A light ray travels in the +x direction and strikes a slanted surface with an angle of 62° between its normal and the ty axis. T

he surface is a clear solid with an index of refraction 1.33. What is the x component of the direction of the resulting reflected light ray?

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

White raven [17]
So, there should be two forces acting on the refrigerator: the applied force and the friction force.

The question mentioned that the friction force was set to zero, so the only effective force now would be the applied force.

We have an applied force of 400 N to the right, this means that:
<span>The magnitude of the net force is 400, directed to the right.</span>

Alja [10]

v = v₀ + at

v = final speed, v₀ = initial speed, a = acceleration, t = elapsed time

Given values:

v₀ = 0m/s (starts from rest), a = 9.81m/s², t = 3s

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 0 + 9.81(3)

v = 29.4m/s

An object has an average acceleration of +6.18 m/s2 for 0.266 s . At the end of this time the object's velocity is +9.90 m/s .
Archy [21]

At the start of the 0.266 s, the object's speed was 8.26 m/s.

The question can only be talking about speed, not velocity.
