lord [1]3 years ago

Answer:

The girl needs to walk 4m closer to the mirror if she must be 2 m away from her image.

Explanation:

Images formed by plane mirrors is due to reflection of light Plane mirrors form only virtual or imaginary images. The image formed by a plane mirror is equidistant from the mirror as the object is from the mirror. This means that the distance of the girl from the mirror which is 5m is equal to the distance of her image from the mirror.

The distance of the girl from her image when she stands 5 m from the mirror is therefore, 5m + 5m = 10 m

In order for her to be 2 m away from her image, she needs to sand at a distance half her distance from her image, that is 1/2 * 2m = 1m

Therefore, the girl needs to walk 5m - 1m = 4m closer to the mirror if she has to be 2 m away from her image.

What is the efficiency of a tractor that has a work output of 300j and a work input of 400j
Sauron [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 75 %

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

To measure efficiency of a machine, compare the work output to work input.

Efficiency = Work output/ work output × 100 %

                = 300/400 × 100

                = 75 %

A centrifuge in a medical laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,400 rev/min. When switched off, it rotates through 52.0 re
eduard

The constant angular acceleration (in rad/s2) of the centrifuge is 194.02 rad/s².

<h3> Constant angular acceleration</h3>

Apply the following kinematic equation;

ωf² = ωi² - 2αθ

where;

  • ωf is the final angular velocity when the centrifuge stops = 0
  • ωi is the initial angular velocity
  • θ is angular displacement
  • α is angular acceleration

ωi = 3400 rev/min x 2π rad/rev x 1 min/60s = 356.05 rad/s

θ = 52 rev x 2π rad/rev = 326.7 rad

0 = ωi² - 2αθ

α = ωi²/2θ

α = ( 356.05²) / (2 x 326.7)

α = 194.02 rad/s²

Thus, the constant angular acceleration (in rad/s2) of the centrifuge is 194.02 rad/s².
