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

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

270 μA

Explanation:

Use the magnetic field due to long, straight wire and solve for current I.

B= \frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi r}

I= \frac{2\pi r B}{\mu_0}

plug in the values

I= \frac{2\pi(5.40\times10^{-2})\times10\times10^{-6}\times10^{-4}}{4\pi\times10^{-7}}

= 2.7×10^{-4)×10^6

=270 μA

The current that flows in the  heart is 270 μA

(a) Consider the initial-value problem dA/dt = kA, A(0) = A0 as the model for the decay of a radioactive substance. Show that, i
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

a) t = -\frac{ln(2)}{k}

b) See the proof below

A(t) = A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}

c) t = 3T \frac{ln(2)}{ln(2)}= 3T

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following differential equation:

\frac{dA}{dt}= kA

With the initial condition A(0) = A_o

We can rewrite the differential equation like this:

\frac{dA}{A} =k dt

And if we integrate both sides we got:

ln |A|= kt + c_1

Where c_1 is a constant. If we apply exponential for both sides we got:

A = e^{kt} e^c = C e^{kt}

Using the initial condition A(0) = A_o we got:

A_o = C

So then our solution for the differential equation is given by:

A(t) = A_o e^{kt}

For the half life we know that we need to find the value of t for where we have A(t) = \frac{1}{2} A_o if we use this condition we have:

\frac{1}{2} A_o = A_o e^{kt}

\frac{1}{2} = e^{kt}

Applying natural log we have this:

ln (\frac{1}{2}) = kt

And then the value of t would be:

t = \frac{ln (1/2)}{k}

And using the fact that ln(1/2) = -ln(2) we have this:

t = -\frac{ln(2)}{k}

Part b

For this case we need to show that the solution on part a can be written as:

A(t) = A_o 2^{-t/T}

For this case we have the following model:

A(t) = A_o e^{kt}

If we replace the value of k obtained from part a we got:

k = -\frac{ln(2)}{T}

A(t) = A_o e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{T} t}

And we can rewrite this expression like this:

A(t) = A_o e^{ln(2) (-\frac{t}{T})}

And we can cancel the exponential with the natural log and we have this:

A(t) = A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}

Part c

For this case we want to find the value of t when we have remaining \frac{A_o}{8}

So we can use the following equation:

\frac{A_o}{8}= A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}

Simplifying we got:

\frac{1}{8} = 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}

We can apply natural log on both sides and we got:

ln(\frac{1}{8}) = -\frac{t}{T} ln(2)

And if we solve for t we got:

t = T \frac{ln(8)}{ln(2)}

We can rewrite this expression like this:

t = T \frac{ln(2^3)}{ln(2)}

Using properties of natural logs we got:

t = 3T \frac{ln(2)}{ln(2)}= 3T

A 1.0 meter long rod is held horizontally in the east-west direction on a distant planet and is dropped from a height of 1.23 m.
enyata [817]

Answer:

The induced emf between two end is 34.02 \times 10^{-5} V

Explanation:

Given:

Length of rod l = 1 m

Height h = 1.23 m

Magnetic field B = 6.93 \times 10^{-5} T

For finding induced emf,

  \epsilon = Blv

Where v = velocity of rod,

For finding the velocity of rod.

From kinematics equation,

 v^{2} = v_{o} ^{2} + 2gh

Where v_{o} = initial velocity, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

   v = \sqrt{2gh}

   v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 1.23}

   v = 4.91 \frac{m}{s}

Put the velocity in above equation,

   \epsilon = 6.93 \times 10^{-5} \times 1 \times 4.91

   \epsilon = 34.02 \times 10^{-5} V

Therefore, the induced emf between two end is 34.02 \times 10^{-5} V
