A lamp is twice as far in front of a plane mirror as a person is. Light from the lamp reaches the person via two paths. It strikes the mirror at a 36.1° angle of incidence and reflects from it before reaching the person. The total time for the light to travel this path includes the time to travel to the mirror and the time to travel from the mirror to the person. The light also travels directly to the...

When an object is located very far away from a convex mirror, the image of the object is 12.0 cm behind the mirror. Using a ray diagram drawn to scale, determine where the image is located when the object is placed 6.0 cm in front of the mirror. Note that the mirror must be drawn to scale also. In your drawing, assume that the height of the object is 3.0 cm. cm  ---Select--- in front of behind the mirror As an...

A person walks into a room that has, on opposite walls, two plane mirrors producing multiple images. Find the distances from the person to the first three images seen in the left-hand mirror, when the person is 9.00 ft from the mirror on the left wall and 10.0 ft from the mirror on the right wall. first image ft second image ft third image ft

A person walks first at a constant speed of 4.90 m/s along a straight line from point circled A to point circled B and then back along the line from circled B to circled A at a constant speed of 2.90 m/s. Find the average Velocity for the time interval of 1.80s to 2.80s and also the average velocity for the time interval of 1.85s to 2.25s.

If a person of mass M simply moved forward with speed V, his kinetic energy would be 1/2MVsquared. However, in addition to possessing a forward motion, various parts of his body (such as the arms and legs) undergo rotation. Therefore, his total kinetic energy is the sum of the energy from his forward motion plus the rotational kinetic energy of his arms and legs. The purpose of this problem is to see how much this rotational motion contributes to the...
