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.

Two parallel plates that are initially uncharged are separated by 1.7 mm, have only air between them, and each have surface area
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

5.63\cdot 10^{-6} C

Explanation:

The capacitor of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

A is the area of each plate

d is the separation between the plates

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

The energy stored in a capacitor instead is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^2}{C}

where

Q is the charge stored in each plate

Substituting the expression we found for C inside the last formula,

U=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^2 d}{\epsilon_0 A}

And re-arranging it

Q=\sqrt{\frac{2U\epsilon_0 A}{d}}

Now if we substitute

d=1.7 mm=0.0017 m\\A=16 cm^2 = 16\cdot 10^{-4} m^2\\U = 1.9 J

We find the charge stored on the capacitor:

Q=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.9)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(16\cdot 10^{-4})}{0.0017}}=5.63\cdot 10^{-6} C

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery and becomes fully charged. The capacitor is then disconnected, and the sepa
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance is as follows as;

C=\frac{\epsilon _{0}A}{d}

Here, C is the capacitance, \epsilon _{0} is the permittivity of free space, A is the area and d is the distance between the parallel plate capacitor.

It can be concluded from the above expression, the capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance. According to the given problem, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery and the distance between the plates is increased. Then, the capacitance of the given capacitor will decrease in this case.

The expression for the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor is as follows;

E=\frac{Q^{2}}{2C}

Here, E is the energy stored in the capacitor, C is the capacitance and Q is the charge.

Energy stored in the given capacitor is inversely proportional to the capacitor. The charge on the capacitor is constant. In the given problem, as the distance between the parallel plates is being separated, the energy stored in this capacitor increases.

Therefore, the option (c) is correct.
