What is the minimum height of a planar mirror placed in a vertical plane 2m distant that will permit a person 2m tall to see the
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Height of mirror will be 1 m for complete image of person

Explanation:

We have given distance of person from plane mirror d = 2 m

And height of person = 2 m

We have to find the height of plane mirror which given full image of person

Height of mirror will be equal to half of height of person

So height of mirror =\frac{height\ of\ person}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1m

So height of mirror will be 1 m for complete image of person

A rocket, which is in deep space and initially at rest relative to an inertial reference frame, has a mass of 50.2 × 105 kg, of
AysviL [449]

Answer:

165.2762 m/sec

Explanation:

The initial mass of the rocket and the fuel

M₀ = 5.02e6 kg

The initial mass of the fuel

Mf₀ = 1.25e6 kg

The rate of fuel consumption

dm/dt = 370 kg/sec

The duration of the rocket burn

Δt = 450 sec

The rocket exhaust speed

Ve = 4900 m/sec

The thrust, T

T = Ve (dm/dt) = 1813000 kg m/sec²

The mass of the expended propellant, ΔM

ΔM = Δt (dm/dt) = 166500 kg

The rocket's mass after the burn

M₁ = M₀ − ΔM = 4853500 kg

The speed of the rocket after the burn

Δv = Ve ln(M₀/M₁) = 165.2762 m/sec

HELP?!
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer is the highest temperature, so D

Higher temperatures allow for sound to move faster, since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. The speed of sound in room temperature air is 346 meters per second. This is faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperatures.

Neat little fact: This is also why in the winter when there is snow on the ground, it seems more peaceful and quite. The snow absorbs the sound waves and the temperature makes them not travel as fast, getting more quite as they go.
