The distance between the mirror and your face is 39.5 cm

Using the mirror formula 2/r = 1/u + 1/v where r = radius of curvature = - 48.2 cm, u = distance between mirror and your face = object distance and v = distance between image and your face = - 61.8 cm. The distances are negative since the image is in front of the mirror and distances to the left of the mirror are negative.

So, making u subject of the formula, we have

2/r = 1/u + 1/v

1/u = 2/r - 1/v

1/u = (2v - r)/rv

u = rv/(2v - r)

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, wse have

u = -48.2 cm × -61.8 cm/(2 × -61.8 cm - (-48.2 cm))

u = 2978.76 cm²/(-123.6 cm + 48.2 cm)

u = 2978.76 cm²/-75.4 cm

u = -39.51 cm

u ≅ -39.5 cm (The distance is negative since it is in front of the mirror)

So, the distance between the mirror and your face is 39.5 cm

Where should clouds form and why
LiRa [457]

Answer:

When air rises in the atmosphere it gets cooler and is under less pressure. When air cools, it's not able to hold all of the water vapor it once was. Air also can't hold as much water when air pressure drops. The vapor becomes small water droplets or ice crystals and a cloud is formed.

Explanation:

hope this helps.

A person travels by car from one city to another with differem constan1 speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0 min
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

a.52.9 km/h

b.90 km

Explanation:

We are given that

v_1=89km/h

t_1=30min

v_2=100km/h

t_2=12min

v_3=40km/h

t_3=45 min

Time spend on eating lunch and buying ga=15 min.

a.Total time=30+12+45+15=102 minute=\frac{102}{60}=1.7 hour

1 hour=60 minutes

Distance=speed\times time

d_1=v_1\times t_1=80\times\frac{30}{60}=40km

d_2=100\times \frac{12}{60}=20 km

d_3=40\times \frac{45}{60}=30 km

Total distance=d_1+d_2+d_3=40+20+30=90km

Average speed=\frac{total\;speed}{total\;time}

Using the formula

Average speed=\frac{90}{1.7}=52.9Km/h

b.Total distance between the initial and final city lies along the route=90 km
