<h2>Answer: Virtual and upright</h2><h2 />
A plane mirror is a highly polished flat surface with a very high capacity to reflect incident light.
We can understand in a better way how this works with the figure attached:
1. The incident rays coming from the real object reach the mirror and
2.are reflected following the law of Reflection.
3.The prolongation of those reflected rays converge at a point that does not coincide with the actual position of the object. At that point the virtual image of the object is formed.
4.Then, the reflected divergent rays are captured by our eye converging on the retina.
Now, the image is said to be virtual because it is a copy of the object that looks as if the object is behind the mirror and not in front of it or on the surface, but it is not really there. However, it can be seen when we focus it with our eyes.
In addition, the image formed is:
symmetrical, because apparently it is at the same distance from the mirror
the same size as the object.
upright, because it retains the same orientation as the object.

Answer:
The acceleration of the satellite is
Explanation:
The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:
(1)
Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.
The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as
(2)
Where r is the radius and T is the period
For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite () and the Earth radius (
) :
Then, equation 2 can be used:
⇒
Finally equation 1 can be used:
Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is
Explanation:
As the given data is as follows.
ohm
,
ohm,
= 1200
(as 1 k ohm = 1000 m)
(a) We will calculate the maximum resistance by combining the given resistances as follows.
Max. Resistance =
= ohm
= 2600 ohm
or, = 2.6 ohm
Therefore, the maximum resistance you can obtain by combining these is 2.6 ohm.
(b) Now, the minimum resistance is calculated as follows.
Min. Resistance =
=
= ohm
Hence, we can conclude that minimum resistance you can obtain by combining these is ohm.
