How is an image formed by a plane mirror

1 answer:

8 0

Is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come.

A solid ball is released from rest and slides down a hillside that slopes downward at 65.0" from the horizontal

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Setting reference frame so that the x axis is along the incline and y is perpendicular to the incline
X: mgsin65 - F = mAx 
Y: N - mgcos65 = 0 (N is the normal force on the incline) N = mgcos65 (which we knew) 
Moment about center of mass: 
Fr = Iα 
Now Ax = rα 
and F = umgcos65 
mgsin65 - umgcos65 = mrα -------------> gsin65 - ugcos65 = rα (this is the X equation m's cancel) 
umgcos65(r) = 0.4mr^2(α) -----------> ugcos65(r) = 0.4r(rα) (This is the moment equation m's cancel) 
ugcos65(r) = 0.4r(gsin65 - ugcos65) ( moment equation subbing in X equation for rα) 
ugcos65 = 0.4(gsin65 - ugcos65) 
1.4ugcos65 = 0.4gsin65 
1.4ucos65 = 0.4sin65 
u = 0.4sin65/1.4cos65 
u = 0.613

A cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12m/s when he passes a stationary bus.The bus starts moving just as the cyclist passes

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A.) 8 seconds

B.) 16 seconds

C.) 48 m

Explanation:

Given that a cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12 m/s

and the bus accelerates uniformly at 1.5ms²

A.) The bus has the following parameters

Acceleration a = 1.5 m/s^2

Initial velocity U = 0. Since the bus is starting from rest.

Final velocity V = 12 m/s

Use equation one of linear motion.

V = U + at

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12 = 0 + 1.5t

1.5t = 12

t = 12/1.5

t = 8 seconds

Therefore, the bus reach the same speed as the cyclist at 8 seconds.

B.) For the cyclist moving at constant speed, acceleration a = 0. Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Since a = 0, the equation is reduced to:

h = Ut.

Also, for the bus,

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Equate the two equations since the h is the same

Ut = Ut + 1/2at^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

12t = 0 + 1/2 × 1.5t^2

12t = 0.75t^2

0.75t = 12

t = 12/0.75

t = 16 seconds

Therefore, the bus takes 16 seconds to catch the cyclist

C.) Use third equation of linear motion.

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

Where s = distance

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12^2 = 0 + 2 × 1.5 S

144 = 3S

S = 144/3

S = 48 m

The forces on a car are balanced.state and explain the resultant force on the car

Vanyuwa [196]

there will no resultant force

Explanation:

this is because if the forces are balanced on opposite direction. then they cancel each other out

5 newton's ---------> <--------- 5 newton's

then both forces will cancel each other out as a result there is no resultant force and the newton's laws states that if there is no resultant the object will continue in its state of rest (remains there) or it will in continue in its uniform motion in a straight line.

I hope you understand,

1. Do alto de uma plataforma com 15m de altura, é lançado horizontalmente um projéctil. Pretende-se atingir um alvo localizado n

sveta [45]

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

$(1).\: x =v_0t$

$(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

where $v_0$ is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, $y=0$ ; therefore,

$0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

solving for $t$ we get:

$t= 1.75s.$

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

$50m = v_0(1.75s)$

which gives

$\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}$

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

$v_x = 28.58m/s.$

the vertical component of the velocity is

$v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.$

which gives a speed $v$ of

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$

$\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}$
