Answer:

Image is twice as large as the object, and inverted

Explanation:

When an object is placed in front of a mirror, the mirror produces an image.

The magnification of the image is a number telling how much the size of the image is enlarged/diminished with respect to the object.

It is given by

$M=\frac{y'}{y}$

where

M is the magnification

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

In this problem,

M = -2

This means that:

$y'=My\\y' = -2y$

So, we can conclude the following:

- The size of the image is twice the size of the real object

- The image is also inverted, because of the presence of the negative sign in the equation

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish.

Explanation:

due to refraction of light coming from the fish the fish will appear slightly above from its real position

So due to this refraction the spearfisher will throw the spear directly at the image of the fish due to which it will not reach the position of fish but it will reach the position above the fish.

So here we can say that the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish

Two identical small metal spheres with q1 > 0 and |q1| > |q2| attract each other with a force of magnitude 72.1 mN when se

Brrunno [24]

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$ (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

When the two spheres are brought in contact with each other, the charge equally redistribute among the two spheres, such that each sphere will have a charge of
