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

The distance D where the object comes to rest is 1.08.m.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>
  • The separation of one thing from another in space; the distance or separation in space between two objects, points, lines, etc.; remoteness. The distance of seven miles cannot be accomplished in one hour of walking.
  • Learn how to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the separation between two points using the distance formula. The Pythagorean theorem can be rewritten as d==(((x 2-x 1)2+(y 2-y 1)2)
  • The distance between any two places is the length of the line segment separating them. By measuring the length of the line segment that connects the two points in coordinate geometry, the distance between them may be calculated.

(c) the distance D where the object comes to rest.

W_{total} =ΔKE ⇒ -0.25*1*9.8*D = 0-1/2*1*2.3^{2}

⇒D=\frac{0.5*2.3^{2} }{2.45}

⇒1.08.m

If an object has a mass of 20 grams and a volume of 40 cm3, what is its density in g/cm3?
sattari [20]
Density = Mass/Volume 
So, given mass = 20 g and volume = 40 cm^3 
By substituting in above equation, Density = 20/40 = 0.5 g/cm^3
Hope it helps.

What is the stretch when you pull with a force of 25 N on a spring with a spring constant of 8 N/m? *
Pani-rosa [81]

Hooke's Law

\tt F=k.\Delta x

k = spring constant

x = stretch

F = force

Input the value

\tt \Delta x=\dfrac{F}{k}=\dfrac{25}{8}=3.125\rightarrow 3.13\:m

A body of mass 2 kg is moving in the positive X-Direction with a speed of 4 m/s collides head on with an another body of mass 3
Inga [223]
m_1=2 \\ m_2=3 \\ v_1=4 \\ v_2=1 \\ v\text{ =speed after collision (to be determined)}.

The momentul of the system preserves:

m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \ \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ v=\dfrac{m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}.

Ok, we found the speed after the collision.
Now, because the impact is plastic, it produces heat, sound energy and who knows what other forms of energy. We denote all this wasted energy with E.

Now, we write the energy conservation law:

\dfrac{m_1v_1^2}{2}+\dfrac{m_2v^2_2}{2}=\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v^2}{2}+E

From the above equation, you find E,  and then conclude that the sound energy can certainly not be greater than this.

What impact do ocean currents have on the transfer of energy and climate
maxonik [38]

Answer:

It moderates the temperature of coastal areas. The cool waters brought into warm areas temper the climate as well as the warm waters that enter a cool area there by moderating temperatures and climates.

Explanation:

One way that the world’s ocean affects weather and climate is by playing an important role in keeping our planet warm. The majority of radiation from the sun is absorbed by the ocean, particularly in tropical waters around the equator, where the ocean acts like a massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Land areas also absorb some sunlight, and the atmosphere helps to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.

The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area.

Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides. Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines.

Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents in the ocean, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.
