As I understand, a "wave" means "electromagnetic wave," or "light." These waves may reflect from a mirror (other waves also may reflect, for example, waves on a water surface may reflect from a wall).

The main law of reflection is that an angle of reflection is the same as an angle of incidence. They are both measured from the normal at the point of incidence (normal is a straight line perpendicular to a mirror...

victus00 [196]

Answer:

1.001 m

Explanation:

We have to find the least measurement of the instrument.

In this case the least measurement = 1 mm

                                                           = (1/1000) m

                                                           = 0.001 m

The measurement that is precise from this instrument should be to the nearest thousandth when taken in meters.

Therefore the answer is: 1.001 m

luda_lava [24]

To solve this problem it will be necessary to apply the equilibrium conditions. At the same time, it is necessary to make a free body diagram that allows clarifying the origin of the forces with their respective components used to generate the system of equations that allow us to determine the value of the necessary Angle.

As show in free body diagram we have that

F_w = Force due to wall

F_r= Frictional force

N = Normal Force

For equilibrium the moments about point A must be zero, then

\sum M_A = 0

(F_w sin\theta)(L)-(mgcos\alpha)(\frac{L}{2})=0

F_w = \frac{mg}{2tan\alpha}

And similarly the equilibrium with the force show us that,

\sum F_x = 0

N = mg

\sum F_y = 0

F_w = F_r = \mu_s N

From above equation and replacing we have then

\frac{mg}{2tan\alpha} = \mu_sN

\frac{mg}{2tan\alpha} = \mu_s (mg)

tan\alpha = \frac{1}{2\mu_s}

Therefore for equilibrium

tan\alpha >\frac{1}{2\mu_s}

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

\boxed {Density = 4800 kg/m^{3}}

Explanation:

<u>Formula</u> :

\boxed {Density = \frac{Mass (kg)}{Volume (m^{3})}}

<u>Convert volume into standard unit</u> :

⇒ 250000 cm³ × 10⁻⁶

⇒ 0.25 × 10⁶ × 10⁻⁶

⇒ 0.25 m³

<u>Solve for density</u> :

⇒ Density = 1200 kg / 0.25 m³

⇒ Density = 1200 × 4 kg/m³

⇒ Density = 4800 kg/m³
