An extraterrestrial creature is standing in front of plane mirror. The height of this creature is H and we know that this creatu

re has eyes positioned h below the top of its head. This creature sees its reflection which fit exactly the mirror, it means, this creature can just see the top of head and the bottom of its feet (or whatever it uses for motion). We can conclude that the top of a mirror is exactly:________
a. H/2 above the ground
b. H above the ground
c. (H-h/2) above the ground
d. (H-h) above the ground
e. We can not guess anything without information about the nature of this creature.

Answer:

c. (H-h/2) above the ground

Explanation:

The mirror must be at least half as tall as the alien, and its base must be located at half of the distance between the alien's eyes and the ground (assuming that the alien doesn't float or levitate).

This question is about the Law of Reflection which states that the angle of reflection = angle of incidence.

I attached an image that can help you understand the concept, although the alien is not included.

In an automobile collision, a 44-kilogram passenger moving at 15 meters per second is brought to rest by an air bag during a 0.1
const2013 [10]

Answer:

6,600N

Explanation:

According to second law of motion, Force = mass × acceleration

If acceleration = change in velocity/time = 15/0.10

Acceleration = 150m/s²

Given mass = 44kg

Force = 44× 150

Force = 6,600N

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the passenger during this time is 6,600N

What is the current through a 11v bulb with a power of 99w
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

9.01amp

Explanation:

Power = V^2/R

Given that v = 11volts, P = 99watts

99 = 11^2/R

11×11 = 99R

121= 99R

R = 121/99

R= 1.22ohms

From ohms Law; V = IR

11volts = I × 1.22ohms

I = 11/1.23

I = 9.01 amp

Which one of the following temperatures is equal to 5°C?
natali 33 [55]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 278 K

Explanation :

We are given temperature 5^oC.

Now the conversion factor used for the temperature is,

K=^oC+273

where, K is kelvin and ^oC is Celsius.

Now put the value of temperature, we get

K=5^oC+273=278K

Therefore, the temperature 278 K is equal to the 5^oC

The magnitude of electrical force between a pair of charged particles is ____ as much when the particles are moved half as far a
Gnesinka [82]

The magnitude of the electrical force between a pair of charged particles is 4 Times as much when the particles are moved half as far apart.

This can be easily understood by Columb's law,

F_{new} = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

which state's that the amount of electrical force experienced by two charged particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

∴ \frac{F_{new} }{F_{old} } = \frac{Distance_{new}^{2}  }{Distance_{old}^{2}  }

Now, we know the new distance is half the original distance,

F_{new} = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{\frac{r}{2}^{2} } \\F_{new} = 4\frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{new} = 4F_{old}

The electrical force of attraction or electrostatic force of attraction between two charged particles refers to the amount of attractive or repulsive force that exists between the two charges. This can be calculated by Columb's Law.

A charged particle in physics is a particle that has an electric charge. It might be an ion, such as a molecule or atom having an excess or shortage of electrons in comparison to protons. The same charge is thought to be shared by an electron, a proton, or another primary particle.
