A plane mirror of circular shape with radius r=20cm is fixed to the ceiling. A bulb is to be placed on the axis of the mirror. A
KIM [24]

Answer:

0.75 m

Explanation:

Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.

The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle.  The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid.  If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle.  This triangle and the small triangle are similar.  So we can say:

x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2

Solving for x:

2x = 0.4 (3 + x)

2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x

1.6 x = 1.2

x = 0.75

So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.

Physics Homework MathPhys homie if you see this pls help
cluponka [151]

Answer:

1. -8.20 m/s²

2. 73.4 m

3. 19.4 m

Explanation:

1. Apply Newton's second law to the car in the y direction.

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Apply Newton's second law to the car in the x direction.

∑F = ma

-F = ma

-Nμ = ma

-mgμ = ma

a = -gμ

Given μ = 0.837:

a = -(9.8 m/s²) (0.837)

a = -8.20 m/s²

2. Given:

v₀ = 34.7 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -8.20 m/s²

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 m/s)² = (34.7 m/s)² + 2 (-8.20 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 73.4 m

3. Since your braking distance is the same as the car in front of you, the minimum safe following distance is the distance you travel during your reaction time.

d = v₀t

d = (34.7 m/s) (0.56 s)

d = 19.4 m

2 (a) A plane from airport A flies 280 km to the east to airport B. The plane then travelled north to airport C, 190 km away. (i
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

See attached diagram

280 km   east then 190 km north

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant displacement

d^2 = 280^2 + 190^2

d = 338.4 km

Angle will be    arctan ( 190/280) = 34.16 °

A machine accelerates a 5 kg missile from rest to a speed of 5 km/s. The net force accelerating the missile 500,000 N. How long
Gnoma [55]
Final velocity = 5km/sec = 5000 m/sec
Initial velocity = 0, mass = 5kg and force = 500,000 N
F = m(Vf-Vi)/time
Time = m(Vf-Vi)/force = 5*5000/500000 = 0.05 seconds
So, it takes 0.05 sec to arrive at the speed of 5km/s.
