A plane mirror of circular shape with radius r=20cm is fixed to the ceiling. A bulb is to be placed on the axis of the mirror. A

circular area of r=1m on the floor is to be illuminated after reflection of light from mirror.The height of the room is 3m.What is maximum distance from the centre of the mirror and the bulb so that the required area is illuminated?

Answer:

0.75 m

Explanation:

Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.

The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle.  The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid.  If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle.  This triangle and the small triangle are similar.  So we can say:

x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2

Solving for x:

2x = 0.4 (3 + x)

2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x

1.6 x = 1.2

x = 0.75

So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.

What happens in a tug of war if the net forces are balanced and why?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Balanced forces are responsible for unchanging motion. Balanced forces are forces where the effect of one force is cancelled out by another. A tug of war, where each team is pulling equally on the rope, is an example of balanced forces. The forces exerted on the rope are equal in size and opposite in direction.

a cylinder has a radius of 2.1cm and a length of 8.8cm .total charge 6.1 x 10^-7C is distributed uniformly throughout. the volum
7nadin3 [17]

The answer for the following problem is explained below.

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × 10^{-1} C.

Explanation:

Given:

radius (r) =2.1 cm = 2.1 ×10^{-2} m

height (h) =8.8 cm = 8.8 ×10^{-2} m

total charge (q) =6.1×10^{-7} C

To solve:

volume charge density (ρ)

We know;

<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>

volume of cylinder = π ×r  × r × h

volume of cylinder =3.14 × 2.1 × 2.1 ×10^{-4} × 8.8 ×10^{-2}

volume of cylinder (v) = 122.23 ×10^{-6}

<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>

ρ = 6.1×10^{-7} ÷   122.23 ×10^{-6}

<u>ρ = 0.04 × </u>10^{-1}<u> C</u>

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × 10^{-1} C.

What likely happens to the hart rate as the cardiac mucle gets stronger
Kaylis [27]
The heart rate will likely decrease. As the cardiac muscle, or heart, gets stronger, it takes less effort to pump more blood. As a result, the heart will probably beat less, decreasing the heart rate. This is why athletes often have lower heart rates than the average person.
