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.

If the intensity of light that is incident on a piece of metal is increased, what else will be increased? Choose all that apply.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

explained

Explanation:

When the intensity of light is increased on a piece of metal only the number of electron ejected will increase because all other things independent of intensity of light.

Light below certain frequency will not cause any electron emission no matter how intense.

The intensity produces more electron but does not change the maximum kinetic energy of electrons.

Work function is independent of the intensity of light, because it is an intrinsic property of a material.

A tube is sealed at both ends and contains a 0.0100-m long portion of liquid. The length of the tube is large compared to 0.0100

Ahat [919]

Answer:

31.321 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Tube length

A = Area of tube

$\rho$ = Density of fluid

v = Fluid velocity

m = Mass = $\rho Al$

Centripetal force is given by

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{L}\\ F=\dfrac{m(\omega L)^2}{L}\\ F=m\omega^2\\ F= 0.01A\rho\omega^2L$

Pressure is given by

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}=\rho gL\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.01A\rho\omega^2L}{A}=\rho gL\\\Rightarrow 0.01\omega^2=g\\\Rightarrow \omega^2=\dfrac{g}{0.01}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{0.01}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.81}{0.01}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=31.321\ rad/s$

The angular speed of the tube is 31.321 rad/s

You want to slide a 0.39 kg book across a table. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .21, what force is required to move t

uranmaximum [27]

Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together. This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for. We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:

$F_{NoFric}=ma=0.39kg \times0.18 \frac{m}{s^2} =0.0702N$

The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction. Here the normal force is just its weight, mg

$F_{Fric}=0.39kg \times 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 0.21=0.803N$

Now the total force required is:

0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N
