Answer:

b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.

c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

Explanation:

a. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection only when a ray of light strikes a plane mirror.

This is wrong: Based on law of reflection "The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when light strikes any plane surface" examples plane mirrors, still waters, plane tables, etc

b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.

This is correct

c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

This is correct

d. For diffuse reflection, the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.

This is wrong: the angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection. The only difference between this type of reflection and specular reflection, is that the normal for diffuse reflection is not parallel to each due to the rough surface in which the light incidents.

For specular reflection, the angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection.

This is wrong: the angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection

A batter hits a 0.140-kg baseball that was approaching him at 19.5 m/s and, as a result, the ball leaves the bat at 44.8 m/s in

Arada [10]

Answer:

5295.3 N

Explanation:

According to law of momentum conservation, the change in momentum of the ball shall be from the momentum generated by the batter force

mv + P = mV

P = mV - mv = m(V - v)

Since the velocity of the ball before and after is in opposite direction, one of them is negative

P = 0.14(44.8 - (-19.5)) = 9 kg m/s

Hence the force exerted to generate such momentum within 1.7ms (0.0017s) is

F = P/t = 9/0.0017 = 5295.3 N

PLEASE SOLVE FAST!!! If the average American watches hours of TV every day , how many minutes will be spent in front of the TV b

masha68 [24]

Answer:

5694000 min

Explanation:

Let's suppose the average American watches 4 hours of TV every day. First, we will calculate how many minutes they watch per day. We will use the conversion factor 1 h = 60 min.

(4 h/day) × (60 min/1 h) = 240 min/day

They watch 240 minutes of TV per day. Now, let's calculate how many minutes they watch per year. We will use the conversion factor 1 year = 365 day.

240 min/day × (365 day/year) = 87600 min/year

They watch 87600 min/year. Finally, let's calculate how many minutes they spend watching TV in 65 years.

87600 min/year × 65 year = 5694000 min

Calculate the electric field associated to an electric dipole for two charges separated 10-8 m with a dipole moment of 10-33 C m

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

18 N/C

Explanation:

Given that:

Electric field constant, k = 9*10^9 N/c

Distance, r = 10^-8 m

Dipole moment, p = 10^-33

Using the relation for electric field due to dipole :

E = [2KP / r³]

E = (2 * (9*10^9) * 10^-33) ÷ (10^-8)^3

E = (18 * 10^9 * 10^-33) ÷ 10^-24

E = [18 * 10^(9-33)] ÷ 10^-24

E = (18 * 10^-24) / 10^-24

E = 18 * 10^-24+24

E = 18 * 10^0

E = 18 N/C
