Answer:

0.29

Explanation:

We can find the position of the image by using the mirror equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$

where:

f is the focal length of the mirror

p is the distance of the object from the mirror

q is the distance of the image from the mirror

For the mirror in this problem:

f = -12.7 cm (the focal length of a convex mirror is negative)

p = 31.3 cm (distance of the object)

Solving for q, we find the position of the image:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{-12.7}-\frac{1}{31.3}=-0.111 cm^{-1}\\q=\frac{1}{-0.111}=-9.1 cm$

And so, the magnification of the image is:

$M=-\frac{q}{p}$

And substituting,

$M=-\frac{-9.1}{31.3}=0.29$

Which means that the image is upright (positive sign) and diminished (M is smaller than 1).

Joshua was driving to a friend’s house to study. During his trip, he started on pavement. At one point, he hit an ice patch on t

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.

Explanation:

Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.

$F_{f} = -\mu N$

Since we're talking about the same car, the value of $N$ will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.

After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.

What is the relationship between thickness of lens and focal length?

Ymorist [56]

Thick lens will have shorter and consequently thin lens will have greater focal length. Because, For a thick lens, the optical path length of the light is more, than for a thin lens, thus, the bending of light will be more in case of a thicker lens. Consequently, it has a shorter focal length.

What type of plate boundary do most volcanoes occur along

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates) creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.
