B. The closest point in the moon's orbit to Earth. Peri+Geo=close+Earth. The closest thing to the earth is the moon, therefore Perigee has to do with the moon being close to the Earth.

(Mass vs. Weight) HELP PLZ!!

Lina20 [59]

$\huge \boxed { \sf{Answers}}$

c. The weight of an object on the moon will be the same as its weight on Earth. It is false because the weight of an on the moon will be 1/6 th times its weight on Earth.
d. The weight of an object is its mass multiplied by the force of gravity. The statement is false because the formula of weight is mass × acceleration due to gravity, not force of gravity.
e. The mass and weight of an object are the same thing. The statement is false because mass means a body of matter. While weight of an object is its mass multiplied by the force of gravity.
f. The mass of an object is the force of gravity acting upon an object. It is false because it will be the weight of the object not mass.
So, the answers are c, d, e and f.

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.

Explain how mirrors can produce images that are larger or smaller than life size, as well as upright or inverted

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1) When $d_{o}$ < $d_{i}$ (hence $d_{o}$ < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

2) When $d_{o}$ > $d_{i}$ (and $d_{o}$ < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

3) When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror

Explanation:

The position of an object in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature, R, determines the size and orientation of the image of the object as illustrated in the mirror equation

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{d_{o}} + \dfrac{1}{d_{i}}$

$Magnification, \, m = \dfrac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = -\dfrac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}$

Where:

f = Focal length of the mirror = R/2

$d_{i}$ = Image distance from the mirror

$d_{o}$ = Object distance from the mirror

$h_{i}$ = Image height

$h_{o}$ = Object height

$d_{o}$ is positive for an object placed in front of the mirror and negative for an object placed behind the mirror

$d_{i}$ is positive for an image formed in front of the mirror and negative for an image formed behind the mirror

m is positive when the orientation of the image and the object is the same

m is negative when the orientation of the image and the object is inverted

f and R are positive in the situation where the center of curvature is located in front of the mirror (concave mirrors) and f and R are negative in the situation where the center of curvature is located behind the mirror (convex mirrors)

∴ When $d_{o}$ < $d_{i}$ (hence $d_{o}$ < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

When $d_{o}$ > $d_{i}$ (and $d_{o}$ < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror.
