The correct answer is letter C. The angle of incidence is equal to 55 degrees. This is because Specular Reflection refers to mirror-like reflection of light or other kinds of waves from a surface. This phenomenon is where light from a single incoming direction is also reflection in a single-outgoing direction.

Answer: The correct answer is option (c).

Explanation:

According Laws of reflection:

1) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, ∠i=∠r.

2)The incident ray , reflected ray and the normal drawn to the surface of the mirror (here smooth reflecting surface) all lies in the sample plane.

So, according to the question a light is reflected back at the angle of 55° which means that angle of the incident ray with the reflection surface is 55° .

Hence the correct answer is option(c).

A 3.00 kg object is moving in the XY plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 5t³ !1 and y = 3t ² + 2, where x and y are
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The net force acting on this object is 180.89 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 3.00 kg

Coordinate of position of x= 5t^3+1

Coordinate of position of y=3t^2+2

Time = 2.00 s

We need to calculate the acceleration

a = \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}

For x coordinates

x=5t^3+1

On differentiate w.r.to t

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=15t^2+0

On differentiate again w.r.to t

\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}=30t

The acceleration in x axis at 2 sec

a = 60i

For y coordinates

y=3t^2+2

On differentiate w.r.to t

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=6t+0

On differentiate again w.r.to t

\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}=6

The acceleration in y axis at 2 sec

a = 6j

The acceleration is

a=60i+6j

We need to calculate the net force

F = ma

F = 3.00\times(60i+6j)

F=180i+18j

The magnitude of the force

|F|=\sqrt{(180)^2+(18)^2}

|F|=180.89\ N

Hence, The net force acting on this object is 180.89 N.

Help!!
Anna [14]

Compute the work done on the table:

<em>W</em> = <em>Fd</em> = (320 N) (32 m) = 10,240 J

Divide this by the given time duration to get the power output:

<em>P</em> = <em>W</em>/∆<em>t</em> = (10,240 J) / (150 s) ≈ 63.3 W

Joan wants to test if salt lowers the temperature at which water boils.
ohaa [14]
In order to build a hypothesis, Joan should take an educated guess at what the effect of adding salt to the water will be on the water's boiling point. For example, the hypothesis may be,"The boiling point will increase". This hypothesis is one that can be verified or rejected via experimentation. The next step for Joan would be to set up an experiment to test this hypothesis.

Answer:

x^2\neq -\frac{5}{13}

First option

Explanation:

<u>Operations with functions </u>

Given two functions f, g, we can perform a number of operations with them including addition, subtraction, product, division, composition, and many others .

We have

f(x)=20x^3-7x^2+3x-7

g(x)=-13x^2-5

We are required to find

\displaystyle \frac{f}{g}(x)

We simply divide f by g as follows

\displaystyle \frac{f}{g}(x)=\frac{20x^3-7x^2+3x-7}{-13x^2-5}

We know rational functions may have problems if the denominator can be zero for some values of x. We must find out if there are such values and exclude them from the domain of the new-found function. We must ensure

-13x^2-5\neq 0

or equivalently

x^2\neq -\frac{5}{13}

Thus the first option is correct

Note: Since x^2 is always a positive number (for x real), our function does not really have any restriction in its domain

In deep space (no gravity), the bolt (arrow)
salantis [7]

t  = 0.527 s

<u>It accelerates for 0.527 s.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

We use the formula:

v = u+at

Given:

v = 106 m/s

u = 0 (since no gravity)

a=201 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

So applying the formula,

v = u+at

106 = 0 + 201t

t     = 106/201

t     = 0.527 s
