Answer:

reflection :

angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away.

A)

It is a launch oblique, therefore the initial velocity in the vertical direction is zero. Space Hourly Equation in vertical, we have:

$S=S_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{at^2}{2} \\ 20= \frac{10t^2}{2} \\ t=2s$

Through Definition of Velocity, comes:

$\Delta v= \frac{\Delta S}{\Delta t} \\ v_x= \frac{36}{2} \\ \boxed {v_{x}=18m/s}$

B)

Using the Velocity Hourly Equation in vertical direction, we have:

$v_{y}=v_{y_{o}}+gt \\ v_{y}=10\times2 \\ \boxed {v_{y}=20m/s}$

The angle of impact is given by:

$cos(\theta) =\frac{v_{x}}{v_{y}} \\ cos(\theta) = \frac{18}{20} \\ cos(\theta) =0.9 \\ arccos(0.9)=\theta \\ \boxed {\theta \approx 25.84}$

What does a black asphalt road become hotter than a white cement sidewalk in the same amount of sunlight?

victus00 [196]

The black means that it is a great emitter/absorber of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic radiation is reflected of the white and absorbed nurture black meaning that the temperature of the black tarmac increases to that greater the the white

What is the process called in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat

antoniya [11.8K]

The process in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat is called the greenhouse effect.

<span>There are many gases which causes greenhouse effect like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases etc. These gases trap the heat in the atmosphere, resulting the surface of earth to get warm producing greenhouse effect.</span>
