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. )

The value of the normal force exerted on a 2,000 gram block on a table
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

N = 19.6 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a block, m = 2000 g

1 kg = 1000 g

It means, 2000 g = 2kg

We need to find the value of normal force on the block on a table. Normal force is balanced by the weight of the block as follows :

N = mg, g is acceleration due to gravity

N = 2 kg × 9.8 m/s²

N = 19.6 N

So, the normal force acting on the block is 19.6 N.

When red light and green light shine on the same place on a piece of white paper, the spot appears t obe?
katen-ka-za [31]
When red light and green lights shine on the same place on a piece of white paper, the spot appears to be Yellow in color. Complementary colors are always located directly across from each other on the graphic. For example cyan is located across from red, magenta across from green, and yellow across from blue. When primary color mix the produce secondary colors , for example a red light and a green light will combine to form a yellow color. The production of various colors of light by the mixing of the three primary colors of light is known as color addition.

A proton has a speed of 3.50 Ã 105 m/s when at a point where the potential is +100 V. Later, itâs at a point where the potential
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

(a). The change in the protons electric potential is 0.639 kV.

(b). The change in the potential energy of the proton is 1.022\times10^{-16}\ J

(c). The work done on the proton is -8\times10^{-18}\ J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed v= 3.50\times10^{5}\ m/s

Initial potential V=100 V

Final potential = 150 V

(a). We need to calculate the change in the protons electric potential

Potential energy of the proton is

U=qV=eV

Using conservation of energy

K_{i}+U_{i}=K_{f}+U_{f}

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2+eV_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2+eV_{f}

]\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2-]\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2=e(V_{f}-V_{i})

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2-]\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2=e\Delta V

\Delta V=\dfrac{m(v_{i}^2-v_{f}^2)}{2e}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta V=\dfrac{1.67\times10^{-27}(3.50\times10^{5}-0)^2}{2\times1.6\times10^{-19}}

\Delta V=639.2=0.639\ kV

(b). We need to calculate the change in the potential energy of the proton

Using formula of potential energy

\Delta U=q\Delta V

Put the value into the formula

\Delta U=1.6\times10^{-19}\times639.2

\Delta U=1.022\times10^{-16}\ J

(c). We need to calculate the work done on the proton

Using formula of work done

\Delta U=-W

W=q(V_{2}-V_{1})

W=-1.6\times10^{-19}(150-100)

W=-8\times10^{-18}\ J

Hence, (a). The change in the protons electric potential is 0.639 kV.

(b). The change in the potential energy of the proton is 1.022\times10^{-16}\ J

(c). The work done on the proton is -8\times10^{-18}\ J.

Which best defines transparent and provides an example of a material that is transparent to light?
Crank
<span>Answer: option B. The ability to transmit light; for example water. The transparency is due to the pass of the light. The pass of light is what is called transmission of light. Light may be reflected, refracted or transmitted. Remember light is combination of several waves with different frequencies. When light falls upon an object the interaction may be some frequencies are reflected and other transmitted. Transparent objects are those that permit tha pass of (transmit) most light waves and so let the eyes and instruments to see through them.</span>
