When the mirror is rotated, the normal will turn as well, but will the incident Ray and reflected ray turn?

1 answer:

6 0

When a mirror is rotated . . .

-- The incident ray doesn't turn. It's just the line from the source to the mirror.
It would be there, in the same place, even if there was no mirror.

-- The normal turns. It's the line perpendicular to the mirror, so it must turn
with the mirror.

-- Since the normal tuns and the incident ray doesn't, the angle between them
must change. And since the angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of
the incident ray, the reflected ray must also turn.

A bus travels a distance of 120 km with a speed of 40km per hour and returns with a speed of 30km per hour calculate the average

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

35 km/hr

Explanation:

Average speed = (total of the speed)/(the sets of speeds given)

Direction does not matter in this instance since speed is only magnitude,

Average speed = (30 + 40)/2

Average speed = 70 ÷ 2

= 35 km/hr

Please help me with a speech.The topic of my speech is Passion.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Passion

For me, standing on the summit of Mt Everest was the result of following a process. The process of mountaineering. I love mountaineering. I am passionate about it. I love the months of planning for an expedition, the months of sweating and training to prepare my body physically. The meticulous preparation of my equipment. Most of all I love the huge mental challenge I have to overcome before each climb to confront my own fear. All these reasons are why I climb, they are why I climbed Mt Everest and that is why I continue to climb.

Passion is an enormously powerful force. It gives us the strength to get through hard times and setbacks. It gives us strength to overcome our fears, to ignore what other people think of us, to be disciplined and make sacrifices in pursuit of our dreams. Passionate people do not want to take shortcuts – they consider that ‘learning the process’ is an important part of the journey.

In mountaineering it’s easy to spot those who are not passionate about the process. They want to stand on top of the mountain but they are not really interested in the process of climbing the mountain. I feel for these people. Success without hard work is a hollow, empty feeling. They never last long in the sport.

Just as in life, successful mountaineers are the ones who are passionate. They are not there just to stand on the summit. Their passion gives them the energy to work the hardest, fight the longest, and in the words of Winston Churchill “never, never. never give-up”.

A sphere is charged with electrons to

pishuonlain [190]

A sphere is charged with electrons to −9 × 10−6 C. The value given is the total charge of all the electrons present in the sphere. To calculate the number of electrons in the sphere, we divide the the total charge with the charge of one electron.

N = 9 × 10−6 C / 1.6 × 10−19 C
N = 5.6 x 10^13
