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.

Which of the following is not an example of a molecule? A.H2O2 B.NCl3 C.F D.O3
lara [203]
I believe the answer is F. This is because, F stands for Fluorine, which is an element and consists of one atom. A molecule consists of TWO OR MORE atoms held together by chemical bonds. F consists of only one atom, which is Fluorine. So the answer is C. Hope helped.

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

A pail in a water well is hoisted by means of a frictionless winch, which consists of a spool and a hand crank. When Jill turns
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

166 W

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

\text{Power} = \dfrac{\text{Work done}}{\text{time}}

The work done by Jill is the product of the weight of the pail and the height it moves.

The weight is the product of the mass and acceleration of gravity, <em>g</em>. Taking <em>g</em> as 9.81 m/s², the weight is

<em>W</em> = (6.90 kg)(9.81 m/s²) = 67.689 N

Work done = (67.689 N)(27.0 m) = 1827.603 J

Power = (1827.603 J) ÷ (11.0 s) = 166 W

You have a bowling ball with a mass of 4kg. You throw it with an acceleration of 10 m/s/s. With how much force will it hit the p
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 40 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 4 kg

acceleration = 10 m/s²

So we have

force = 4 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>40 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
