Answer:

42 degrees, virtual image, same size as the object (26 cm)

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that:

- When a ray of light is incident on a flat surface (such as the plane mirror), the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

So, since in this case the angle of incidence is 42 degrees, the angle of reflection is also 42 degrees.

Moreover, the image formed by a plane mirror is always:

- Virtual (on the same side as the object)

- The same size as the object

So in this case, since the object's size is 26 cm, the image's size is also 26 cm.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

5.724 meters / second^2

Explanation:

We are given two pieces of information, 5.24 flurg = 1 meter, 1 grom = 0.493 second. If that is so, we can say that there are two possible conversion units,  5.25 flurg / meter, and 0.493 second / grom.

_____

We want to convert 7.29 flurg / grom^2 ( I believe? ) to the units meters / second^2. But, let's break this down into bits. It would be convenient to first convert 7.29 flurg / grom^2 to the units meters / grom^2, by dividing the conversion factors as to cancel out the appropriate things, which we will go into detail on a bit later ( using the first conversion factor ). Respectively we can convert meters / grom^2 to meters / grom * s, canceling out the flurg ( through the second conversion factor ). And now we would need to get rid of the grom, dividing similarly.

_____

( 1 ) ( flurg / grom^2 ) / ( flurg / meters  ) - first conversion unit

= flurg / grom^2 * meters /flurg

= ( meters * flurg ) / ( grom^2 * flurg )  

= meters /grom^2,

7.29 flurg / grom^2 / 5.24 flurg / meter = ( About ) 1.39 meter / grom^2

( 2 ) ( meter / grom^2 ) / ( second / grom  ) - second conversion unit

= meter / grom^2 * grom / second

= ( meter * grom ) / ( grom^2 * second )

= meter / ( grom * second ),

( 1.39 meter / grom^2 ) / 0.493 second / grom = ( About ) 2.82195 meter /  grom * second

( 3 ) ( 2.82195 meter / ( grom * second ) ) / 0.493 second / grom = 5.724 meter / second^2

( And thus, the value of gOP7 in the units the architects will use should be about 5.724 meters / second^2 )

Rotational dynamics about a fixed axis: A person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

I = 2 kgm^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the moment of inertia of the door, about the hinges, you use the following formula:

\tau=I\alpha     (1)

I: moment of inertia of the door

α: angular acceleration of the door = 2.00 rad/s^2

τ: torque exerted on the door

You can calculate the torque by using the information about the Force exerted on the door, and the distance to the hinges. You use the following formula:

\tau=Fd        (2)

F: force = 5.00 N

d: distance to the hinges = 0.800 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for α:

Fd=I\alpha\\\\I=\frac{Fd}{\alpha}

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous equation for I:

I=\frac{(5.00N)(0.800m)}{2.00rad/s^2}=2kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the door around the hinges is 2 kgm^2

What physical property of minerals describes how they will break along a plane of weakness in a crystal lattice?
Rom4ik [11]
<span>The answer is cleavage Cleavage is the way minerals will break along a plane of weakness in a crystal lattice. These plane of relative weakness is formed due to various reasons like the locations of atoms in a crystal lattice so these locations form the smooth repeting surface which could be found out by studying its lattice or are sometimes visible to naked eye.</span>

A battleship simultaneously fires two shells toward two identical enemy ships. One shell hits ship A, which is close by, and the
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

both cannonballs hit the ships with the same horizontal speed

Explanation:

Hello!

A parabolic motion is characterized in that its vertical component in Y is constantly changing, this is due to the constant downward acceleration of gravity.

When the movement starts the speed at Y is maximum, then when it reaches its maximum height point its speed is zero, and finally it begins to increase downwards until it touches the floor.

On the other hand, the horizontal speed remains constant AS THERE IS NO ACCELERATION IN HORIZONTAL DIRECTION.

therefore both cannonballs hit the ships with the same horizontal speed

regards!
