M=-2 the imagine equals what?

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
8 0

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

Explain the relationship between resistance and the velocity of shortening.
butalik [34]
The velocity of shortening refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. The relationship between the resistance and velocity of shortening is inverse. The greater the resistance, the shorter the velocity of shortening and the smaller the resistance, the larger the velocity of shortening.

Hopefully this help :)

At a department store, you adjust the mirrors in the dressing room so that they are parallel and 6.2 ft apart. You stand 1.8 ft
barxatty [35]

Answer:

<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>

<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>

Explanation:

Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft

difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft

a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.

According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,

your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>

b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.

the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,

the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,

therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>

olasank [31]

Engineers have designed experimental cars that use liquid hydrogen for fuel instead of gasoline. this is an example of Substitution.


Substitution is the process where one thing replaces other for a particular purpose. here liquid hydrogen is replacing the gasoline for fuel in car. hence the correct word to fill is Substitution.
