You stand 1.40 m in front of a wall and gaze downward at a small vertical mirror mounted on it. In this mirror you can see the r

eflection of your shoes. If your eyes are 1.70 m above your feet, through what angle should the mirror be tilted for you to see your eyes reflected in the mirror? (The location of the mirror remains the same, only its angle to the vertical is changed.)

Answer:

The angle is 31.26°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 1.40 m

Height = 1.70 m

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of angle

$tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{d}$

Here, $y = \dfrac{h}{2}$

$y=\dfrac{1.70}{2}=0.85\ m$

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta =\dfrac{0.85}{1.40}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}0.6071$

$\theta=31.26^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle is 31.26°.

A speed boat increases its speed uniformly from vi = 20.0 m/s to vf = 30.0 m/s in a distance of 2.00 x 10^2m. (a) Draw a coordin

a) See graph in attachment

b) The suvat equation to use is $v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as$

c) The acceleration is $a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}$

d) The acceleration is $1.25 m/s^2$

e) The time needed is 8 s

Explanation:

a)

For this part, find in attachment the diagram representing this situation.

Since we are not given any particular direction for the motion, we choose the x-direction as the direction of motion of the boat.

Then we have the following:

- The initial position of the boat is $x_i = 0$ , the origin

- The final position of the boat is $x_f = 200 m$

- The initial velocity of the boat is $v_i = 20.0 m/s$

- The final velocity of the boat is $v_f = 30.0 m/s$

Note that the arrow representing the final velocity is longer than that of the initial velocity, since the final velocity is larger.

b)

The motion of the speed boat is a uniformly accelerated motion (motion at constant acceleration), therefore we can use one of the suvat equations. In this particular problem, we know the following quantities:

$v_i = 20.0 m/s$ , the initial velocity

$v_f = 30.0 m/s$ , the final velocity

$s = x_f - x_i = 200 m$ , the displacement of the boat

Therefore, the equation that best can be use to find the acceleration is

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as$

where

$a$ is the acceleration

c)

Now we have to solve the equation

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as$

In order to find the acceleration.

This can be done by dividing both terms by $2s$ : this way, we find

$\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}=\frac{2as}{2s}$

And so the acceleration is

$a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}$

d)

Now we can use the equation found in part c) in order to find the acceleration.

We have the following data:

$v_i = 20.0 m/s$ , the initial velocity

$v_f = 30.0 m/s$ , the final velocity

$s = x_f - x_i = 200 m$ , the displacement of the boat

And substituting into the equation,

$a=\frac{30^2-20^2}{2(200)}=1.25 m/s^2$

e)

In order to find the time it takes the boat to travel the given distance, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v_f = v_i + at$

where:

$v_i$ is the initial velocity

$v_f$ is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Here we have:

$v_i = 20.0 m/s$

$v_f = 30.0 m/s$

$a=1.25 m/s^2$

Solving for t, we find:

$t=\frac{v_f-v_i}{a}=\frac{30-20}{1.25}=8 s$

Objects like apples, wood, and sponges are less dense than water. They will float. Many hollow things like empty bottles, balls, and balloons will also float.
