What is the law of reflection?

2 answers:

8 0

The law of reflection are, as follows:

The incident Ray, the reflected Ray and the normal to the reflection surface at the point of the incidence lie in the same plane.

If this does not make since than I hope you know I tried.

You can observe this law in practice if a ray of light reflects off of a flat mirror.

Law of reflection states that both direction of both incoming and outgoing rays of light make the same angle with respect to surface normal.

The drag force pushes opposite your motion as you ride a bicycle. If you double your speed, what happens to the drag force?

timurjin [86]

Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4

Explanation:

The Drag Force equation is:

$F_{D}=\frac{1}{2}C_{D}\rho A_{D}V^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$F_{D}$ is the Drag Force

$C_{D}$ is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (air in this case)

$A_{D}$ is the transversal area of the body or object

$V$ the bicycle's velocity

Now, if we assume $C_{D}$ , $\rho$ and $A_{D}$ do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:

$F_{D}=C.V^{2}$ (2)

Where $C$ groups all these coefficients.

So, if we have a new velocity $V_{n}$ , which is the double of the former velocity:

$V_{n}=2V$ (3)

Equation (2) is written as:

$F_{D}=C.V_{n}^{2}=C.(2V)^{2}$

$F_{D}=4CV^{2}$ (4)

Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.

a baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. the carriage with the baby has a mass of 1.5 kg. the carriage

Serga [27]

Height of baby carriage from ground = 21m

Mass of carriage with baby = 1.5 kg

The carriage has potential energy by virtue of its height.

Potential energy = mgh = 1.5×10×21 = 315 J

Hence, potential energy of the carriage is 315 Joule.

A uniform electric field has a magnitude 1.80 kV/m and points in the +x direction. (a) What is the electric potential difference

EastWind [94]

Answer:

a)ΔV = 6.48 KV

b)ΔU =18.79 mJ

Explanation:

Given that

E= 1.8 KV/m

We know that

Electric potential difference ΔV given as

ΔV = E .d

Here

E= 1.8 KV/m

d= 3.6 m

ΔV = E .d

ΔV = 1.8 x 3.6 KV

ΔV = 6.48 KV

Given that

q=+2.90 µC

Change in electric potential energy ΔU given as

ΔU = q .ΔV

$\Delta U=2.9\times 10^{-6}\times 6.48\times 10^3\ J$

ΔU =18.79 mJ

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro

Zielflug [23.3K]

First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet

____ would describe an airplane as "Earthen metal infused with Air and propelled by elemental Fire"

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Aristotle

Explanation:

Aristotle would describe an airplane as "Earthen metal infused with Air and propelled by elemental Fire".

Their presence spread in to the Renaissance from the Antiquity and Early medieval Ages, and was not consistently displaced until the Inquisition and philosophies such as classical physics.Aristotle's views on biblical theory were influenced by physical science. Many of the zoological findings of Aristotle found in his physiology, such as on the octopus ' hectocotyl (reproductive) head, remained incredible until the 19th century.
