Answer:

1. The reason why a plane mirror forms a virtual image is because it doesn't let the light go through it, but it reflects the light, so if you go behind the plane mirror, then you won't see the rays of light since it's not letting the rays of light go behind it.

2. The image cannot be projected onto a screen also.

3. Also, the Rays of light never meet at a focus point, so hence, this is why the plane mirror forms a virtual image.

Thanks!

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The radial acceleration is $a_c = 0.9574 m/s^2$

The horizontal Tension is $T_x = 0.3294 i \ N$

The vertical Tension is $T_y =3.3712 j \ N$

Explanation:

The diagram illustrating this is shown on the first uploaded

From the question we are told that

The length of the string is $L = 10.7 \ cm = 0.107 \ m$

The mass of the bob is $m = 0.344 \ kg$

The angle made by the string is $\theta = 5.58^o$

The centripetal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

$F = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Now From the diagram we see that this force is equivalent to

$F = Tsin \theta$ where T is the tension on the rope and v is the linear velocity

$Tsin \theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Now the downward normal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

$Tcos \theta = mg$

$\frac{Tsin \ttheta }{Tcos \theta } = \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r} }{mg}$

=> $tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{rg}$

=> $g tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{r}$

The centripetal acceleration which the same as the radial acceleration of the bob is mathematically represented as

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

=> $a_c = gtan \theta$

substituting values

$a_c = 9.8 * tan (5.58)$

$a_c = 0.9574 m/s^2$

The horizontal component is mathematically represented as

$T_x = Tsin \theta = ma_c$

substituting value

$T_x = 0.344 * 0.9574$

$T_x = 0.3294 \ N$

The vertical component of tension is

$T_y = T \ cos \theta = mg$

substituting value

$T_ y = 0.344 * 9.8$

$T_ y = 3.2712 \ N$

The vector representation of the T in term is of the tension on the horizontal and the tension on the vertical is

$T = T_x i + T_y j$

substituting value

$T = [(0.3294) i + (3.3712)j ] \ N$

user100 [1]

<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>
