6 0

Answer:

- 0.6

Explanation:

Given that angle between normal y axis is 62° so angle between  normal

and x axis will be 90- 62 = 28 °. Since incident ray is along x axis , 28 ° will be the angle between incident ray and normal ie it will be angle of incidence

Angle of incidence = 28 °

angle of reflection = 28°

Angle between incident ray and reflected ray = 28 + 28 = 56 °

Angle between x axis and reflected ray = 56 °

x component of reflected ray

= - cos 56 ( it will be towards - ve x axis. )

- 0.6

It'll have a higher frequency.

The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) for a wave
is always the same number ... it's the wave speed. 
So if one of them is small, the other one has to be big.

A 64 kg cross-country skier glides over snow. Thecoefficient
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the skier is 5.309 km

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the skier, m = 64 kg

Coefficient of friction between the ski and the snow, \mu_{k} = 0.50

Mass of snow, M = 5.0 kg

Now,

To calculate the distance, 's' traveled by the skier, in order to melt 5.0 kg of snow:

We know that:

f = \mu_{k}N

where

\mu_{k} = coefficient of friction

N = Normal Reaction

N = mg

Thus

f = \mu_{k}mg                           (1)

Also,

fs = ML_{f}                                  (2)  

where

L_{f} = 3.33\times 10^{5}\ J/kg = Latent Heat of fusion

Thus from eqn (1) and (2):

s = \frac{ML_{f}}{\mu_{k}mg}

s = \frac{5\times 3.33\times 10^{5}}{0.50\times 64\times 9.8}

s = 5.309 km

The graph below is called a heating curve. It shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature a
Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation :

The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.

Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches 0^0\ C and changes to liquid state.

From the attached graph it is clear that until 100^0\ C the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.

So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.
