The angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror is 34.6°

Two plane mirrors intersect at right angles. A laser beam strikes the first of them at a point d = 10.0cm from their point of intersection.

To strike the midpoint of the second mirror, the ray of light will have to travel half of the distance vertically

i.e. 29/2 = 14.5

We can solve this through trigonometry.

Let the angle between the ray and the vertical plane mirror is known as α

tan α = 10/14.5

α =  = 34.6°

The angle of incidence is the angle between the ray and the normal line of the mirror.

Let the angle of incidence of the first mirror be β

β = α = 34.6

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2
liberstina [14]

Answer:

2C

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.

True or False: Amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A. False, frequency can increase or decrease wavelength.

For example: a high frequency would mean there are shorter wavelengths that occur in a period. Meanwhile, a low frequency would indicate that the wavelengths are longer and in longer periods.

How does an ocean wave transfer energy across the ocean?
Alborosie
The energy travels in a disturbance, in an ocean that disturbance is a wave, so the wave makes energy and moves it through the water

Aristotle said that a moving earthly or `mundane' object with nothing pushing or pulling on it will always A slow down and stop.
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A slow down and stop

Explanation:

When there is no force acting on something it automatically begins to slow down and then stops.Essentially, Aristotle's perspective of motion is that "it requires a force to move an object in an unnatural" way— or, plainly, that "movement involves strength." Indeed, if you propel a book, it keeps moving. Once you stop trying to push, it comes to a stop.

You can think of the work-kinetic energy theorem as the second theory of motion, parallel to Newton's laws in describing how out
kiruha [24]

Answer:

a) 4 289.8 J

b) 4 289.8 J

c) 6 620.1 N

d) 411 186.3 m/s^2

e) 6 620.1 N

Explanation:

Hi:

a)

The kinetic energy of the bullet is given by the following formula:

K = (1/2) m * v^2

With

    m = 16.1 g = 1.61 x 10^-2 kg

     v = 730 m/s

K = 4 289.8 J

b)

the work-kinetic energy theorem states that the work done on a system is the same as the differnce in kinetic energy of the same. Since the initial state of the bullet was at zero velocity (it was at rest)  Ki = 0, therefore:

W = ΔK = Kf - Ki  = 4 289.8 J

c)

The work done by a force is given by the line intergarl of the force along the trayectory of the system (in this case the bullet).

If we consider a constant force (and average net force) directed along the trayectory of the bullet, the work and the force will be realted by:

W = F * L

Where F is the net force and L is the length of the barrel, that is:

F = (4 289.8 J) / (64.8 cm) = (4 289.8 Nm) / (0.648 m) = 6620.1 N

d)

The acceleration can be found dividing the force by the mass:

a = F/m = (6620.1 N) /(16.1 g) = 411 186.3 m/s^2

e)

The force will have a magnitude equal to c) and direction along the barrel towards the exit
