Answer:

θ₂ = 90° - θ₁

Explanation:

When the light falls on a mirror it bounces back. This is know as reflection. The incident angle is equal to the angle of reflection.

Here, the light strikes the mirror at an angle = θ₁

To find the angle of reflection we first need to understand angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is the angle made between the incident ray and normal. Normal is an imaginary line drawn perpendicular line on the boundary of the mirror.

Since the light strikes the mirror at angle of θ₁, which is the angle between light ray and the mirror.

Angle of incidence = 90° - θ₁.

Thus, angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁

a horizontal force of 100N is required to push a crate across a factory floor at a constant speed. What is the net force acting
Bas_tet [7]

If the crate is moving along the floor in the same direction with a constant speed, it is in dynamic equilibrium. Equilibrium means there is no net force acting on the crate.

Since there is no net force on the crate, there must be a friction force on the crate equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the applied horizontal force. Therefore the force of friction acting on the crate is 100N.

Suppose you are asked to find the amount of time t, in seconds, it takes for the turntable to reach its final rotational speed.
Annette [7]

Answer:

option (D)

Explanation:

Here initial rotation speed is given, final rotation speed is given and asking for time.

If we use

A) θ=θ0+ω0t+(1/2)αt2

For this equation, we don't have any information about the value of angular displacement and angular acceleration, so it is not useful.

B) ω=ω0+αt

For this equation, we don't have any information about angular acceleration, so it is not useful.

C) ω2=ω02+2α(θ−θ0)

In this equation, time is not included, so it is not useful.

D) So, more information is needed.

Thus, option (D) is true.

If a car moves with a uniform speed of 2m/s in a circle of radius 0.4m, what is its angular speed?
REY [17]

Answer:

The car's angular speed is \frac{rad}{s}.

Explanation:

Angular velocity is usually measured with \frac{radians}{sec}, so I'm going to use that to answer your question.

The relationship between tangential velocity and angular velocity (ω)  is given by:

V = \omega R

Using the values from the question, we get:

2 \frac{m}{s} = \omega (0.4m)

\omega = 5 \frac{rad}{s}

Therefore, the car's angular speed is 5 \frac{rad}{s}.

Hope this helped!

Why does cold weather feel colder inside?
schepotkina [342]
One reason is that when you have been out in the cold, your hands feet and exposed features of your face will take time to recover as the blood circulation improves and supplied warm blood to capillaries. So the relatively warm room you enter will not immediately feel warm until the blood has regained its normal circulation. Other factors are that windows are cooled from the outside and condensation forms on the inside because of moisture in the air. For this condensation to evaporate requires heat, which will be extracted from the room and the air near the windows will be cooled. The cold air will descend and form a draught at floor level and this will tend to make the room cooler.
