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.

At the beginning of a basketball game, the referee tosses the ball straight up with a speed of 4.6m/s. A player cannot touch the
maria [59]

Answer:

t=0.47s

Explanation:

the ball has uniformly accelerated movement due to gravity

Vo=initial speed=4.6m/s

g=gravity=-9.8m/s^2

Vf=final speed=0, the player must wait for the ball to stop. so the final speed will be 0

we can use the following ecuation

T=(Vf-Vo)/g

T=(0-4.6)/-9.8m/s^2

T=0.47s

What happens to the electrostatic force between two charged particles if the distance between them is doubled?
Stells [14]

According to Coulomb's Law , The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. So ,if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the  electrostatic force will become weak by one fourth of the original force.

Of the planets with atmospheres, which is the warmest?<br> a. Venusb. Earthc. Marsd. Jupiter
tangare [24]

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is full of gases that move at high speeds in giant eddies. Its atmosphere consists mostly of gases such as hydrogen that generate a temperature fluctuation of around 128K.

On Earth, due to the protection of the Ozone Layer and the presence of Nitrogen and Oxygen, the temperature fluctuates by an average of 300K.

In the case of Mars, its atmosphere is thin, mostly composed of Carbon Dioxide and Diatomic Nitrogen, which allow a temperature oscillation of 210K.

In contrast, the atmosphere of Venus is thick and is composed of carbon dioxide that does not allow the sun's rays to escape, generating an extreme 'greenhouse effect' with temperatures ranging from 737K,

Correct Answer is A.
