Two plane mirrors make the angle α = 46.0 ° α=46.0° between them. A ray of light incident on one of the mirrors is reflected and

it hits the second mirror. Find the angle between the ray incident on the first mirror and the ray reflected off of the second mirror.

Answer:

β = 88°

Explanation:

Given,

Angle between the mirror, α = 46.0 °

Let 'i' and 'r' be the angle made with mirror by incident and reflected ray respectively.

Now,

α + i + r = 180°

i + r = 180°-46°

i + r = 134°

we know, angle of incidence and angle of reflection are equal.

Let β be the required angle

β + (180°-2i) + (180°-2r) = 180°

β -2(i+r) = -180

β = -180° + 2 x 134°

β = 88°

Hence, the angle between them is equal to 88°.

A piece of wood 400N in weight and 50cm X 30cm X 20cm in size lies on 50cm X 20cm face. Calculate the pressure exerted by it.
Serga [27]

Answer:

P = 4000 [Pa]

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force and the area where the body rests.

The support area is equal to:

A=50*20=1000[cm^{2} ]

But we must convert from square centimeters to square meters.

1000[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2}m^{2}  }{100^{2}m^{2}  }=0.1[m^{2} ]

And the pressure is:

P=\frac{F}{A} \\P=400/0.1\\P=4000[N/m^{2} ]or 4000[Pa]

A train starting from rest picks up a speed of 20 m/s in 20 s while travelling on a straight path. It continues to move at the s
Andrej [43]

Answer:

1300 m

Explanation:

As the path is straight, so the speed is equivalent to velocity. Now. assuming that the acceleration and deceleration of the train are constant. So, change of velocity with respect to time for acceleration as well as deceleration is constant. Hence, the slope of the speed-time graph is constant for the time of acceleration as well as deceleration. The speed for the time from 20 s to 70 s is constant, so slope for this interval of time is zero. The speed-time graph is shown in the figure.

The total distance covered by the train during the entire journey is the area of the speed-time graph.

Area=\frac{1}{2}(20\times 20)+ 50\times 20+\frac{1}{2}(20\times 10)

=200+1000+100

=1300

As velocity is in m/s and time is in s so the unit of area is m

Hence, the total distance is  1300m.
