Answer:

42 degrees, virtual image, same size as the object (26 cm)

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that:

- When a ray of light is incident on a flat surface (such as the plane mirror), the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

So, since in this case the angle of incidence is 42 degrees, the angle of reflection is also 42 degrees.

Moreover, the image formed by a plane mirror is always:

- Virtual (on the same side as the object)

- The same size as the object

So in this case, since the object's size is 26 cm, the image's size is also 26 cm.

I'm not accurately sure if you're asking for why the bulb of a thermometer is in a cylindrical shape. So let me continue. The shape of the which is thin and cylindrical in the shape is the increase of the effect of mercury in the tube to rise and fall depending on the contact temperature.

What is the difference in PE
Blababa [14]

Answer:

831.4 J

Explanation:

Info given:

mass adult: 82.5kg

mass child: 14.7kg

height of wall: 1.25m

g = 9.81m/s^2

PE = mgh

For adult:

mgh = (82.5kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1.25m) = 1011.65 J

For child:

mgh = (14.7kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1.25m) = 180.25 J

Difference in PE: 1011.65 J - 180.25 J = 831.4 J

Which one of the following statements is true? Explain.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

All the given option is false.

Explanation:

A)

This is not true for all the materials like composite because the Poisson ratio for composite material can be negative that is why positive tensile stress may produce positive lateral strain.

B)

This is not true for all the material because the Poisson ratio for some material can be positive  that is why positive tensile stress may produce negative lateral strain.

C)

The explanation is same as option A.

D)

This is not true for all the materials ,It is valid only up to elastic limit .After the elastic limit the strain and stress does not follow linear path.

E)

This is not true for all the materials because some materials like composite is having negative value of Young's modulus.

Therefore all the given option is false.
