The image is at 2.5 m behind the mirror (virtual image)

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the mirror equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{d_o}+\frac{1}{d_i}

where

f is the focal length of the mirror

d_o is the distance between the object and the mirror

d_i is the distance between the image and the mirror

For a plane mirror, the focal length is infinite:

f=\infty

And in this problem, the distance of the object from the mirror is

d_o = 2.5 m

Substituting and solving for d_i, we find the location of the image:

0=\frac{1}{d_o}+\frac{1}{d_i}\\d_i = -d_o = -2.5 m

And the negative sign means that the image is located behind the mirror, so it is virtual.

Location A receives
Vlad1618 [11]

Location A receives more rainfall than Location B due to the rain shadow effect.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Rain shadow effect is caused due to the presence of mountains.
  • A rain shadow area is an area of land that has been forced to become dry, devoid of any vegetation growth due to the blockage of precipitation by mountains. These rain shadow areas will have a dry climate.
  • The other side of the mountain would receive plenty of precipitation and therefore would be flourished with plant growth. These areas will have a cool and wet climate.
  • In this case, Location A is on the other side of the mountain and so receives more rainfall or precipitation. Meanwhile, Location B is on the rain shadow region and so receives less rainfall.

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. After it becomes charged, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery a
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The potential difference between the plates increases

Explanation:

As we know that the capacitance of the capacitor is given by:

q = CV         (1)

where

q = charge

C = capacitance

V = Voltage or Potential Difference

Also, the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{D}           (2)

where

\epsilon_{o} = permittivity of free space or vacuum

A = Area of the plates

D = Separation distance between the plates

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

V = \frac{qD}{A\epsilon_{o}}

Now, from the above eqn  we can say that:

Potential difference depends directly on the separation distance between the plates of the capacitor and is inversely dependent on the area of the plates of the capacitor.

Therefore, after disconnecting, if the separation between the plates is increased the potential difference across it also increases.

Why must the height of the meniscus in the graduated cylinder match the height of the water in the tub when measuring volume?
galben [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

First, in order for you to understand, remember the basic concept of meniscus in graduated cylinder.

<em>"The meniscus is the curve seen at the top of a liquid in response to its container. The meniscus can be either concave or convex, depending on the surface tension of the liquid and its adhesion to the wall of the container".</em>

Now, according to this definition, and for water, the reading of the volume must be donde at the bottom of the curve of the meniscus. This is because the water  gives a concave curve.

If you read it and matches the height of water, you are getting two results:

One, get an accurate value or volume, because it's been done at eye level.

The second fact is that when you do the reading this way, The total pressure is made equal to the atmospheric pressure by adjusting the height of the cylinder until the water level is equal.

Answer:

Width of sound beam is 7.557 m

Explanation:

First we will calculate the wave length from given data:

λ=v/f

Were:

v is the speed

f is the frequency

\lambda=\frac{340}{30*10^3}\\ \lambda=0.01133 m

We considered the opening long and narrow, Using single slit diffraction formula:

mλ=dsinΘ

where:

d is the crack width

m is the order

Θ is angle

Considering m=1, The angle between first minimum from center of beam is:

\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})\\\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{1*0.01133}{30*10^{-2}})\\ \theta=2.164^o

The width of beam is:

tanΘ=y/L

tan\theta=\frac{w/2}{L}\\ w=2L\ tan\theta\\w=2*100*tan 2.164\\w=7.557 m

Width=7.557 m
