Answer:

A mirror is an image reflecting an object.

Explanation:

yes a mirror is reflective

A mirror is a reflector of the wave. When light waves reflect the flat surface of a mirror, the same curvature and vergence are retained, in equal but opposite direction, by these waves as by the original waves.

Coating a piece of glass on one side with glistening metals can convert the glass into a mirror that mirrors light. Window glass may reflect only 8% of the light, while mirrors can display 95% of the light. The glass in a mirror is generally covered in a silver or aluminum layer. dark material is placed on the back to prevent the tearing of the metal (reacting with the air and turning dull). The other side of the glass can be a mirror or a simple glass. This can be used to make windows easily visible, but difficult to view.

Why isn't pluto considered a planet anymore?

aivan3 [116]

The answer is. It did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet.

1. It is in orbit around the Sun

2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium

3. It has 'cleared the neighborhood' around its orbit

Pluto has not 'cleared its neighborhood'

A(n) 83 kg fisherman jumps from a dock into a 139 kg rowboat at rest on the West side of the dock. If the velocity of the fisher

Anna71 [15]

here we can say that there is no external force on fisherman and dock

so here we will use momentum conservation theory

As per momentum conservation

initial momentum of fisherman + boat = final momentum of fisherman + boat

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

now we will have

$83(3.1) + 139(0) = 83 v + 139 v$

$257.3 = 222v$

$v = 1.16 m/s$

so the speed of boat and fisherman will be 1.16 m/s

The element selenium (Se) bonds with chlorine (Cl) to make the formula SeCl2 Chlorine is more electronegative than selenium. Wha

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Selenium dichloride

Explanation:

Selenium (Se) and Chlorine (Cl) are both elements capable of combining together to form a compound with the chemical formula; SeCl2. Since the chlorine atom is more electronegative than selenium atom, the chlorine pulls more electrons towards itself to form an IONIC bond.

The SeCl2 compound formed is called Selenium dichloride as two atoms of Chlorine are needed to combine with one atom of Selenium to form the compound.

What controls the traits an organism has?

Charra [1.4K]

The Traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, in other words by its genotype. Variant copies of a gene are called alleles, and an individuals genotype is the sum of all the alleles inherited from the parents.
