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.

A 11-inch candle is lit and burns at a constant rate of 0.9 inches per hour. Let t t represent the number of hours since the can
Serggg [28]

Answer: F(t) = 11 - 0.9(t)

Explanation:

We know the following:

The candle burns at a ratio given by:

Burning Ratio (Br)  = 0.9 inches / hour

The candle is 11 inches long.

To be able to create a function that give us how much on the candle remains after turning it after a time (t). We will need to know how much of the candle have been burned after t.

Let look the following equation:

Br = Candle Inches (D) / Time for the Candle to burn (T)      (1)

Where (1) is similar to the Velocity equation:

Velocity (V) = Distance (D)/Time(T)

This because is only a relation between a magnitude and time.

Let search for D on (1)

D = Br*T  (2)

Where D is how much candle has been burn in a specif time

To create a function that will tell us how longer remains of the candle after be given a variable time (t) we use the total lenght minus (2):

How much candle remains? ( F(t) ) = 11 inches - Br*t

F(t) = 11 - 0.9(t)

F(t) defines the remaining length of the candle t hours after being lit
