You are sharing a house with a few roommates. One of them plays on the basketball team, and is exactly 200 cm tall. The heights

of you and the other roommates are 188 cm, 175 cm, and 160 cm. You want to buy the minimum height mirror that will allow all of you to see your entire selves, when the mirror is mounted in a fixed position on the wall. Assume each person's eyes are at a level 95% of their height. How tall a mirror should you buy

Answer:

119 cm

Explanation:

Given heights :  200cm , 188 cm , 175 cm, 160 cm

since the eyes are at 95% level

95% of 200 cm = 190 cm

95% of 160 cm = 152 cm

hence the allowable height of mirror = 200 - ( 5 + 76 ) = 119 cm

and The mirror should be hung 75cm from the floor

The law of reflection says that the angle of incidence is
nekit [7.7K]
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Furthermore, the law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

hope this helps :)

Explain how work is related to energy
Dahasolnce [82]

Work is closely related to energy. The work-energy principle states that an increase in the kinetic energy of a rigid body is caused by an equal amount of positive work.


So they are both closely related to each other.

The ratio of the output work to input force is the _ of the machine ?
Colt1911 [192]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Mechanical advantage

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force output from a machine divided by the force input into the machine.
  • Mechanical advantage measures the machine's force-magnifying effect. It is an advantage gained by using simple machines to accomplish work with less effort.
  • The formula is; M.A = output force/ Input force

This chart lists four examples of two objects that are in contact.
Oxana [17]

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand the direction of heat flow.

Heat is the transferred thermal energy from one body to another body due to the temperature difference just like water flows from higher level to lower level.

Whenever two bodies having different temperature come closer to each other heat will flow from hotter body to cooler one if no external work is done. The heat flow may be through any of the ways i.e conduction,radiation or convection. Hence temperature difference is the parameter which gives the direction of heat flow.

The temperature is also considered as a measure of average kinetic energy of the substance.The thermal energy does not give the direction heat flow. Heat may  flow from the body  having low thermal energy but at higher temperature to the body having higher thermal energy but at low temperature. The reverse does not happen naturally .

In example 1 there is fire and air. Obviously fire is at high temperature and air at low temperature.So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2.

In example 2 there is a metal at 80 degree Celsius and another metal at 12 degree Celsius .So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2

In example 3 we have cooler ocean and warm air. So the heat will flow from object 2 to object 1.

In example 4 we have a tool with high thermal energy and a material with little thermal energy.We already know that thermal energy can not determine the direction of heat flow. Here the temperature of each substance is not given.The kinetic energy is  part of thermal energy.So there is the chance of higher kinetic energy of the tool for having higher thermal energy .At that time the heat will flow object 1 to object 2.Otherwise the reverse will occur. So it is a special case.

As per the question only option 4 is correct which tells that heat will flow from object 1 to object 2 in examples 1,2,4, and heat will flow from object 2 to 1 in example 3. Other options violate the fundamental law of thermodynamics.
