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

A vector points -43.0 units
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the direction of this vector we need o find the angle that has a tangent of the y-component over the x-component:

tan^{-1}(\frac{11.1}{-43.0})=-14.5 but since we are in Q2 we have to add 180 degrees to that angle giving us 165.5 degrees

If your friend drops a chocolate bar to you from a height of 5.0 m above your hands,
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

<h3>1.01 s</h3>

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion S = ut+1/2gt² to solve the problem where;

u is the initial velocity of the chocolate = 0m/s

t is the time taken

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

S is the height of fall = 5.0m

Substituting the given parameter into the formula to get the time t we have;

5 = 0(t)+1/2(9.81)t²

5 = 4.905t²

t² = 5/4.905

t² = 1.019

t = √1.019

t = 1.009 secs

<em>Hence it will take 1.01 secs for me to catch the chocolate bar</em>
