If the angle of incidence of a light source to a shiny surface is 30 degrees, what will the angle
Virty [35]
<h3>Answer: D) 30</h3>

Angle of incidence always equals angle of reflection. Think of a tennis ball being hit into a wall. The ball will bounce off at the same angle that it approached with. The angles mentioned are formed through the line called the "normal", which is the line perpendicular to the surface.

10,500 J of GPE, weight 539 N, how tall is the hill you are sitting on?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

19.48 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy = mgh

Current weight = 539 N

Weight = mg = 539 N

Mass x Acceleration = 539 N

Mass x 9.81 = 539

Mass = 54.94 kg

Gravitational potential energy = mgh = 10500 J

                    54.94 x 9.81 x h = 10500

                               h = 19.48 m

Height of sitting = 19.48 m

The dimensions of a cylinder are changing, but the height is always equal to the diameter of the base of the cylinder. If the he
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

dV/dt  = 9 cubic inches per second

Explanation:

Let the height of the cylinder is h

Diameter of cylinder = height of the cylinder = h

Radius of cylinder, r = h/2

dh/dt = 3 inches /s

Volume of cylinder is given by

V = \pi r^{2}h

put r = h/2 so,

V = \pi \frac{h^{3}}{4}

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3h^{2}}{4}\times \frac{dh}{dt}

Substitute the values, h = 2 inches, dh/dt = 3 inches / s

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3\times 2\times 2}{4}\times 3

dV/dt  = 9 cubic inches per second

Thus, the volume of cylinder increases by the rate of 9 cubic inches per second.
