Light striking a mirror at a 50° angle will be reflected at an angle _____.

Physics

jasenka [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:Actually the answer would be correctly less than 50

Explanation:Because Light is always reflected at an angle equal and opposite to the incoming wave. For example, light striking a mirror at a 45° angle will be reflected in the opposite direction at a 45° angle.

If the torque required to loosen a nut that holds a wheel on a car has a magnitude of 55 n·m, what force must be exerted at the
erastova [34]

Either 175 N or 157 N depending upon how the value of 48° was measured from.    
You didn't mention if the angle of 48° is from the lug wrench itself, or if it's from the normal to the lug wrench. So I'll solve for both cases and you'll need to select the desired answer.    
Since we need a torque of 55 N·m to loosen the nut and our lug wrench is 0.47 m long, that means that we need 55 N·m / 0.47 m = 117 N of usefully applied force in order to loosen the nut. This figure will be used for both possible angles.    
Ideally, the force will have a 0° degree difference from the normal and 100% of the force will be usefully applied. Any value greater than 0° will have the exerted force reduced by the cosine of the angle from the normal. Hence the term "cosine loss".     
If the angle of 48° is from the normal to the lug wrench, the usefully applied power will be:  
U = F*cos(48)  
where  
U = Useful force  
F = Force applied    
So solving for F and calculating gives:  
U = F*cos(48)  
U/cos(48) = F  
117 N/0.669130606 = F  
174.8537563 N = F    
So 175 Newtons of force is required in this situation.    
If the 48° is from the lug wrench itself, that means that the force is 90° - 48° = 42° from the normal. So doing the calculation again (this time from where we started plugging in values) we get  
U/cos(42) = F  
117/0.743144825 = F  
157.4390294 = F    
Or 157 Newtons is required for this case.

An automobile of mass 2000 kg moving at 30 m/s is braked suddenly with a constant braking force of 10000 N. How far does the car
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of automobile = 2000 kg

speed = 30 m/s

Braking force = 10000 N

For, The acceleration is

Using newton's formula

F = ma

Where, f = force

m= mass

a = acceleration

Put the value of F and m into the formula

-10000 =2000\times a

Negative sing shows the braking force.

It shows the direction of force is opposite of the motion.

a = -\dfrac{10000}{2000}

a=-5\ m/s^2

For the distance,

Using third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, v= final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = stopping distance of car

Put the value in the equation

0-30^2=2\times(-5)\times s

s = 90\ m

Hence, The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

Could a person at the south pole see the north star, explain?? ​
9966 [12]

Answer:

If conditions are just right, you can see Polaris from just south of the equator.  Although Polaris is also known as the North Star, it doesn't lie precisely above Earth's North Pole. If it did, Polaris would have a declination of exactly 90 degree.
