normal force because it is perpendicular to the surface
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.
Answer:
a. 120 W
b. 28.8 N
Explanation:
To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.
a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.
b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?
(a)
He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward
Power = efficiency X metabolic power
= 0.25 X 480
= 120 W
(b)
power if force times the velocity
P = Fv
convert 15 km/h to m/s
v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s
F = P/v
= 120/4.166
= 28.8 N
definition of terms
power is the rate at which work is done
force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line
velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.
Answer;
D. ocean currents might change course.
Explanation;
Ocean currents are the directed movements of water in the ocean and can be caused by wind (for currents closer to the surface) and temperature, salinity, or density differences (currents deeper in the ocean). Ocean currents help to warm or cool certain parts of the earth by carrying warmer water northward or cooler water toward the equator.
Climate change can have a vast effect on ocean currents because of the change in temperature it causes, which results in change in ocean water temperatures and a subsequent distortion in current flow.
