The angle of incidence for a ray of light passing through the center of curvature of a concave mirror is 0°.

The angle of incidence is the angle between the surface's normal and the incident ray. For a concave mirror, the normal of the surface is along the center of the curvature, and a ray of light passed through a center of curvature passes through the normal of the surface.

The ray of light retreats its path making a zero angle of reflection. The law of reflection state that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection; therefore, the angle of incidence of a concave surface passed through the center of curvature is zero degrees.

Helen [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock will strike the ground $2.42s$ earlier than the dropped rock.

Explanation:

Known Data

$y_{i}=300m$

$y_{f}=0m$
$v_{iD}=0m/s$
$v_{iT}=-29m/s$ , it is negative as is directed downward

Time of the dropped Rock

We can use $y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ , to find the total time of fall, so $0=300m-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})t_{D}^{2}}{2}$ , then clearing for $t_{D}$ .

$t_{D}=\sqrt[2]{\frac{300m}{4.9m/s^{2}}} =\sqrt[2]{61.22s^{2}} =7.82s$

Time of the Thrown Rock

We can use $y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ , to find the total time of fall, so $0=300-29t_{T}-\frac{(9.8)t_{T}^{2}}{2}$ , then, $0=-4.9t_{T}^{2}-29t_{T}+300$ , as it is a second-grade polynomial, we find that its positive root is $t_{T}=5.4s$

Finally, we can find how much earlier does the thrown rock strike the ground, so $t_{E}=t_{D}-t_{T}=7.82s-5.4s=2.42s$

For an object in uniform circular motion, what can you say about the directions of the velocity, acceleration, and net force vec

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: b) The velocity vector is perpendicular to the acceleration vector; the acceleration vector is parallel to the net force vector.

Explanation: A change in velocity creates an acceleration. As the object rotates through the circular path it is constantly changing direction, and hence accelerating, which causes a constant force to act upon the object. This Force acts towards the center of curvature, directly toward the axis of rotation in a direction parallel to the acceleration of the body along the path. Because the object is moving perpendicular to the force, the path followed by the object is a circular one. Hence the velocity of the object is perpendicular to the acceleration.
