For an independent study project, you design an experiment to measure the speed of light. You propose to bounce laser light off

a mirror that is 51.0 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 135 m due south of the laser. The first problem is to orient the mirror so that the laser light reflects off the mirror and into the light sensor. Determine the angle that the normal to the mirror should make with respect to due west.

4 0

Answer:

4.55 minute

Explanation:

51 km = 51000 m

the ray of light travels due east 51000 m , bounces back from reflecting mirrors  . The reflected light gets focused on a point 135 m south . Let the angle between incident light and reflected light be θ.

tanθ = 135 / 51000

θ = .1516 degree

= .1516 x 60 minute

= 9.09 minute

angle between incident ray ( east - west ) and normal = 9.09 / 2

= 4.55 minute Ans

The tension in the horizontal cord is 30N. Find the weight of the object.
vazorg [7]
Making a drawing of the system, we will have two forces which are tension and the weight of the object. Balancing the forces present, we do as follows:

T = W
W = 30 N

Therefore, weight is equal to 30 N. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

A farmer lifts his hay bales into the top loft of his barn by walking his horse forward with a constant velocity of 1 ft/s. Dete
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The velocity of the hay bale is - 0.5 ft/s and the acceleration is 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Constant velocity of the horse in the horizontal, v_{x} = 1 ft/s

Distance of the horse on the horizontal axis, x = 10 ft

Vertical distance, y = 20 ft

Now,

Apply Pythagoras theorem to find the length:

20^{2} + 10^{2} = l^{2}

l^{2}= 500

Now,

x^{2} + y^{2} = 500                            (1)

Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t 't':

2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 0

x\frac{dx}{dt} = - y\frac{dy}{dt}

where

\frac{dx}{dt} = Rate of change of displacement along the horizontal

\frac{dy}{dt} = Rate of change of displacement along the vertical

v_{x} = velocity along the x-axis.

v_{y} = velocity along the y-axis

xv_{x} = -yv_{y}

v_{y} = - 10\times \frac{1}{20} = - 0.5 ft/s

|v_{y}| = 0.5\ ft/s

Acceleration of the hay bale is given by the kinematic equation:

v_{y}^{2} = u_{y} + 2ay

(-0.5)^{2} =0 + 2ay

0.25 = 2ay

\frac{0.25}{2y} = a

a = \frac{0.25}{2\times 20} = 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}
