M=-2 the imagine equals what?

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Image is twice as large as the object, and inverted

Explanation:

When an object is placed in front of a mirror, the mirror produces an image.

The magnification of the image is a number telling how much the size of the image is enlarged/diminished with respect to the object.

It is given by

$M=\frac{y'}{y}$

where

M is the magnification

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

In this problem,

M = -2

This means that:

$y'=My\\y' = -2y$

So, we can conclude the following:

- The size of the image is twice the size of the real object

- The image is also inverted, because of the presence of the negative sign in the equation

You are climbing in the high sierra when you suddenly find yourself at the edge of a fog-shrouded cliff. to find the height of t

sergey [27]

The total time it takes the sound to reach our on top of the cliff (10.0 s) is actually sum of two times:
- the time it takes the rock to hit the ground starting from the top of the cliff, t1
- the time it takes the sound to reach the top of the cliff starting from the ground, t2
1) The rock moves by uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration $g=9.81 m/s^2$ . Its law of motion is given by $y(t)=h-v_0t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ , where $v_0=0$ is the initial velocity of the rock, and h is the height of the cliff. The time t1 is the time at which the rock reaches the ground, so that y(t1)=0, and the equation becomes
$0=h-\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2$
2) The sound moves from the ground to the top of the cliff by uniform motion, with constant speed v=343 m/s. Therefore, the sound covers the distance h (the height of the cliff) in a time t2 given by
$h=vt_2$
3) If we rewrite h in both equations, we can write:
$=\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2=vt_2$ (1)
4) We also know that the sum of t1 and t2 is equal to 10 seconds:
$t_1+t_2=10$
from which we find
$t_2=10-t_1$
if we substitute this into eq.(1), we get
$\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2+vt_1-10v=0$
Numerically:
$4.9t_1^2 + 343 t_1 - 3430=0$
Solving the equation, we find the solution $t_1=8.87 s$ (the other solution is negative, so it does not have physical meaning). As a consequence,
$t_2 = 10-t_1 = 1.13 s$
and the height of the cliff is given by
<span> $h=vt_2=(343 m/s)(1.13 s)=388 m$ </span>

A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is 2.10×104 m/s2 , and 1.85 ms (1 ms = 10−3

ankoles [38]

Answer:

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

Explanation:

given data:

acceleration = 2.10*10^4 m/s^2

time = 1.85*10^{-3} s

final velocity = 0 m/s

from equation of motion we have following relation

v = u +at

0 = u + 2.10*10^4 *1.85*10^{-3}

0 = u + (21 *1.85)

0 = u + 38.85

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

negative sign indicate that the ball bounce in opposite directon
