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. )

A car starting from rest (i.e. initial velocity = 0.0 m/s), moves in the positive X-direction with a constant average accelerati
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Final speed of the car, v = 24.49 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 0

Acceleration, a=3.1\ m/s^2

Time taken, t = 7.9 s

We need to find the final velocity of the car. Let it is given by v. It can be calculated using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

v=0+3.1\times 7.9

v = 24.49 m/s

So, the final speed of the car is 24.49 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

f_{e} = 1.7 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of the compound microscope is given by the product of the magnification of each lens

        M = M₀ m_{e}

        M = - L/f₀  25/f_{e}

Where f₀ and f_{e} are the focal lengths of the lens and eyepiece, respectively, all values ​​in centimeters

In this exercise they give us the magnification (M = 400X), the focal length of the lens (f₀ = 0.6 cm), the distance of the tube (L = 16 cm), let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (f_{e})

         f_{e} = - L / f₀ 25 / M

Let's calculate

        f_{e} = - 16 / 0.6 25 / (-400)

        f_{e} = 1.67 cm

The minus sign in the magnification is because the image is inverted.

          f_{e} = 1.7 cm

PLEASE HELP!! DUE SOON!! THANKS BRAINLIEST OFFERED!!
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

real, inverted, and smaller than the object

Explanation:

When the object is placed beyond the center of curvature, the image will formed between the focus and the center of curvature. The size of the image is diminished and its nature is real and inverted.

The whole description is shown in the attached figure. It is clear that the size of the image is smaller than the object.

GenaCL600 [577]

The beginning development of a star is marked by a supernova explosion, with the gases present in the nebula being forced to scatter. As the star shrinks, radiation of the surface increases and create pressure on the outside shell to push it away and forming a planetary nebula or white dwarf.

A train is moving in a straight railway where it covered one third of the distance with
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

<em>The average speed of the train is 45 km/h</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed</u>

It's defined as the distance (d) per unit of time (t) traveled by an object. The formula is:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Let's call x the total distance covered by the train. It covered d1=1/3x with a speed of v1=25 km/h. The time taken is calculated solving for t:

\displaystyle t_1=\frac{d_1}{v_1}

\displaystyle t_1=\frac{1/3x}{25}

\displaystyle t_1=\frac{x}{75}

Now the rest of the distance:

d2 = x - 1/3x = 2/3x

Was covered at v2=75 km/h. Thus the time taken is:

\displaystyle t_2=\frac{d_2}{v_2}

\displaystyle t_2=\frac{2/3x}{75}

\displaystyle t_2=\frac{2x}{225}

The total time is:

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{x}{75}+\frac{2x}{225}

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{3x}{225}+\frac{2x}{225}

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{5x}{225}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{x}{45}

The average speed is the total distance divided by the total time:

\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{\frac{x}{45}}

Simplifying:

\boxed{\displaystyle \bar v=45\ km/h}

The average speed of the train is 45 km/h
