-- The resistance of the heater is (volts/current) = 5 ohms

-- The heating (RMS) value of a sinusoidal AC is V(peak)/√2 .  For this particular alternator, V(peak)=100V, so the heating (RMS) equivalent is 70.71 V.

-- The heating power delivered to the electric heater is (E²/R).

Power = (100/√2)² / 5

Power = 5,000 / 5

<u>Power = 1,000 watts </u>

Suppose a police officer is 1/2 mile south of an intersection, driving north towards the intersection at 40 mph. At the same tim
blagie [28]

Answer:

75.36 mph

Explanation:

The distance between the other car and the intersection is,

x=x_{0}+V t \\ x=\frac{1}{2}+V t

The distance between the police car and the intersection is,

y=y_{0}+V t

y=\frac{1}{2}-40 t

(Negative sign indicates that he is moving towards the intersection)

Therefore the distance between them is given by,

z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}(\text { Using Phythogorous theorem })

z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)^{2} \ldots \ldots \ldots(1)

The rate of change is,

2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=2\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right) V+2\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)(-40)

2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=V+2 V^{2} t-40+3200 t \ldots \ldots \ldots

Now finding z when t=0, from (1) we have

z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V(0)\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40(0)\right)^{2}

z^{2}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \\ z=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \approx 0.7071

The officer's radar gun indicates 25 mph pointed at the other car then, \frac{d z}{d t}=25 when t=0, from

From (2) we get

2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40+3200(0)

2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40

35.36=V-40

V=35.36+40=75.36

Hence the speed of the car is 75.36 mph

A woman is 160160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing up
kipiarov [429]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A woman is 160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright.

Hint: Consider the ray diagram below, of the rays that enable her to see her feet and the top of her head.

Use what you know about the law of reflection, together with a bit geometry.

The missing Image is uploaded along this answer below.

Answer:

the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and illustrated in the image below,

From image 2;

The distance from the woman's eyes to the top of her head is represented as b and a represent the distance from her eyes to her feet.

Therefore, since her height is 160 cm

a + b = 160 ------ let this be equation 1

i.e AD + DG = 160 cm

Now, from the same image 2, we will notice that triangle ABC and tringle CBD are similar, so

∠ABC = ∠CBD

AC = CD

since AD = a and AC + CD = A

AC = CD = a/2

Also, triangle DEF and FEG are si,ilar

∠DEF = ∠FEG

so

DF = FG

since DG = b and DF + FG = b

DF = b/2

so the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which the woman can see her entire body while standing upright will be;

⇒ a/2 + b/2  

⇒ a + b / 2

from equation 1, a + b = 160

so

⇒ a + b / 2 = 160 / 2 = 80

Therefore, the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm
