Answer:

0.08 J

Explanation:

EE = ½ kx²

EE = ½ (400 N/m) (0.02 m)²

EE = 0.08 J

A beam oflight is reflected off a mirror. If the angle of incidence is 30 degrees, according to the Law of Reflection the angle
zaharov [31]

Answer:

30°

Explanation:

According to the second law of reflection, it States that the angle of incidence i is equal to the angle of reflection r.

The angle of incidence is known to be the angle between the incident ray and the normal.

The Angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal.

This normal ray is a ray that is perpendicular to the surface.

According to the question, if the beam of light is reflected off the surface and its angle of incidence is 30°, its angle of reflection will also be 30° i.e i=r = 30°

An astronaut holds a rock 100m above the surface of Planet X. The rock is then thrown upward with a speed of 15m/s, as shown in
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The acceleration due to gravity of the planet X is 1 m/s².

The given parameters;

  • height above the ground, h = 100 m
  • initial velocity of the rock, u = 15 m/s
  • time of motion of the rock, t = 10 s

The acceleration due to gravity is calculated as follows;

h = ut - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\100 = 15(10) - (0.5\times 10^2)g\\\\100 = 150 - 50g\\\\50g = 150-100\\\\50g = 50\\\\g = 1 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity of the planet X is 1 m/s²

What occurs when light bends while passing from one medium to another?
Levart [38]

Answer:So the answer is B

Explanation: When the light rays either bend or change their direction while passing from one medium to another it is called refraction of light. The refraction of light takes place when light travels from air into glass, from glass into air, from air into water or from water into air.

An Atwood machine consists of two masses, mA = 6.8 kg and mB = 8.0 kg , connected by a cord that passes over a pulley free to ro
Lisa [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concewptos related to Torque, kinetic movement and Newton's second Law.

By definition Newton's second law is described as

F= ma

Where,

m= mass

a = Acceleration

Part A) According to the information (and as can be seen in the attached graph) a sum of forces is carried out in mass B, it is obtained that,

\sum F = m_b a

m_Bg-T_B = m_Ba

T_B = m_Bg-m_Ba

In the case of mass A,

\sum F = m_A a

T_A = m_Ag-m_Aa

Making summation of Torques in the Pulley we have to

\sum\tau = I\alpha

T_BR_0-T_AR_0=I\alpha

T_B-T_A=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}

Replacing the values previously found,

(m_Bg-m_Ba )-(m_Ag-m_Aa )=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}

(m_B-m_A)g-(m_B+m_A)a=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}

a = \frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{I}{R_0^2}+(m_B+m_A)}

a = \frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{MR^2_0^2/2}{R_0^2}+(m_B+m_A)}

a =\frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{M}{2}+(m_B+m_A)}

Replacing with our values

a =\frac{(8-6.8)(9.8)}{\frac{0.8}{2}+(8+6.8)}

a=0.7736m/s^2

PART B) Ignoring the moment of inertia the acceleration would be given by

a' =\frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{(m_B+m_A)}

a' =\frac{(8-6.8)(9.8)}{(8+6.8)}

a' = 0.7945

Therefore the error would be,

\%error = \frac{a'-a}{a}*100

\%error = \frac{0.7945-0.7736}{0.7736}*100

\%error = 2.7%
