Kipish [7]4 years ago

The collapsed answer of Penchalreddy Badepalli is correct. The composition of two reflections via two mirror making an angle \alpha is equivalent to a single rotation by an angle 2\alpha, hence 2 * 60 deg = 120 deg. And turns is independent of the absolute orientation of the two mirrors in space and/or the direction of incidence of the incoming ray.

One could use elementary geometry to prove this (if you presume the direction of incidence is irrelevant imagine hitting the first mirror at 90 deg, then going retro right back along the normal to the first mirror, and follow the directions).

A super ball is dropped from a height of 100 feet. Each time it bounces, it rebounds half the distance it falls. How many feet w
Crank

The total distance travelled by the ball after the fourth impact is 275 feet.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Height, h = 100 feet

Rebounds half the distance

Distance in feet for the fourth time, x = ?

For the first time, the distance travelled by the ball is, x = 100 feet

For the second time, it will bounce up to 50 feet and fall upto 50 feet( half of 100 feet)

So, the distance travelled after the second impact, x = 100 + 50 + 50 = 200 feet

For the third time, it will bounce up to 25 feet and fall upto 25 feet( half of 50 feet)

So, the distance travelled after the third impact, x = 200 + 25 + 25 = 250 feet

For the fourth time, it will bounce up to 12.5 feet and fall upto 12.5 feet( half of 25 feet)

So, the distance travelled after the fourth impact, x = 250 + 12.5 + 12.5 = 275 feet

Therefore, total distance travelled by the ball after the fourth impact is 275 feet.

20.Two balls are in motion. A 2-kg ball moving at 4m/s and a 4-kg ball moving at 2m/s, which one has greater kinetic energy? a.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Given that two balls are in motion. A 2-kg ball moving at 4m/s and a 4-kg ball moving at 2m/s, which one has greater kinetic energy? a. 2 kg ball moving at 4 m/s c. Both balls have the same KE b. 4 kg ball moving at 2 m/s d. Cannot be determined

The formula for kinetic energy is :

K.E = 1/2mv^2

A 2-kg ball moving at 4m/s will have kinetic energy of 1/2 × 2 × 4^2

K.E = 16J

and a 4-kg ball moving at 2m/s will have kinetic energy of 1/2 × 4 × 2^2

K.E = 2 × 4

K.E = 8J

which one has greater kinetic energy? Definitely it is a 2 kg ball moving at 4 m/s. Since 16J is greater than 8J. The correct answer is A.
