Why do mirrors form inverted images?

2 answers:

Answer: Reflection from a Concave Mirror
When the object is far from the mirror, the image is inverted and at the focal point. The image is real light rays actually focus at the image location). ... As the object moves towards the mirror inside the focal point the image becomes virtual and upright behind the mirror.

Answer:

Explanation:

The image is real light rays actually focus at the image location). As the object moves towards the mirror the image location moves further away from the mirror and the image size grows (but the image is still inverted).

Avery likes to walk 30 feet in 10 seconds. What is her speed?

Sliva [168]

Answer:

If she is walking 30 feet every 10 seconds, that means she is walking 180 feet per minute. Multiply that by the 60 minutes in an hour, means she walks (180x60)= 10,800 feet an hour.

She walks 3 feet a second.

She walks 180 feet a minute.

She walks 10,800 feet an hour.

A wave is described by y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t), where x is in meters, y is in centimeters and t is in seconds. The angular wa

Mila [183]

Answer: 3 radians/meter.

Explanation:

The general sinusoidal function will be something like:

y = A*sin(k*x - ω*t) + C

Where:

A is the amplitude.

k is the wave number.

x is the spatial variable

ω is the angular frequency

t is the time variable.

C is the mid-value.

The rule that we can use to solve this problem, is that the argument of the sin( ) function must be in radians (or in degrees)

Then if x is in meters, the wave-number must be in radians/meters, so when these numbers multiply the "meters" part is canceled.

Then for the case of the function:

y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t)

Where x is in meters, the units of the wave number (the 3) must be in radians/meters. Then the angular wave number is 3 radians/meter.

A 2.45-kg frictionless block is attached to an ideal spring with force constant 355 N/m. Initially the spring is neither stretch

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A. A = 0.913 m

B. amax = 132.24m/s^2

C. Fmax = 324.01N

Explanation:

When the block is moving at the equilibrium point , its velocity is maximum.

A. To find the amplitude of the motion you use the following formula for the maximum velocity:

$v_{max}=A\omega$ (1)

vmax = maximum velocity = 11.0 m/s

A: amplitude of the motion = ?

w: angular frequency = ?

Then, you have to calculate the angular frequency of the motion, by using the following formula:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ (2)

k: spring constant = 355 N/m

m: mass of the object = 2.54 kg

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{355N/m}{2.45kg}}=12.03\frac{rad}{s}$

Next, you solve the equation (1) for A and replace the values of vmax and w:

$A=\frac{v}{\omega}=\frac{11.0m/s}{12.03rad/s}=0.913m$

The amplitude of the motion is 0.913m

B. The maximum acceleration of the block is given by:

$a_{max}=A\omega^2 = (0.913m)(12.03rad/s)^2=132.24\frac{m}{s^2}$

The maximum acceleration is 132.24 m/s^2

C. The maximum force is calculated by using the second Newton law and the maximum acceleration:

$F_{max}=ma_{max}=(2.45kg)(132.24m/s^2)=324.01N$

It is also possible to calculate the maximum force by using:

Fmax = k*A = (355N/m)(0.913m) = 324.01N

The maximum force exertedbu the spring on the object is 324.01 N

Which of the following is correct for speed?

Olin [163]

Answer:

Speed is a "scalar" quantity

(C) is the correct answer

An object could travel at 10 m/s to some point and then return to the origin at 10 m/s for an average speed of 10 m/s, however it's displacement over that time would be zero for a net velocity of zero.
