Explanation:

Image distance, v = -17 cm (-ve for virtual image)

Radius of curvature of concave mirror, R = 39 cm

Focal length, f = -19.5 cm (-ve for a concave mirror)

(a) Using mirror's formula as :

\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{-19.5}-\dfrac{1}{(-17)}  

u = 132.6 cm    

So, the object is placed 132.6 cm in front of the mirror.

(b) Magnification of the  mirror, m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-17}{132.6}

m = -0.128

Hence, this is the required solution.

The x and y components of the velocity vector is 17.32 m/s and 10 m/s respectively.

<h3>What is the x - component of the velocity?</h3>

The x-component of the ball's velocity is the velocity of the ball in the horizontal direction or x-axis.

The velocity of the ball in x-direction is calculated as follows;

Vx = V cosθ

where;

  • Vx is the horizontal velocity of the ball
  • V is the speed of the ball
  • θ is the angle of inclination of the speed

Vx = (20 m/s) x (cos 30)

Vx = 17.32 m/s

The velocity of the ball in y-direction is calculated as follows;

Vy = V sinθ

where;

  • Vy is the vertical velocity of the ball
  • V is the speed of the ball
  • θ is the angle of inclination of the speed

Vy = 20 m/s x sin(30)

Vy = 10 m/s

Your friend says that the second law of thermodynamics can't be true because life itself is a highly ordered system that wouldn'
spayn [35]
This topic is actually quite controversial, but the answer in this case would be C. 

Just some food for thought, the 2nd law of thermodynamics entropy of the universe is always increasing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that earth's entropy has to. As long as the net change in entropy of the universe is increasing it doesn't matter if one planet is decreasing a nominal amount. Next, Earth as said is not a closed system and you could argue that the sunlight and energy from the sun is increasing the total energy within the system that is earth meaning that it is increasing in entropy. Next, if you consider increasing entropy as an increase in the number of possible permutations that the universe or parts of the universe can take, then it is completely possible that an ordered planet and life is possible, although rare. This theory explains why there are so many life forms and why entropy is actually increasing when divergent evolution occurs.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

There's one or two reasons, depending on what is meant by "wind-powered car".

The first reason is that it's impossible for any transfer of energy to be 100% efficient.  There will always be frictional losses.

Secondly, if the company means that they want to attach a wind turbine to the car so that the car is powered by the same wind that it generates, that violates the conservation of energy.
