Answer:

It is Reflection of light from water surface

Explanation:

When light coming from the mountains incident on the stationary water surface then major proportion of light gets reflected from the surface of water and this will received by the observer eye.

We also know that when light beam gets reflected into the form of beam then it is known as regular reflection.

Here when water surface is calm then the surface is assumed to be plane and in this case the light gets reflected by the surface of water in same direction and we got a good image in the water.

So this property of image is due to reflection of light.

a swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of 9.50 m/s. he intends to swim directly across the river that has a downstream cur
Doss [256]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Still-water speed  = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.

The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.

The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s

The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°

Answer:  10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.

A car accelerates from 20mi/hr to 60mi/hr. How many times greater is the car's kinetic energy at the higher speed compared to th
Ainat [17]

Answer:

9 times

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ mv²

When we triple the velocity, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 9.

9KE = ½ m(3v)²

A 0.18-kg turntable of radius 0.32 m spins about a vertical axis through its center. A constant rotational acceleration causes t
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Angular acceleration will be 18.84rad/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given that mass m = 0.18 kg

Radius r = 0.32 m

Initial angular velocity \omega _i=0rev/sec

And final angular velocity \omega _f=24rev/sec

Time is given as t = 8 sec

From equation of motion

We know that \omega _f=\omega _i+\alpha t

24=0+\alpha \times 8

\alpha =3rev/sec^2=3\times 2\times \pi rad/sec^2=18.84rad/sec^2

So angular acceleration will be 18.84rad/sec^2
