Since the angle of incidence is 45° using the law of reflection we can conclude the reflective ray will also make an angle equal to the angle of incidence i.e. 45° with the normal.

<h3>What are the three laws of reflection?</h3>

1)The angle between the incident ray and the normal is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the normal.

2)The incident ray, the normal and the reflected ray are all in the same plane.

3) Incident ray and refracted ray are on different sides of the normal.

Given:

Light rays strike at an angle of 45° to the plane.

Using the law of reflection we can easily draw the reflective wave.

Important terms:

Angle of incidence - it is the angle at which the light way strikes the plane mirror.

Angle of reflection- it is the angle at which the light way is reflected back by the plane mirror.

Now since the angle of incidence is 45° using the law of reflection we can conclude the reflective ray will also make 45° with the normal.

Hence the angle of incidence is 45° and also the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence i.e.45°.

When the mass of the bottle is 0.125 kg, the KE is______ kg m2/s2.
DiKsa [7]
Answers are:
(1) KE = 1 kg m^2/s^2
(2) KE = 2 kg m^2/s^2
(3) KE = 3 kg m^2/s^2
(4) KE = 4 kg m^2/s^2


Explanation:

(1) Given mass = 0.125 kg
speed = 4 m/s

Since Kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(v^2)

Plug in the values:
Hence:
KE = (1/2) * 0.125 * (16)
KE = 1 kg m^2/s^2

(2) Given mass = 0.250 kg
speed = 4 m/s

Since Kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(v^2)

Plug in the values:
Hence:
KE = (1/2) * 0.250 * (16)
KE = 2 kg m^2/s^2

(3) Given mass = 0.375 kg
speed = 4 m/s

Since Kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(v^2)

Plug in the values:
Hence:
KE = (1/2) * 0.375 * (16)
KE = 3 kg m^2/s^2

(4) Given mass = 0.500 kg
speed = 4 m/s

Since Kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(v^2)

Plug in the values:
Hence:
KE = (1/2) * 0.5 * (16)
KE = 4 kg m^2/s^2

A large uniform chain is hanging from the ceiling, supporting a block of mass 46 kg. The mass of the chain itself is 19 kg, and
docker41 [41]

Answer:

T = 451.26 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of block, m = 46 kg

Mass of the chain, m' = 19 kg

Length of the chain, l = 1.9 m

Let T is the the tension in the chain at the point where the chain is supporting the block. It is clearly equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

T=mg

T=46\ kg\times 9.81\ m/s^2

T = 451.26 N

So, the tension in the chain at the point where the chain is supporting the block is 451.26 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
