a fire, your skin feels warm. What forms of heat transfer are acting to transfer heat from
algol [13]
<span>In the question,' when you are sitting a few feet from the fire, your skin feels warmed. What form of heat transfer are acting to transfer heat from the fire to your skin, the correct option is A, that is, convection and radiation. Heat transfer is defined as the exchange of thermal energy between physical systems. The rate at which the heat is transfer depends on the temprature of the system and the properties of the intervening medium through which the heat is been transfered. There are three basic modes of heat transfer, these are: conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is defined as the transfer of heat between two bodies through physical contact. When two bodies which have different temprature come in contact, there will be a transfer of heat energy between them until the two of them have the same temprature. Conduction usually occurs in solids and liquids; it occurs in gases also but it is extremely slow. Convection is the process by which heat is transfer in fluids, that is, liquids and gases. This is how convection operates: when a fluid is heated, it expands and it becomes lighter, this makes it to rise upward and move to the cooler part of the container, as it rises, it will be replaced by the unheated surrounding particles. This cycle continues until heat is evenly distributed all through the fluid. There are two types of convection: natural and forced convection. The heating of the earth surface by the sun ray is an example of natural convection while the air conditioner we use at home operates by mean of forced convection. Both conduction and convection require matter for heat transfer. Radiation is the transfer of heat from one place to another through electromagnetic waves. The hot body transfer heat by emitting electromagnetic waves. The properties of the electromagnetic waves depend on the temperature of the body. The higher the temperature the more intense the rate of emission of radiation. Radiation can occur in all objects and does not require matter for heat transfer. The heat of the sun reaches the earth surface by means of radiation. In the question given, as the air surrounding the fire were heated they rise and were replaced by the unheated air particles. The continuation of this cycle makes the heat energy to be transferred to the objects around. Thus, the heat from the fire was transferred via convection and radiation. </span>

A child of mass 27 kg swings at the end of an elastic cord. At the bottom of the swing, the child's velocity is horizontal, and
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of child = 27 kg

Speed of child in horizontal = 10 m/s

Length = 3.40 m

There is a rate of change of the perpendicular component of momentum.

Centripetal force acts always towards the center.

We need to calculate the magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum

Using formula of momentum

\dfrac{dp}{dt}=F

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{27\times10^2}{3.40}

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=794.11\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

Two blocks of masses 1 = 700 and 2 = 1100 are connected by a cord of negligible mass and hung over a diskshaped pulley, as shown
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

b) 16 cm

Magnification, m = v/u

3 = v/u

⇒ v = 3u

Lens formula : 1/v – 1/u = 1/f

1/3u = 1/u = 1/12

-2/3u = 1/12

⇒ u = -8 cm

V = 3 × (-8) = -24

Distance between object and image = u – v = -8 – (-24) = -8 + 24 = 16 cm
