When you have a warm shower, you create steam. So when the warm steam flows in the air and starts to be in contact with a cold surface, it condenses causing a mist to form on the cold surface. The heated mirror is warm so, when, the steam is in contact with the mirror condensation is prevented. Therefore, the mirror stays clear.

Cause the only reason a mirror becomes misty when you take a shower is because the steam from the water rises and then condenses on the cold surface of the mirror cause it cools down the steam back to it's origional form of water. But if you had a heated mirror the steam wouldn't condense back to water when it touched the mirror so the mirror stays clear:)

A person is nearsighted with a far point of 75.0 cm. a. What focal length contact lens is needed to give him normal vision
BigorU [14]

Complete Question

The  complete question is  shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a

  f=  -75 \ cm =  - 0.75 \ m

b

  P  =  -1.33 \ diopters

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  image distance is  d_i =  -75 cm

The value of the image is negative because it is on the same side with the corrective glasses

    The  object distance is  d_o =  \infty

The  reason object distance  is because the object father than it being picture by the eye

General focal length is mathematically represented as

              \frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{d_i}  -   \frac{1}{d_o}

substituting values

             \frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{-75}  -   \frac{1}{\infty}

=>         f=  -75 \ cm =  - 0.75 \ m

Generally the power of the corrective lens is  mathematically represented as

        P  =  \frac{1}{f}

substituting values

       P  =  \frac{1}{-0.75}

        P  =  -1.33 \ diopters

The diagram shows a heat engine. In which area of the diagram is unusable thermal energy detected?
Marat540 [252]
Nope, I disagree with the former answer. The answer is definitely Z. <u>W area</u> (boxed with red outline) is represented as the hot reservoir while <u>Z area</u> is the cold reservoir (boxed with blue outline). X area is the heat engine itself and Y area is the work produced from thermal energy from hot reservoir. Typically, all heat engines lose some heat to the environment (based from the second law of thermodynamics) that is symbolically illustrated by the lost energy in the cold reservoir. This lost thermal energy is basically the unusable thermal energy. The higher thermal energy lost, the less efficient your heat engine is.

Two thin lenses with a focal length of magnitude 12.0cm, the first diverging and the second converging, are located 9.00cm apart
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

b ) First is concave lens with focal length f₁ = - 12 cm .

object distance u = - 20 cm .

Lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / v + 1 / 20 = -1 / 12

1 / v =  - 1 / 20  -1 / 12

= - .05 - .08333

= - .13333

v = - 1 / .13333

= - 7.5 cm

first image is formed before the first lens on the side of object.

This will become object for second lens

distance from second lens = 7.5 + 9 = 16.5 cm

c )

For second lens

object distance u = - 16.5 cm

focal length f₂ = + 12 cm ( lens is convex )

image distance = v

lens formula ,

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f₂

1 / v + 1 / 16.5 = 1 / 12

1 / v =   1 / 12 -  1 / 16.5

= .08333- .0606

= .02273

v = 1 /  .02273

= 44 cm ( approx )

It will be formed on the other side of convex lens

distance from first lens

= 44 + 9 = 53 cm .

magnification by first lens = v / u

= -7.5 / -20 = .375 .

magnification by second lens = v / u

= 44 / - 16.5

= - 2.67

d )

total magnification

= .375 x - 2.67

= - 1.00125

height of final image

= 2.50 mm x 1.00125

= 2.503mm

e )

The final image will be inverted with respect to object  because total magnification is negative .

A car drives toward the right over the top of a hill, as shown below. An illustration of car at the top of a hill pointing right
Sav [38]

Answer: X

Explanation:

This situation can be illustrated as a car in circular motion (image attached).

In circular motion the acceleration vector \vec{a} is always directed toward the center of the circumference (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).

So, in this case the arrow labeled X is the only that points toward the center, hence it represents the car's centripetal acceleration
