The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In attached diagram, a light ray approaching the mirror is known as an incident ray (I) whereas the light beam coming out of the mirror is called the reflected ray (R). At the intersection where the beam meets the mirror, you can draw a line perpendicular to the mirror surface.

This line is called as the normal (N) line. Normal divides the angle between the incident and the reflected rays into two equal angle. The angles between the incident and normal beam is called the incidence angle (\theta_{i}). The angle between the reflected beam and the normal one is called the reflection angle(\theta_{r}).

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t
enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}

v_{avg} = 5m/s

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}

5 = 9 - v_{wind}

v_{wind}= 4 m/s

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}

v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s

now we can find the time to go back

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

time = \frac{6000}{13}

time = 7.7 minutes

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min

now when there is no wind total time is given by

T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}

T = 22.22 min

So due to wind time will be more

Why do things cling in magnets
Ber [7]

A magnet is any object that has a magnetic field. It attracts ferrous objects like pieces of iron, steel, nickel and cobalt. In the early days, the Greeks observed that the naturally occurring 'lodestone' attracted iron pieces. From that day onwards began the journey into the discovery of magnets.

These days magnets are made artificially in various shapes and sizes depending on their use. One of the most common magnets - the bar magnet - is a long, rectangular bar of uniform cross-section that attracts pieces of ferrous objects. The magnetic compass needle is also commonly used. The compass needle is a tiny magnet which is free to move horizontally on a pivot. One end of the compass needle points in the North direction and the other end points in the South direction.

The end of a freely pivoted magnet will always point in the North-South direction. The end that points in the North is called the North Pole of the magnet and the end that points South is called the South Pole of the magnet. It has been proven by experiments that like magnetic poles repel each other whereas unlike poles attract each other.

A proton with mass 1.67*10^-27kg is propelled at an initialspeed of 3.00*10^5m/s directly toward a uranium nucleus 5.00maway. Th
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ / x²

Work done by electric field of nucleus

W = ∫ Fdx

= ∫2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ / x² dx

= 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ ( - 1 / x )

= - 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ ( 1/5 - 1 / 8 x 10⁻¹⁰ )

= - .265 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

1/ 2 x mv² = .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9 x 10¹⁰ - .265 x 10⁻¹⁶

= 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷ - .265 x 10⁻¹⁶

=( .7515 - .265 )x 10⁻¹⁶

= .4865 x 10⁻¹⁶

.5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x v² = .4865 x 10⁻¹⁶

v² = .5826 x 10¹¹

v² = 5.826 x 10¹⁰

v = 2.41 x 10⁵ m /s

b )

Let r be the closest distance

Potential at this point

2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ (  1 / r )

Kinetic energy

= 0

Total energy = 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ (  1 / r )

Total energy at 5 m

= .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9 x 10¹⁰ + 0 ( potential energy at 5 m will be negligible as compared with that near the center )

= 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

So ,

2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ (  1 / r ) = 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷

r = 2.12 x 10⁻²⁶ / 7.515 x 10⁻¹⁷

= .282 x 10⁻⁹

= 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

c ) As electric field is conservative , no dissipation of energy takes place . Hence its speed at 5m on returning back to this point will be same as

3.00 x 10⁵ m /s

A satellite travels with a constant speed |v| as it moves around a circle centered on the earth. How much work is done by the gr
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

W = 0

Explanation:

As the satellite moves in a circle the force is perpendicular to the path, therefore the work that is defined by

      W = F. r = f r cos θ

Since the force and the radius are perpendicular, the angle θ = 90º and the cosine 90 = 0, therefore there is no work for the circular motion.

W = 0
