How is an image formed by a plane mirror?

Physics
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]3 years ago
7 0
<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.

What is a centripetal acceleration of a point on a bicycle wheel of a radius of 0.70 m when a bike is moving 8.0 m/s
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration acts on a body when it is performing a circular motion.

Here, a point on the bicycle is performing circular motion as the rotation of the wheel produces a circular motion.

The centripetal acceleration of a point moving with a velocity v and at a distance of r from the axis of rotation is given as:

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

Here, v=8\ m/s,r=0.70\ m

∴ a=\frac{8}{0.70}=11.43\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.

An adiabatic nozzle has an inlet area of 1 m^2 and an outlet area of 0.25 m^2. Water enters the nozzle at a rate of 5 m^3/s and
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

v=20m/S

p=-37.5kPa

Explanation:

Hello! This exercise should be resolved in the next two steps

1. Using the continuity equation that indicates that the flow entering the nozzle must be the same as the output, remember that the flow equation consists in multiplying the area by the speed

Q=VA

for he exitt

Q=flow=5m^3/s

A=area=0.25m^2

V=Speed

solving for V

V=\frac{Q}{A} \\V=\frac{5}{0.25} =20m/s

velocity at the exit=20m/s

for entry

V=\frac{5}{1} =5m/s

2.

To find the pressure we use the Bernoulli equation that states that the flow energy is conserved.

\frac{P1}{\alpha } +\frac{v1^2}{2g} =\frac{P2} {\alpha } +\frac{v2^2}{2g}

where

P=presure

α=9.810KN/m^3 specific weight for water

V=speed

g=gravity

solving for P1

(\frac{p1}{\alpha } +\frac{V1^2-V2^2}{2g})\alpha  =p2\\(\frac{150}{9.81 } +\frac{5^2-20^2}{2(9.81)})9.81  =p2\\P2=-37.5kPa

the pressure at exit is -37.5kPa

The initial potential energy of the wagon containing gold boxes will enable

it roll down the hill when cut loose.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto have approximately <u>5.1 seconds</u>.

Reasons:

Mass wagon and gold = 166 kg

Location of the wagon = 77 meters up the hill

Slope of the hill = 8°

Location of the rangers = 41 meters from the canyon

Mass of Lone Ranger, m₁ = 65 kg

Mass of Tonto m₂ = 66 kg

Solution;

Height of the wagon above the level ground, h = 77 m × sin(8°) ≈ 10.72 m

Potential energy = m·g·h

Where;

g = Acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Potential energy of wagon, P.E. ≈ 166 × 9.81 × 10.72 = 17457.0912

Potential energy of wagon, P.E. ≈ 17457.0912 J

By energy conservation, P.E. = K.E.

K.E. = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v^2}

Where;

v = The velocity of the wagon a the bottom of the cliff

Therefore;

\dfrac{1}{2} \times 166 \times v^2 = 17457.0912

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{17457.0912}{\dfrac{1}{2} \times 166} } \approx 14.5

Velocity of the wagon, v ≈ 14.5 m/s

Momentum = Mass, m × Velocity, v

Initial momentum of wagon = m·v

Final momentum of wagon and ranger = (m + m₁ + m₂)·v'

By conservation of momentum, we have;

m·v = (m + m₁ + m₂)·v'

\therefore v' = \mathbf{ \dfrac{m \cdot v}{(m + m_1 + m_2)  }}

Which gives;

\therefore v' = \dfrac{166 \times 14.5}{(166 + 65 + 66)  } \approx 8.1

The velocity of the wagon after the Ranger and Tonto drop in, v' ≈ 8.1 m/s

Time = \dfrac{Distance}{Velocity}

\mathrm{The \ time \ the\ Lone \  Ranger \  and  \ Tonto \  have,  \ t} = \dfrac{41 \, m}{8.1 \, m/s} \approx 5.1 \, s

The Lone Range and Tonto have approximately <u>5.1 seconds</u> to grab the

gold and jump out of the wagon before the wagon heads over the cliff.
