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.

The Earth's gravity keeps us from flying out to space. How can you explain that we have a stronger gravitational attraction to t
julia-pushkina [17]
It's the fourth choice.

This is because, since we are closer to the Earth, the Earth will have a stronger gravitational pull on us since again, we are closer.
That also explains tides, but that's just getting off topic. Hope I helped.

A box is sitting on a 2 m long board at one end. A worker picks up the board at the end with the box so it makes an angle with t
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the box is on the ramp , component of its weight along the ramp

= mg sinθ

Friction force acting on it in upward direction

=μ mg cosθ

For sliding

μ mg cosθ < mg sinθ

μ cosθ < sinθ

.5 x cos35 < sin35

.41 < .57

So the box will slide

When sliding starts , kinetic friction acts

Net force in downward direction

mgsinθ - μ mg cosθ

acceleration

= gsinθ - μ g cosθ

= 5.62 - .3 x 9.8 x cos35

= 5.62 - 2.4

= 3.22 m /s²
