Answer:

Explanation:

The definitions for the angle of incidence and angle of reflection are the following:

- The angle of incidence is the angle between the direction of the incoming ray and the normal to the surface

- The angle of reflection is the angle between the direction of the reflected ray and the normal to the surface

Therefore, in the picture attached:

- B is the angle of incidence

- C is the angle of reflection

The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

Answer:

wavelength.

Explanation:

One complete expression of a waveform beginning at a certain point, progressing through the zero line to the wave’s highest (crest) and lowest (trough) points, and returning to the same value as the starting point is called a is called wavelength. Its can be also defined as the distance between two successive crests or trough points in wave form.

At which of the following angles will the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area?

AleksandrR [38]

The angle at which the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area is 10°. Last option is correct.

<h3>What is sunlight?</h3>

The light coming from the Sun reaching the Earth's surface is called as Sunlight.

When the sun is overhead, the intensity is high because sun's rays are perpendicular to the earth's surface, so the energy spreads over a small area and the heat is too high in that region.

When, the angle is smaller, the sunlight will spread out over a larger area.

Thus, at 10° the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area. Last option is correct.

If the net force is 4 N, and Frankie is pulling the rope with 7 N, Carol must be pulling the rope with 11 N (I think that Carol is going to win the tug-of-war...).

provides some pertinent background for this problem. A pendulum is constructed from a thin, rigid, and uniform rod with a small

gavmur [86]

Answer:

the period of the physical pendulum is 0.498 s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

$T_{simple$ = 0.61 s

we know that, the relationship between T and angular frequency is;

T = 2π/ω ---------- let this be equation 1

Also, the angular frequency of physical pendulum is;

ω = √(mgL / $I$ ) ------ let this equation 2

where m is mass of pendulum, L is distance between axis of rotation and the center of gravity of rod and $I$ is moment of inertia of rod.

Now, moment of inertia of thin uniform rod D is;

$I$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ mD²

since we were not given the length of the rod but rather the period of the simple pendulum, lets combine this three equations.

we substitute equation 2 into equation 1

we have;

T = 2π/ω OR T = 2π/√(mgL/ $I$ ) OR T = 2π√( $I$ /mgL)

so we can use $I$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ mD² for moment of inertia of the rod

Since center of gravity of the uniform rod lies at the center of rod

so that L = $\frac{1}{2}$ D.

now, substituting these equations, the period becomes;

T = 2π/√( $I$ /mgL) OR T = $2\pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{1}{3}mD^2 }{mg(\frac{1}{2})D } }$ OR T = 2π√(2D/3g ) ----- equation 3

length of rod D is still unknown, so from equation 1 and 2 ( period of pendulum ),

we have;

ω $_{simple$ = 2π/ $T_{simple$ OR ω $_{simple$ = √(g/D) OR ω $_{simple$ = 2π√( D/g )

so we simple solve for D/g and insert into equation 3

so we have;

T = √(2/3) × $T_{simple$

we substitute in value of $T_{simple$

T = √(2/3) × 0.61 s

T = 0.498 s

Therefore, the period of the physical pendulum is 0.498 s
