<span>The correct answer is option D. i.e. at any angle between -90 and 90 degrees. In the diffused reflection ,the surface is rough and the direction of light in not the same as the incident light. It can be reflected at any angle. </span>

Answer:

D. at any angle between -90° and 90°

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the difference between specular reflection and diffuse reflection:

- Specular reflection occurs when the surface hit by the light is perfectly smooth. In this case, the law of reflection states that the angle at which the light is reflected is equal to the angle of incidence of the light (measured relative to the normal to the surface)

- Diffuse reflection occurs when the surface hit by the light is rough. In this case, the law of reflection is still valid for every ray of light hitting the surface; however, due to the imperfections of the surface, each ray of light hits the surface at a different angle of incidence. This means that the angle of reflection for each ray will be different, so light is reflected in any direction between -90 degrees and 90 degrees, which corresponds to the minimum and the maximum angle of reflection measured relative the normal to the surface.

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a)  K = 0.63 J, b)  h = 0.153 m

Explanation:

a) In this exercise we have a physical pendulum since the rod is a material object, the angular velocity is

         w² = \frac{m g d}{I}

where d is the distance from the pivot point to the center of mass and I is the moment of inertia.

The rod is a homogeneous body so its center of mass is at the geometric center of the rod.

              d = L / 2

the moment of inertia of the rod is the moment of a rod supported at one end

              I = ⅓ m L²

we substitute

            w = \sqrt{\frac{mgL}{2}  \ \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} mL^2} }

            w = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}  \ \frac{g}{L} }

            w = \sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} \ \frac{9.8}{0.75}  }

            w = 4.427 rad / s

an oscillatory system is described by the expression

              θ = θ₀ cos (wt + Φ)

the angular velocity is

             w = dθ /dt

             w = - θ₀ w sin (wt + Ф)

In this exercise, the kinetic energy is requested in the lowest position, in this position the energy is maximum. For this expression to be maximum, the sine function must be equal to ±1

In the exercise it is indicated that at the lowest point the angular velocity is

           w = 4.0 rad / s

the kinetic energy is

           K = ½ I w²

           K = ½ (⅓ m L²) w²

           K = 1/6 m L² w²

           K = 1/6 0.42 0.75² 4.0²

           K = 0.63 J

b) for this part let's use conservation of energy

starting point. Lowest point

             Em₀ = K = ½ I w²

final point. Highest point

             Em_f = U = m g h

energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Em_f

             ½ I w² = m g h

             ½ (⅓ m L²) w² = m g h

             h = 1/6 L² w² / g

             h = 1/6 0.75² 4.0² / 9.8

             h = 0.153 m

1. How is a whistling teapot like a volcano?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Because of the build up of pressure. There is so much steam coming from such a compressed point, it’s coming out in force.

Now think of that same spot being closed, it only has one place to go but it can’t leave, so that pressure will build and build and then BOOM, it explodes.

In short, the answer is the pressure being released from a small point, and how that energy is released.
