What is the minimum height of a planar mirror placed in a vertical plane 2m distant that will permit a person 2m tall to see the

mselves from head to toe?

Taya2010 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Height of mirror will be 1 m for complete image of person

Explanation:

We have given distance of person from plane mirror d = 2 m

And height of person = 2 m

We have to find the height of plane mirror which given full image of person

Height of mirror will be equal to half of height of person

So height of mirror =\frac{height\ of\ person}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1m

So height of mirror will be 1 m for complete image of person

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m

In a paragraph, contrast the characteristics between anorexia and bulimia
FinnZ [79.3K]
Bulimia nervosa is similar in many ways because the individual is obsessed with their weight and wants to continuously lose weight to achieve their idea of a 'perfect' body shape. But with bulimia, there are periods of binging and purging. This means that the individual with bulimia may go through a period where they eat an excessive amount of food and then purge by using exercise, medications or vomiting to get rid of the food.

A cat jumps off a piano that is 1.3m high. The initial velocity of the cat is 3m/s at an angle of 37degrees above the horizontal
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

x=1.75m

Explanation:

From the exercise we have that

y_{o}=1.3m\\v_{o}=3m/s, \beta  =37\\

<em><u>To find how far from the edge of the piano does the cat strike the floor, we need to calculate its time first </u></em>

y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

At the end of the motion y=0m

0=1.3+3sin(37)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}

Solving for t

t=-0.36 s or t=0.73s

Since the <u>time</u> can't be negative the answer is t=0.73

Knowing that we can calculate how far does the cat strike the floor

x=v_{ox}t=3cos(37)(0.73)=1.75m

A green truck is moving to the right. A red truck is moving to the left with a speed of 6 m/s. The mass of the red truck is 1,00
Contact [7]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of red truck = 1000 kg

m_2 = Mass of green truck= 3000 kg

u_1 = Initial Velocity of red truck = 6 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of green truck

v = Velocity with which they move together = 0

For elastic collision

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =0\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\frac{m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\frac{1000\times 6}{3000}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-2\ m/s

Velocity of the green truck is 2 m/s
