Answer:

54.6°

Explanation:

From law of reflection i=r.

So, construct the reflected ray at 55.7°degrees from the normal and let it fall on the other mirror.  

Now draw the second normal at the point of incidence and again measure the angle of incidence, and draw the angle of reflection.

If you consider triangle AOB, one angle is ∠AOB=90°

 and ∠OAB is 54.6°

 

From angle sum property third angle ie ∠ABO=180°-90°-54.6°=35.4°

 

So, the second incident angle will be 54.6°

Hence, the second reflected angle will be 54.6 degrees.

Answer: It's hard to say without characterizing the collision. But it will be either A if the collision is totally in-elastic, or B if the collision is totally elastic. It could be anywhere in between for partially elastic collisions.

Explanation:

momentum is conserved, so initial system momentum will be left to right.

The velocity of the center of mass is 50(5) / 550 = 0.4545... m/s

In an elastic collision, the lead ball will move off at twice that speed or 0.91 m/s to the right.

The steel ball will bounce back and move away at 0.91 - 5 = -4.1 m/s . The negative sign indicates the steel ball has reversed course and has negative momentum

In a totally in-elastic collision, both balls would move to the right at 0.45 m/s. The steel ball will still have positive momentum.

Can a higher mass-to-light ratio mean that there is gas and dust present in the system that is being analyzed?
kramer

Answer:

mass-to-light ratio is the ratio of the mass of a body and the light output it has. it is represented by in terms of a single number and and tells us about the kind of stars making up the most luminous population in a galaxy. the mass-to-ratio of stars is greater than 1, for dark matter is 100 times high and very low for dust. higher mass-to-ratio mean that in a galaxy on average every solar mass emits a light less than the sun of the earth solar system does.

the large mass-to-light ratio shows that gas and dust is being analyzed.

An electric motor has an effective resistance of 29. 4 ω and an inductive reactance of 42. 6 ω. When working under load. the rms voltage across the alternating source is 442 v.  The rms current will be  8.54 A

AC stands for “Alternating Current,” meaning voltage or current that changes polarity or direction, respectively, over time. AC electromechanical generators, known as alternators, are of simpler construction than DC electromechanical generators.

RMS or root mean square current/voltage of the alternating current/voltage represents the D.C current/voltage that dissipates the same amount of power as the average power dissipated by the alternating current/voltage. For sinusoidal oscillations, the RMS value equals peak value divided by the square root of 2.

I (RMS) = RMS voltage / \sqrt{R^{2}+ X_{L} { ^{2}  }

           =  442 / \sqrt{29.4^{2} + 42.6^{2}  }

           = 442 / \sqrt{864.36 + 1814.76}

           = 442 / \sqrt{2679.12}

           = 8.54 A
