Answer:

12 cm

Explanation:

Mirrors work on the principle of reflection.

Reflection occurs when a ray of light bounces off a surface, being reflecting back into the original medium.

Mirrors are surfaces over which light is reflected; as a result, objects placed in front of a mirror produce an image of themselves.

There are two types of mirrors:

- Curved mirrors: this mirrors are curved, and are further divided into convex mirrors and concave mirrors. These mirrors can produce images that are real or virtual, bigger or smaller tha the original objects, and also upright or inverted, depending on the position of the object with respect to the mirror

- Flat mirrors: these mirrors are perfectly flat. The image produced by a flat mirror is:

  • The same size as the object
  • Laterally inverted
  • Upright
  • At the same distance as the object from the mirror (4)
  • Virtual (it appears "behind" the mirror)

In this problem, the object is located 12 cm in front of the mirror.  According to statement (4), the image produced by a flat mirror is at the same distance as the object: therefore  in this case, it is 12 cm.

What characteristic of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it?
Korvikt [17]
The mass of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it. This is according to Newton's Law of Gravitation, which basically states that the more mass a body has, the greater the force of attraction it exerts on other bodies with mass near it.

The gravitational force is:

F = GMm/r², where G is a constant, r is the distance between large mass M and small mass m.

Considering the fact that acceleration is force per unit mass, if we divide gravitational force by the small mass (to get force per unit mass), we see the dependence mathematically:

a = GM/r²

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>A) Increase the voltage by adding a bigger battery </u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to Ohm's law

V = IR

where V is voltage, I is current and R is the resistance. If we write the equation for resistance we would get

R= V / I

Here we can see that Voltage is directly proportional to Resistance so in order to keep the balance if we increase the resistance then we must increase the voltage to keep the current constant.

The ________ on the axis (c2) forms a pivot point with the atlas (c1) that allows you to nod a "no."
grandymaker [24]
The dens or the odontoid process of the axis or the second cervical spine forms a pivot point with the atlas or the first cervical vertebrae that is responsible for the nodding and the rotational movements of the head. This is reinforced by ligaments and the atlanto-occipital joint that allows the head to make a nodding or up and down movement on the vertebral column.
