This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A woman is 160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright.

Hint: Consider the ray diagram below, of the rays that enable her to see her feet and the top of her head.

Use what you know about the law of reflection, together with a bit geometry.

The missing Image is uploaded along this answer below.

Answer:

the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and illustrated in the image below,

From image 2;

The distance from the woman's eyes to the top of her head is represented as b and a represent the distance from her eyes to her feet.

Therefore, since her height is 160 cm

a + b = 160 ------ let this be equation 1

i.e AD + DG = 160 cm

Now, from the same image 2, we will notice that triangle ABC and tringle CBD are similar, so

∠ABC = ∠CBD

AC = CD

since AD = a and AC + CD = A

AC = CD = a/2

Also, triangle DEF and FEG are si,ilar

∠DEF = ∠FEG

so

DF = FG

since DG = b and DF + FG = b

DF = b/2

so the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which the woman can see her entire body while standing upright will be;

⇒ a/2 + b/2  

⇒ a + b / 2

from equation 1, a + b = 160

so

⇒ a + b / 2 = 160 / 2 = 80

Therefore, the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

is it possible that the philippines can solely rely from geothermal energy? state your opinion why or why not?​
andriy [413]

Answer:

It is possible that the Philippines depends exclusively on geothermal energy.

Explanation:

The Philippines is located in the Pacific circle of fire, which allows this country to be a region with a large number of villagers and with great seismic activity, which makes the Philippines a region with great potential for geothermal energy. This is possible thanks to the great underground heat that the region presents, making it able to depend entirely on geothermal energy, if investments and technology capable of boosting this energy sector have been stimulated.

2. An athlete of average size is hanging from the end of a 20 m long rope, which has a mass of 4 kg and is attached to a hook in
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  t = 0.319 s

Explanation:

With the sudden movement of the athlete a pulse is formed that takes time to move along the rope, the speed of the rope is given by

             v = √T/λ

Linear density is

           λ = m / L

           λ = 4/20

           λ = 0.2 kg / m

The tension in the rope is equal to the athlete's weight, suppose it has a mass of m = 80 kg

           T = W = mg

           T = 80 9.8

           T = 784 N

The pulse rate is

          v = √(784 / 0.2)

          v = 62.6 m / s

The time it takes to reach the hook can be searched with kinematics

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

          t = 20 / 62.6

          t = 0.319 s
