An imaginary line perpendicular to a reflecting surface is called refrac_.

1 answer:

4 0

Not totally sure but i would say a normal? its not refraction or incidence if its perpendicular and i dont think its a mirror if its an imaginary line so yeah normal (normals are always perpendicular to their surface too i think so)

A cylinder measuring wide and high is filled with gas. The piston is pushed down with a steady force measured to be . Calculate

jekas [21]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the given cylinder is 2.6 cm wide and its height is 3.1 cm. And, when piston is pushed down then the steady force is equal to 15 N.

Now, radius of the cylinder will be as follows.

r = $\frac{diameter}{2}$

= $\frac{2.6 cm}{2}$

= 1.3 cm

or, = 0.013 m (as 1 m = 100 cm)

As, area of cylinder = $\pi \times r^{2}$

= $3.414 \times (0.013 m)^{2}$

= $5.77 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}$

Relation between pressure and force is as follows.

Pressure = $\frac{Force}{Area}$

= $\frac{15 N}{5.77 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}}$

= 25996 $N/m^{2}$

Since, 1 $N/m^{2}$ = 1 Pa (as 1 kPa = 1000 Pa)

Therefore, P = 25996 $N/m^{2}$

= 25.99 kPa

= 26 kPa (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that pressure of the gas inside the cylinder is 26 kPa.

Which state of matter has the highest entropy

KatRina [158]

<h2>Answer: gaseous state</h2>

Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system and is a function of state. That is, it depends only on the state of the system.

In this sense, in <u>the gaseous state is where the greatest entropy occurs</u>, since in a gas the particles acquire greater freedom and kinetic energy to move.

Another aspect that influences the increase in entropy is the increase in temperature. This is because, when raising the temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecules, atoms or ions increases, and, therefore, they move more.

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 490 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 17.5 ns . When a sla

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

196 nm

Explanation:

Given that

Value of wavelength, = 490 nm

Time spent in air, t(a) = 17.5 ns

Thickness of glass, th = 0.8 m

Time spent in glass, t(g) = 21.5 ns

Speed of light in a vacuum, c = 3*10^8 m/s

To start with, we find the difference between the two time spent

Time spent on glass - Time spent in air

21.5 - 17.5 = 4 ns

0.8/(c/n) - 0.8/c = 4 ns

Note, light travels with c/n speed in media that has index of refraction

(n - 1) * 0.8/c = 4 ns

n - 1 = (4 ns * c) / 0.8

n - 1 = (4*10^-9 * 3*10^8) / 0.8

n - 1 = 1.2/0.8

n - 1 = 1.5

n = 1.5 + 1

n = 2.5

As a result, the wavelength of light in a medium with index of refraction would then be

490 / 2.5 = 196 nm

Therefore, our answer is 196 nm

Hello....I need help with this question.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

3.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration can be calculated as:

v = u + at (where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time)

25 m/s = 9 m/s + a(5 s) (a is unknown)

16 m/s = a(5 s)

a = 3.2 m/s²

We assume that this is a uniform acceleration (meaning that the velocity increases at an equal rate for those 5 seconds).
