Answer:

i. The error is the rough convex mirror.

ii. This should be replaced with a smooth convex morror.

Explanation:

Reflection is dependent on the surface involved and has two types; diffuse and specular. When the surface is rough, diffused reflection is observed. The surface causes a distortion of the incident light (the rays would be reflected at different angles to one another) after reflection. This makes some rays to interfere with one another. While specular reflection is observed with a smooth surface.

In the statement, the rough convex mirror would produce a distorted reflection which would produce diffused reflection. The effect is that few or no rays (depending on the degree of how rough the surfce is) would be reflected to the other smooth, flat diagonal mirror.

In 8.4 s a fisherman winds 2.9 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 3.0 cm (assumed to be constant as an approximation)

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The angular speed of the reel is 11.33 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

The fisherman takes t = 8.4 s to wind distance x = 2.9 m into a circle radius of r = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Than the tangencial speed equals the change in the distance to the time

v = $\frac{x}{t}$ = $\frac{2.9 m}{8.4 s} = 0.34 \frac{m}{s}$

Knowing the tangencial velocity is proportional to the radius r and the angular velocity

v = r*w

w = $\frac{0.34 m/s}{0.03 m} = 11.33 \frac{rad}{s}$

When two forces are acting a body in opposite direction their resultant become 6N and when they are acting in the same direction

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

9 and 3 N

Explanation:

Forces in the same direction sum up to produce the resultant force;

One force subtract the other will give the resultant force when they are in opposite directions;

Lets say one direction is forwards and the opposite backwards;

We have one force, let's say force A, in the forwards direction and another force, force B, acting in the same (forwards) or opposite (backwards) direction;

If B is acting in the same direction, then the resultant force (in this case) will be as follows:

A + B = 12

If B is acting in the opposite direction, then the resultant force will be as follows:
A - B = 6

Summing the two equations will allow us to solve for A:

A + B + (A - B) = 12 + 6

2A = 18

A = 9

Substitute this into either of the above equations and we can solve for B:
(9) - B = 6

B = 9 - 6

B = 3
