Explanation :

The process in which the object after striking on a reflecting surface bounces back is called reflection. This process is shown by the light and the sound waves etc.

There are two laws of reflection :

  1. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
  2. The normal, incident ray and the reflected ray and the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.

From the attached figure, it is clear that the angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal to the reflecting surface. It is denoted by \angle r.

Hence, the correct option is (C) " the angle that the reflected ray makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface ".

Estimate how fast your hair grows, in units of m/s, assuming it takes 30 days for your hair to grow 1 inch. note that 1 inch =2.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

1) 9.8×10⁻⁹ m/s

2) 50970.3238656 L

Explanation:

1) In 30 days hair grows 1 inch

1 inch = 2.54 cm

1 cm = 0.01 m

2.54 cm = 2.54 × 0.01 m

⇒2.54 cm = 0.0254 m

30 days = 30×24×60×60 = 2592000 seconds

Speed = Distance / Time

\text{Speed}=\frac{0.0254}{2592000}=9.8\times 10^{-9}\ m/s

Speed at which hair grows is 9.8×10⁻⁹ m/s

2) 1 ft = 0.3048 m

0.3048 m = 30.48 cm

1 ft = 30.48 cm

15 ft = 15×30.48 = 457.2 cm

8 ft = 8×30.48 = 243.84 cm

Volume of water in pool = Length × Width × Depth

⇒Volume of water in pool = 457.2×457.2×243.84

⇒Volume of water in pool = 50970323.8656 cm³

or

Volume of water in pool = 15×15×8 = 1800 ft³

1 ft³ = 30.48³ cm³

1800 ft³ = 30.48³ × 1800 = 50970323.8656 cm³

Converting to liters

1 L = 1000 cm³

0.001 L = 1 cm³

50970323.8656 cm³ = 50970323.8656×0.001 = 50970.3238656 L

Volume of water in pool is 50970.3238656 L

A stone of mass m = 1.05 kg is released from a height of h = 2.1 m into a pool of water. At a time of t = 1.83 s after hitting t
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

ignoring air resistance, the kinetic energy at water impact will equal the potential energy converted

½mv² = mgh

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2(9.81)2.1) = 6.4188... m/s

after impact, an impulse will result in a change of momentum.

There is a downward impulse due to gravity equal to the weight of the stone and an upward average force due to water resistance and buoyancy force.

FΔt = mΔv

(F - mg)Δt = m(vf - vi)

(F - mg) = m(vf - vi)/Δt

F = m(vf - vi)/Δt + mg

F = m((vf - vi)/Δt + g)

F = 1.05(((½(-6.4188) - -6.4188)/ 1.83) + 9.81)

F = 12.14198...

F = 12.1 N

Please help!!! A river has a constant current of 3 km per hour. If a motorboat, capable of maintaining a constant speed of 20km
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Construct a vector diagram. It will be a right-angled triangle. One vector (the hypotenuse) represents the heading of the boat, one represents the current and one represents the resultant speed of the boat, which I'll call x. Their magnitudes are 20, 3 and x. Let the required angle = theta. We have: 

<span>theta = arcsin(3/20) = approx. 8.63° </span>

<span>The boat should head against the current in a direction approx. 8.63° to the line connecting the dock with the point opposite, or approx. 81.37° to the shore line. </span>

<span>x = sqrt(20^2 - 3^2) </span>
<span>= sqrt(400 - 9) </span>
<span>= sqrt 391 </span>

<span>The boat's crossing time = </span>
<span>0.5 km/(sqrt 391 km/hr) </span>
<span>= (0.5/sqrt 391) hr </span>
<span>= approx. 0.025 hr </span>
<span>= approx. 91 seconds</span>

10. According to Newton's First Lawy , if a box is pushed with no external resistance, what will the action of the box be ?
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law of motion, if a box is pushed with no external resistance, the box will keep on moving due to the absence of external force. It might gets stopped due to frictional force that is acting between the surface and the ball. The first law of motion is also known as law of inertia. the magnitude of force acting on the object is given by second law of motion.
