Why can you see your own reflected image in a mirror but not on a dry, painted wall?

Physics

A wall uses diffuse reflection while a mirror uses specular reflection. For example, when parallel light rays enter a mirror, they remain parallel when exiting the mirror, allowing you to see a reflection of the light rays. On the contrary, when incident light rays enter a wall which is painted, the rays scatter, not allowing you to see anything but a painted wall.

The magnetic field at the equator points north. if you throw a positively charged object (for example, a baseball with some elec
asambeis [7]
Recall the equation for magnetic force:

F = qv x B          *x is cross product, not separate variable!

If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.

Hope this helps!

An aluminum cylinder weighing 30 N, 6 cm in diameter and 40 cm long, is falling concentrically through a long vertical sleeve of
Georgia [21]

Answer: Velocity terminal = 0.093m/s

Explanation:

1. We start by evaluating the gap distance between the two cylinders as h = R(sleeve) - R(cylinder)

= (0.0604/2 - 0.06/2)m

= 2×10^-4

Surface are of the cylinder in the drop, which is required in order to evaluate the shearing stress can be expressed as A(cylinder) = π.d.L

= (π×0.06×0.4)m²

= 0.075m²

Since the force of the cylinder's weight is going to balance the shearing force on the walls, we can express the next equation and derive terminal velocity from it.

Shearing stress = u×V.terminal/h = 0.86×V/0.0002

= 4300Vterminal

Therefore, Fw = shearing stress × A

30N = 4300Vterminal × 0.075

V. terminal = 30/4300 m.s

V. terminal = 0.093m/s

klasskru [66]
Potential energy<span> is the </span>energy<span> that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. It is calculated by the expression PE = mgh where mg is the weight of the book and h is the height. It is calculated as follows:

PE = 50(1) = 50 J
</span>PE = 50(1.5) = 75 J
PE = 50(2) = 100 J
