Answer:

Explanation shown below.

Explanation:

1.The number of images formed by 2 parallel mirrors is an infinite number of images.

2. The characteristics of a plane mirror is such that the object distance equals the image distance.

Hence the object distance is 8.7cm from the right; the image formed would be 8.7cm behind the mirror.

Now a second image is going to be formed by the left mirror which is going to have an image distance of 30.1cm behind the mirror.

Now this image would be reflected on the right side to form a new image which is going to be seen as 38.8 +30.1 = 68.9cm behind the right Mirror .

Hence the shortest distances are 8.7cm and 68.9cm

3. The number of reflections is infinite for both cases.

Intense physical activity that requires little oxygen but uses short bursts of energy is called Anaerobic exercise? True or fals
Ghella [55]
I believe that is true. Anaerobic means without (much) Oxygen. This usually builds up lactic acid in muscles.

Indique onde em quantos metros o rapaz chegará com as seguintes condições: S0 = 0 a) v = 3 m/s e t = 2 s b) v = 2 m/s e t = 3,5
Naily [24]

Answer:

I will answer in English.

Here we will use the relation

Velocity*time = distance

So:

a) velocity = 3m/s

time = 2s

Distance = 3m/s*2s = 6m

b) velocity = 2m/s

time = 3.5s

Distance = 2m/s*3.5s = 7m

c) velocity = 10m/s

time = 0.5s

Distance = 10m/s*0.5s = 5m

d) velocity = 4m/s

time = 2.5s

Distance = 4m/s*2.5s = 9m

e) velocity = 1.5m/s

time = 5s

Distance = 1.5m/s*5s = 7.5m

4.00 kg glass coffee cup is 30.0°C at room temperature. It is then plunged into hot dishwater at a temperature of 90.0°C, as sho
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Q = 200800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 4kg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 90.0°C

Specific heat capacity of glass = 837 J/kg°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 30

dt = 60°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 4*837*60

Q = 200800 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 200800 Joules.
