<h2>Concept :- </h2>

The plane mirror has flat reflecting surface and the angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence. The image formed by a plane mirror is located in front of the mirror but appears to be formed behind the plane in which the mirror lies. To find the nature of the image formed by a plane mirror. We need to study the reflection through a plane mirror.plane mirror has flat reflecting surface and the angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence.

<h2>Required Answer :- </h2>

→ image formed by a plane mirror is : <u>virtual, behind the mirror and of the same size as the object</u>

<h2>Additional information :-</h2>

Plane mirrors are the only type of optical mirror for which a real object produces an image that is virtual, erect, and of the same size of the object. The virtual objects produce a real image. The focal length of a plane mirror is defined as infinity, and its optical power is zero.

The image formed by a plane mirror is erect, laterally inverted, and of the same size as that of the object. The left side of the object appears on the right side of the image. Also, the distance of the image from the plane mirror is same as the distance between the plane mirror and the object.

Plane mirrors are used as looking glass.

Plane mirrors also have many scientific uses. In most of the measuring instruments, a plane mirror is placed under the scale and pointer. When the pointer moves, the image in the plane mirror also moves.

Now the eye is so placed that the pointer covers its own image, and thus the pointer and its image coincides. Thus the eye, the pointer and its image in the mirror are in the same line perpendicular to the scale. This helps in getting the correct reading.

Plane mirrors are also used in constructing periscope which is used in submarines.

Plane mirrors are used in solar cookers.

Plane mirrors are used to make kaleidoscope, a toy which produces beautiful patterns from colored paper, pieces of glass or small colored beads.

Two metal disks, one with radius R1 = 2.45 cm and mass M1 = 0.900 kg and the other with radius R2 = 5.00 cm and mass M2 = 1.60 k

natima [27]

Answer:

part (a) $a_1\ =\ 2.9\ kg$

Part (b) $a_2\ =\ 6.25\ kg$

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the smaller disk = $M_1\ =\ 0.900\ kg$
Radius of the smaller disk = $R_1\ =\ 2.45\ cm\ =\ 0.0245\ m$

mass of the larger disk = $M_2\ =\ 1.6\ kg$
Radius of the larger disk = $R_2\ =\ 5.0\ cm\ =\ 0.05\ m$
mass of the hanging block = m = 1.60 kg

Let I be the moment of inertia of the both disk after the welding, $\therefore I\ =\ I_1\ +\ I_2\\\Rightarrow I\ =\ \dfrac{1}{2}(M_1R_1^2\ +\ M_2R_2^2)\\\Rightarrow I\ =\ 0.5\times (0.9\times 0.0245^2\ +\ 1.6\times 0.05^2)\\\Rightarrow I\ =\ 2.27\times 10^{-3}\ kgm^2$

part (a)

A block of mass m is hanging on the smaller disk,

From the f.b.d. of the block,

Let 'a' be the acceleration of the block and 'T' be the tension in the string.

$mg\ -\ T\ =\ mg\\\Rightarrow T\ =\ mg\ -\ ma\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,eqn (1)$

Net torque on the smaller disk,

$\therefore \tau\ =\ I\alpha\\\Rightarrow TR_1\ =\ \dfrac{Ia}{R_1}\\\Rightarrow T\ =\ \dfrac{Ia}{R_1^2}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,enq (2)$

From eqn (1) and (2), we get,

$mg\ -\ ma\ =\ \dfrac{Ia}{R_1^2}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ \dfrac{mg}{\dfrac{I}{R_1^2}\ +\ m}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ \dfrac{1.60\times 9.81}{\dfrac{2.27\times 10^{-3}}{0.027^2}\ +\ 1.60}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ 2.91\ m/s^2$

part (b)

In this case the mass is rapped on the larger disk,

From the above expression of the acceleration of the block, acceleration is only depended on the radius of the rotating disk,

Let ' $a_2$ ' be the acceleration of the block in the second case,

From the above expression,

$\therefore a\ =\ \dfrac{mg}{\dfrac{I}{R_1^2}\ +\ m}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ \dfrac{1.60\times 9.81}{\dfrac{2.27\times 10^{-3}}{0.05^2}\ +\ 1.60}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ 6.25\ m/s^2$

A race car makes one lap around a track of radius 50 m in 9.0 s. What is the average velocity? *

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Given that,

Radius of track, r = 50 m

time , t = 9 s

velocity, v = ?

Distance covered by car in one lap around a track is equal to the circumference of the track.

C = 2 π r = 2 * 3.14 * 50

C = 314.159 m

Distance covered by car, s = 314.159 m

Velocity = distance/ time

V = 314.159 / 9

V = 34.9 m/s

The average velocity of car is 34.9 m/s.

When you hold a small amount of sodium chloride in a flame, you observe that the flame is bright yellow. What can you do to be s

Anon25 [30]

To be sure that the color is due to sodium, do a flame test. This is used to identify the presence of small number of metal ions in a compound. For sodium, the brilliant color of bright yellow is a result of an excited electron in a very high level of energy and fall to a lower level called the ground state.

In addition, metals have different jump sizes in the energy level and this means that each different metal will have a different pattern of spectral lines, which results to different flame color.
