"Suppose a horizontal laser beam is reflected off a plane mirror that is perfectly smooth and flat. At first, the mirror is angl

ed upward at 4 degrees, measured from the vertical. Then, the angle of the mirror is changed to 6 degrees upward. How would the angle formed by the incoming laser beam and the reflected laser beam change

Answer:

The angle in between changed from 8 to 12 degrees

Explanation:

Solution:-

Angle between the incoming and reflected beam is always twice that of the inclination of the mirror.

Initially, Inclination angle θ = 4 degrees

             Angle between incident and reflected beam is twice of the inclination of mirror. Hence,

            Φ = 2*θ = 2*4 = 8 degrees.

Change, Inclination angle θ = 6 degrees

             Angle between incident and reflected beam is twice of the inclination of mirror. Hence,

            Φ = 2*θ = 2*6 = 12 degrees.

- The angle formed by the incoming laser beam and the reflected laser beam will change from 8 degrees to 12 degrees.

Answer:

In a house there is a lot less space so there is no where for the sound to travel, but if you are outside there is a lot more space so therefore, the sound can travel anywhere.

An object is moving at a constant speed along a straight line. Which of the following statements is not true? A. There must be a
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

False statement = There must be a non-zero net force acting on the object.  

Explanation:

An object is moving at a constant speed along a straight line. If the speed is constant then its velocity must be constant. We know that the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of the object i.e.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

a = 0

⇒ The acceleration of the object is zero.

The product of force and acceleration gives the magnitude of force acting on the object i.e.

F = m a = 0

⇒  The net force acting on the object must be zero.

So, the option (a) is not true. This is because the force acting on the object is zero. First option contradicts the fact.

A family took a trip in a car traveling East from Greensboro to Wilmington, NC. Use the Graph to answer the questions below.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1). Average speed = 1.5 m per second

2). Average velocity = 1.5 m per second

Explanation:

1). Since, speed is a scalar quantity

   Therefore, average speed of the trip = \frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}

    From the graph attached,

   Total distance covered = 10 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 20 + 30

                                           = 90 meters

   Total time taken = 60 seconds

    Average speed = \frac{90}{60}

                               = 1.5 meter per second

2). Velocity is a vector quantity.

    Therefore, average velocity = \frac{\triangle d}{\triangle t}

                                                   = \frac{d_{60}-d_0}{60-0}

                                                   = \frac{90-0}{60-0}

                                                   = 1.5 meter per second

A bucket of mass m is hanging from the free end of a rope whose other end is wrapped around a drum (radius R, mass M) that can r
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension .

Applying newton's second law on the downward movement of the bucket

mg - T = ma

On the drum , a torque of TR will be acting which will create an angular acceleration of α in it . If I be the moment of inertia of the drum

TR = Iα

TR = Ia/ R

T =  Ia/ R²

Replacing this value of T in the other equation

mg - T = ma

mg - Ia/ R²  = ma

mg =  Ia/ R² +ma

a ( I/ R² +m)= mg

a = mg / ( I/ R² +m)

mg - T = ma

mg - ma  = T

mg - m x mg / ( I/ R² +m) = T

mg - m²g / ( I/ R² +m ) = T

mg - mg / ( 1 + I / m R² ) = T

b ) T =  Ia/ R²

I = TR² / a

c ) Moment of inertia of hollow cylinder

I = 1/2  M ( R² - R² / 4 )

= 3/4 x 1/2 MR²

= 3/8 MR²

I / R² = 3/8 M

a = mg / ( I/ R² +m)

a = mg / ( 3/8 M + m )

T =  Ia/ R²

= 3/8 MR² x mg / ( 3/8 M + m ) x 1 /R²

= \frac{3mMg}{(3M +8m)}
