A girl stands 5m away from a large plane mirror. How far must she walk to be 2m away from her image?

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.

A box is pulled up a rough ramp that makes an angle of 22 degrees with the horizontal surface. The surface of the ramp is the x-
kifflom [539]

Magnitude of the force  of tension: 139 N

Explanation:

The surface of the ramp here is assumed to be the positive x-direction.

To solve this problem and find the magnitude of the force of tension, we have to analyze only the situation along the x-direction, since the force of tension lie in this direction.

There are three forces acting along the x-direction:

  • The force of tension, F_T, acting up along the plane
  • The force of friction, F_f=14.8 N, acting down along the plane
  • The component of the weight in the x-direction, F_{gx}, acting down along the plane

We know that the magnitude of the weight is

F_g=70.0 N

So its x-component is

F_{gx}=F_g sin \theta =(70.0)(sin 22^{\circ})=26.2 N

The net force along the x-direction can be written as

F_x = F_T-F_f-F_{gx}

And therefore, since the net force is 98 N, we can find the magnitude of the force of tension:

F_T=F_x+F_f+F_{gx}=98+14.8+26.2=139 N

What are the periodic variations in Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun that alter the way solar radiation is distributed
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

1. The precession of the equinoxes.

2. Changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

3. Variations in the eccentricity

Explanation:

These variations listed above;  the precession of the equinoxes (refers, changes in the timing of the seasons of summer and winter), this occurs on  a roughly about 26,000-year interval; changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, this occurs roughly in a 41,000-year interval; and changes in the eccentricity (that is a departure from a perfect circle) of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, occurring on a roughly 100,000-year timescale. which influences the mean annual solar radiation at the top of Earth’s atmosphere.
