How long is the image of a metrestick formed by a plane mirror?

1 answer:

7 0

A plane mirror doesn't change the apparent size or shape of things.

-- If the meter stick is held parallel to the mirror, or is lying on the mirror,
then its image in the mirror is 1 meter long.

-- If the meter stick is held perpendicular to the mirror, or is standing on
the mirror, or pointing directly at it, then its image in the mirror has no length.

Water in a tank is pressurized by air and pressure measured using a multi-fluid manometer. Determine the gage pressure of air in

sattari [20]

Answer:

The gauge pressure of air is 110 kpa

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure, $P_{atm}$ = 101 Kpa

$P_{gauge} + \rho_w gh_1 + \rho_o gh_2 -\rho_{Hg} gh_3 =P_{atm}$

$P_{gauge} = P_{atm} - \rho_w gh_1 - \rho_o gh_2 +\rho_{Hg} gh_3$

where;

ρw is the density of water = 1000 kg/m³

ρo is the density of oil = 800 kg/m³

ρHg is the density of mercury = 13,600 kg/m³

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$P_{gauge} = 101,000 - (1000* 9.8*0.2) - (800* 9.8*0.3) +(13,600* 9.8*0.46)\\\\P_{gauge} = 101,000 - 1960 - 2352 + 13610.26\\\\P_{gauge} = 110,298.26 pa$

Therefore, the gauge pressure of air is 110 kpa

the moon revolves around the earth in a nearly circular orbit kept by gravitational force exerted by the earth work done will be

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Zero because the applied force is perpendicular to the motion of the object.

No work is done on an object moving is a circular path about a central attractive force.

Any work done in such a case would result in a change in the orbit.
