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

A base is a substance that's the chemical opposite of an acid.<br> True or false
anygoal [31]

True

Explanation:

A base is a substance that is often used as the chemical opposite of an acid.

Both behaves in opposite way to one another.

They can be said to complementary or conjugate chemicals.

  • According to Bronsted-Lowry  theory, an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor.
  • The lewis theory states that an acid is an electron pair acceptor while a base is an electron pair donor.
  • Acids turn blue litmus paper red and bases turns red litmus paper blue.

In science, Bob learns that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplitude. If the energy of
KIM [24]
The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplitude. Therefore, E = A² where A is the amplitude. This therefore means when the amplitude of a wave is doubled the energy will be quadrupled, when the amplitude is tripled the energy increases by a nine fold and so on.
Thus, in this case if the energy is 4J, then the amplitude will be  √4 = 2 .

ollegr [7]
The displacement is the shortest distance between two points, which is 546.41. The displacement for both is 546.41 meters

Average velocity of X = (200 + 200 + 200) / 30
Average velocity of X = 20 m/s

Average velocity of Y = 546.41 / 30 = 18.2 m/s

Rocket engineers use newton's third law during launch. identify the action force.
rosijanka [135]
The answer is A. Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A rocket exerts a large force on the gas that is in the rocket chamber (action). The gas thus exerts a large reaction force forward on the rocket (reaction). The large reaction force is called thrust.
