Hi:) why is the image formed on a plane mirror undistorted?

A plane mirror is flat, so light doesn’t go reflecting in different directions. That is what makes it undistorted. No, it is not true.

Answer:

The image formed by a plane mirror 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.

Also Its not true mirrors do show different shapes and sizes

PLEASE HELP ME I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS AND THIS IS TIMED

Explanation:

The circle has a radius r = 0.5 m, which means that its circumference C is

$C = 2\pi r = 2\pi(0.5\:\text{m}) = 3.14\:\text{m}$

One revolution means that the stopper travels a distance equal to the circumference of the circle so the velocity of the stopper is

$v = \dfrac{C}{t} =\dfrac{3.14\:\text{m}}{0.2\:\text{s}} = 15.7\:\text{m/s} \approx 16\:\text{m/s}$

A little boy is standing at the edge of a cliff 1000 m high. He throws a ball straight downward at an initial speed of 20 m/s, a

marin [14]

Answer:

The ball will be at 700 m above the ground.

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematic equation

$y(t) = \ y_0 \ + \ v_0 \ t \ + \frac{1}{2} \ a \ t^2$ .

where y(t) represent the height from the ground. For our problem, the initial height will be:

$y_0 \ = \ 1000 m$ .

The initial velocity:

$v_0 = - 20 \frac{m}{s}$ ,

take into consideration the minus sign, that appears cause the ball its thrown down. The same minus appears for the acceleration:

$a=-10\frac{m}{s}$

So, the equation for our problem its:

$y(t) = \ 1000 m \ - \ 20 \ \frac{m}{s} \ t \ - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ t^2$ .

Taking t=6 s:

$y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - \ 20 \ \frac{m}{s} \ * \ 6 \ s \ - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ * \ (6 s)^2$ .

$y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 120 m - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ * \ 36 s^2$ .

$y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 120 m - 180 m$ .

$y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 300 m$ .

$y(6 \ s) = \ 700 m$ .

So this its the height of the ball 6 seconds after being thrown.

An object located near the surface of Earth has a weight of a 245 N

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 24.5 kg and weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

Explanation:

Weight of the object on the surface of Earth, W = 245 N

On the surface of Earth, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

m is mass

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{245\ N}{10\ m/s^2}\\\\=24.5\ kg$

So, the mass of the object is 24.5 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on Mars, g' = 3.72 m/s²

Weight of the object on Mars,

W' =mg'

W' = 24.5 kg × 3.72 m/s²

= 91.14 N

So, the weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

find the time taken, if the speed of a train increased from 72 km/hr to 90 km/hr for 234 km. leave your answer in seconds

Airida [17]

Answer:

Time taken = 10400 s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the train, $u=72\textrm{ km/h}=72\times \frac{5}{18}=20\textrm{ m/s}$

Final speed of the train, $v=90\textrm{ km/h}=90\times \frac{5}{18}=25\textrm{ m/s}$

Displacement of the train, $S=234\textrm{ km}=234\times 1000=234000\textrm{ m}$

Using Newton's equation of motion,

$v - u = at\\a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Now, using Newton's equation of motion for displacement,

$v^{2}-u^{2}=2aS$

Now, plug in the value of $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$ in the above equation. This gives,

$v^{2}-u^{2}=2\times \frac{v-u}{t}\times S\\(v+u)(v-u)=\frac{2(v-u)S}{t}\\t=\frac{2(v-u)S}{(v+u)(v-u)}\\t=\frac{2S}{v+u}$

Now, plug in 234000 m for $S$ , 25 m/s for $v$ and 20 m/s for $u$ . Solve for $t$ .

$t=\frac{2S}{v+u}\\t=\frac{2\times 234000}{25+20}\\t=\frac{468000}{45}=10400\textrm{ s}$

Therefore, the time taken by the train is 10400 s.
