Angle, θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

θ1 = 64°

So, α will also be 64°

According to the figure:

α + β = 90°

So,

β = 90° - α

= 90° - 64°

= 26°

β + γ + 120° = 180°

γ = 180° - 120° - β

γ = 180° - 120° - 26°

γ = 34°

γ + δ = 90°

δ = 90° - γ

δ = 90° - 34°

δ = 56°

According to the law of reflection,

angle of incidence = angle of reflection

θ2 = δ = 56°

Therefore, angle θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

What two factors affect the gravitational force between two objects

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

When dealing with the force of gravity between two objects, there are only two things that are important – mass, and distance. The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.Explanation:

Consider a 2.54-cm-diameter power line for which the potential difference from the ground, 19.6 m below, to the power line is 11

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The line charge density is $1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 2.54 cm

Distance = 19.6 m

Potential difference = 115 kV

We need to calculate the line charge density

Using formula of potential difference

$V=EA$

$V=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}r}\times\pi r^2$

$\lambda=\dfrac{V\times2\epsilon_{0}}{r}$

Where, r = radius

V = potential difference

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{115\times10^{3}\times2\times8.8\times10^{-12}}{1.27\times10^{-2}}$

$\lambda=1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m$

Hence, The line charge density is $1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m$

The force exerted by the wind on the sails of a sailboat is Fsail = 330 N north. The water exerts a force of Fkeel = 210 N east.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is $a_r = 1.50 \ m/s^2$

The direction is $\theta = 32.5 6^o$ north of east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The force exerted by the wind is $F_{sail} = (330 ) \ N \ north$

The force exerted by water is $F_{keel} = (210 ) \ N \ east$

The mass of the boat(+ crew) is $m_b = 260 \ kg$

Now Force is mathematically represented as

$F = ma$

Now the acceleration towards the north is mathematically represented as

$a_n = \frac{F_{sail}}{m_b}$

substituting values

$a_n = \frac{330 }{260}$

$a_n = 1.269 \ m/s^2$

Now the acceleration towards the east is mathematically represented as

$a_e = \frac{F_{keel}}{m_b }$

substituting values

$a_e = \frac{210}{260}$

$a_e =0.808 \ m/s^2$

The resultant acceleration is

$a_r = \sqrt{a_e^2 + a_n^2}$

substituting values

$a_r = \sqrt{(0.808)^2 + (1.269)^2}$

$a_r = 1.50 \ m/s^2$

The direction with reference from the north is evaluated as

Apply SOHCAHTOA

$tan \theta = \frac{a_e}{a_n}$

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{a_e}{a_n } ]$

substituting values

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{0.808}{1.269 } ]$

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [0.636 ]$

$\theta = 32.5 6^o$
