Which statement describes the law of conservation of energy

A woman is 160160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing up

kipiarov [429]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A woman is 160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright.

Hint: Consider the ray diagram below, of the rays that enable her to see her feet and the top of her head.

Use what you know about the law of reflection, together with a bit geometry.

The missing Image is uploaded along this answer below.

Answer:

the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and illustrated in the image below,

From image 2;

The distance from the woman's eyes to the top of her head is represented as b and a represent the distance from her eyes to her feet.

Therefore, since her height is 160 cm

a + b = 160 ------ let this be equation 1

i.e AD + DG = 160 cm

Now, from the same image 2, we will notice that triangle ABC and tringle CBD are similar, so

∠ABC = ∠CBD

AC = CD

since AD = a and AC + CD = A

AC = CD = a/2

Also, triangle DEF and FEG are si,ilar

∠DEF = ∠FEG

so

DF = FG

since DG = b and DF + FG = b

DF = b/2

so the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which the woman can see her entire body while standing upright will be;

⇒ a/2 + b/2

⇒ a + b / 2

from equation 1, a + b = 160

so

⇒ a + b / 2 = 160 / 2 = 80

Therefore, the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

The equivalence between gravitational and inertial mass is explained in : the set of all of the events that happened on Earth

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer is theory of general relativity.

Explanation:

According to the statement of equivalence the gravitational mass force on an object standing on the surface of earth is same as the pseudo force that acts on it if it accelerated at acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity.

According to Einestine both the forces are indistinguishable as both the forces produce same effects. Thus both are equivalent and thus gravity is a phenomenon that can be analysed in a radically different way which gives some strange results such as bending of light, existence of black holes,e.t.c

Sixty identical drippers, each with a hole of diameter 1.00 mm, are used to water a yard. If the water in the main pipe of diame

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a

$V = 5.30 *10^{-2} \ m^3$

b

$v_1 = 0.3127 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of identical drippers is n = 60

The diameter of each hole in each dripper is $d = 1.0 \ mm = 0.001 \ m$

The diameter of the main pipe is $d_m = 2.5 \ cm = 0.025 \ m$

The speed at which the water is flowing is $v = 3.00 \ cm/s = 0.03 \ m/s$

Generally the amount of water used in one hour = 3600 seconds is mathematically represented as

$V = A * v * 3600$

Here A is the area of the main pipe with value

$A = \pi * \frac{d^2}{4}$

=> $A = 3.142 * \frac{0.025^2}{4}$

=> $A = 0.0004909 \ m^2$

So

=> $V = 0.0004909 * 0.03 * 3600$

=> $V = 5.30 *10^{-2} \ m^3$

Generally the area of the drippers is mathematically represented as

$A_1= n * \pi \frac{d^2}{4}$

=> $A_1 = 60 * 3.142 * \frac{0.001 ^2}{4}$

=> $A_1 = 4.713 *10^{-5} \ m^2$

Generally from continuity equation we have that

$Av = A_1 v_1$

=> $0.0004909 * 0.03 = 4.713 *10^{-5} * v_1$

=> $v_1 = 0.3127 \ m/s$

• How were historical solar system models different from our current model?

horrorfan [7]

One of the most famous historical model was the geocentric model thought of by plato. This model says that the earth is in the center of the universe and that each of the planets follow complicated paths that go backwards sometimes. This model was used until a new one was accepted. This model is the one we have today called the heliocentric model. It was bought of by Copernicus. Hope that answers your question!
