<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Light bounces off of the mirror and then appears to come from behind the mirror.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u><em>Plane mirrors form images that are virtual, upright and the same size and shape as the object it is reflecting.</em></u>
<em><u>When rays of light from the object hits a plane mirror they bounces off the mirror,that is they undergo reflection, and appear to originate from behind the mirror, resulting to the formation of a virtual image.</u></em>
The image formed appears to be behind the plane in which the mirror lies. A virtual image is an image that is formed at a location from which the rays of light appear to come from. The image can not be formed on a screen.

Luke Autbeloe drops a pile of roof shingles from the top of a roof located 8.52

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

t = 1.31 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The top of a roof is located 8.52 meters above the ground.

We need to find the time required for the shingles to reach the ground. Let the time be t. Its initial velocity was 0 as it was at rest initially. Using the equation of motion to find it as follows :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where

t is the time and u = 0

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 8.52}{9.8}} \\\\t=1.31\ s$

So, it will take 1.31 seconds for the shingles to reach the ground.
