Explanation:

Mirrors consist of reflecting surfaces that reflect light.

Reflection is a phenomenon of light wave (but also of other types of waves) in which a ray of light hits a surface, and then it bounces back into the original medium at a certain angle.

The direction of the reflected ray is determined by the law of reflection:

The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the surface all lie in the same plane
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence (where both angles are measured between the ray and the normal to the surface)

A plane mirror is a type of mirror consisting of a straight surface. As a result, light incident perpendicular to the surface is reflected back exactly in the opposite direction.

The image formed by a plane mirror is:

- The same size as the object

- Virtual (it is located behind the mirror)

- Laterally inverted

- Upright

In which scenario does radiation occur? warming soup on a stove drying towels at the beach cooking eggs in boiling water warming

shepuryov [24]

Answer: drying towels at the beach.

Explanation:

Radiation simply has to do with the energy that is gotten from a particular source and then goes through some materials. It simply means the way energy is being transmitted as waves or heat through a certain medium.

From the options given, the scenario whereby a radiation takes place is when drying towels on the beach.

An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.76 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 11 m, and then

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

t=17.838s

Explanation:

The displacement is divided in two sections, the first is a section with constant acceleration, and the second one with constant velocity. Let's consider the first:

The acceleration is, by definition:

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}=1.76$

So, the velocity can be obtained by integrating this expression:

$v=1.76t$

The velocity is, by definition: $v=\frac{dx}{dt}$ , so

$dx=1.76tdt\\x=1.76\frac{t^{2}}{2}$ .

Do x=11 in order to find the time spent.

$11=1.76\frac{t^2}{2}\\ t^2=\frac{2*11}{76} \\t=\sqrt{12.5}=3.5355s$

At this time the velocity is: $v=1.76t=1.76*3.5355s=6.2225\frac{m}{s}$

This velocity remains constant in the section 2, so for that section the movement equation is:

$x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}$

The left distance is 89 meters, and the velocity is $6.2225\frac{m}{s}$ , so:

$t=\frac{89}{6.2225}=14.303s$

So, the total time is 14.303+3.5355s=17.838s

QiC S A particle of mass m moves along a straight line with constant velocity v→ in the x direction, a distance b from the x axi

astraxan [27]

The angular momentum is m v b where b is known as the impact parameter.

Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter. It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force. The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
The kilogram is the SI unit of mass (kg). In science and technology, a body's weight in a given reference frame is the force that causes it to accelerate at a rate equal to the local acceleration of free fall in that frame.
For instance, a kilogram mass weighs around 2.2 pounds at the surface of the planet. However, the same kilogram mass would weigh just about 0.8 pounds on Mars and about 5.5 pounds on Jupiter.
An object's mass is a crucial indicator of how much stuff it contains. Weight is a measurement of an object's gravitational pull. It is influenced by the object's location in addition to its mass. As a result, weight is a measurement of force.

Does the particle possess any angular momentum about the origin?

The angular momentum is m v b, where b is known as the impact parameter.
