The place you get your hair cut has two nearly parallel mirrors 6.00 m apart. as you sit in the chair, your head is 2.00 m from the nearer mirror. looking toward this mirror, you first see your face and then, farther away, the back of your head. (the mirrors need to be slightly nonparallel for you to be able to see the back of your head, but you can treat them as parallel in this problem.) how far away does the back of your head appear to be?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i.e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.
