A) A concave mirror forming a larger, virtual image

Explanation:

The figure is missing; see attachment.

There are two types of mirror:

Concave (converging) mirrors: a concave mirror is a mirror that reflects the light inward
Convex (diverging) mirrors: a convex mirror is a mirror that reflects the light outward

The image formed by a mirror can also be of two types:

Real image: it is formed on the same side of the object, with respect to the mirror
Virtual image: it is formed on the opposite side of the object, with respect to the mirror

In the figure of this problem (see attachment), we see that:

- The mirror reflects the light from the object inward --> so it is a concave mirror

- The image is formed on the other side of the mirror --> it is a virtual image

So the correct option is

A) A concave mirror forming a larger, virtual image

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

x = 0.237

y = 0.0789

Explanation:

Vector with direction 18.4° and magnitude 0.250 has x and y components of:

x = 0.250 cos 18.4°

x = 0.237

y = 0.250 sin 18.4°

y = 0.0789

Starting from rest, a solid sphere rolls without slipping down an incline plane. At the bottom of the incline, what does the ang

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w

Explanation:

Assume:

- The cylinder with mass m

- The radius of cylinder R

- Distance traveled down the slope is s

- The angular speed at bottom of slope w

- The slope of the plane θ

- Frictionless surface.

Solution:

- Using energy principle at top and bottom of the slope. The exchange of gravitational potential energy at height h, and kinetic energy at the bottom of slope.

ΔPE = ΔKE

- The change in gravitational potential energy is given as m*g*h.

- The kinetic energy of the cylinder at the bottom is given as rotational motion: 0.5*I*w^2

- Where I is the moment of inertia of the cylinder I = 0.5*m*R^2

We have:

m*g*s*sin(θ) = 0.25*m*R^2*w^2

2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w

- The angular velocity depends on plane geometry θ , distance travelled down slope s, Radius of the cylinder R , and gravitational acceleration g

lesya692 [45]

Answer:252 miles

Explanation:

Given

During his way to mountain it took 7 hr to drive

and during his return trip it took 4 hr to return

Let x be the distance between home and mountain

average speed for return is 27 miles per hour faster than his former trip

let v be the speed on his way to mountain thus v+27 is his return speed

thus $7=\frac{x}{v}$ ----1

for return trip

$4=\frac{x}{v+27}$ -----2

divide 1 & 2

$\frac{7}{4}=\frac{x\cdot (v+27)}{v\cdot x}$

$7v=4v+4\cdot 27$

$3v=4\cdot 27$

$v=36 mph$

thus $x=7\times 36=252\ miles$

Elodia [21]

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as

$\Delta KE = \Delta PE$
