Friction is a force that moves back a sliding object

Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object. You will find friction everywhere that objects come into contact with each other. The force acts in the opposite direction to the way an object wants to slide.

A woman is 160160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing up
kipiarov [429]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A woman is 160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright.

Hint: Consider the ray diagram below, of the rays that enable her to see her feet and the top of her head.

Use what you know about the law of reflection, together with a bit geometry.

The missing Image is uploaded along this answer below.

Answer:

the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and illustrated in the image below,

From image 2;

The distance from the woman's eyes to the top of her head is represented as b and a represent the distance from her eyes to her feet.

Therefore, since her height is 160 cm

a + b = 160 ------ let this be equation 1

i.e AD + DG = 160 cm

Now, from the same image 2, we will notice that triangle ABC and tringle CBD are similar, so

∠ABC = ∠CBD

AC = CD

since AD = a and AC + CD = A

AC = CD = a/2

Also, triangle DEF and FEG are si,ilar

∠DEF = ∠FEG

so

DF = FG

since DG = b and DF + FG = b

DF = b/2

so the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which the woman can see her entire body while standing upright will be;

⇒ a/2 + b/2  

⇒ a + b / 2

from equation 1, a + b = 160

so

⇒ a + b / 2 = 160 / 2 = 80

Therefore, the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

An AC generator has 80 rectangular loops on its armature. Each loop is 12 cm long and 8 cm wide. The armature rotates at 1200 rp
Sauron [17]

Answer: 28.96 V

Explanation:

Given

No of loops on the armature, N = 80

Length of the loop, l = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Width of the loop, b = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Speed of the armature, 1200 rpm

Magnetic field of the loop, B = 0.30 T

To solve this, we use the formula

V(max) = NBAω

Where,

A = area of loop

A = l*b = 0.12 * 0.08

A = 0.0096 m²

ω = 1200 rpm = 1200 * 2π/60 rad/s

ω = (1200 * 2 * 3.142) / 60

ω = 7540.8 / 60

ω = 125.68 rad/s

Substituting the values into the formula

V(max) = NBAω

V(max) = 80 * 0.30 * 0.0096 * 125.68

V(max) = 80 * 0.362

V(max) = 28.96 V

Therefore, the maximum output voltage of the generator would be 28.96 V

wariber [46]

Answer:

Hi myself Shrushtee.

Explanation:

Artificial gravity is a must for any space station if humans are to live there for any extended length of time. Without artificial gravity, human growth is stunted and biological functions break down. An effective way to create artificial gravity is through the use of a rotating enclosed cylinder, as shown in the figure. Humans walk on the inside edge of the cylinder, which is sufficiently large (diameter of 2235 meters) that its curvature is not readably noticeable to the inhabitants. (The space station in the figure is not drawn to the scale of the human.) Once the space station is rotating at the necessary speed, how many minutes would it take the space station to make one revolution?

The distance traveled by the man in one revolution is simply the circumference of the space station, C = 2p R. From this result, you should be able to deduce the time it takes for the space station to sweep out a complete revolution.
