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°.

9. A force is applied horizontally to a 20 kg box on a flat table, if the acceleration of the box is 2 m/s and the
marysya [2.9K]

By Newton's second law,

<em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

<em>p</em> + (-<em>f</em> ) = (20 kg) (2 m/s²)

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force, <em>w</em> is the weight of the box, <em>p</em> is the magnitude of the applied force (<em>p</em> for <u>p</u>ush or <u>p</u>ull), and <em>f</em> is the magnitude of the friction force.

Calculate the weight of the box:

<em>w</em> = (20 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 196 N

Then

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = 196 N

and

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> = 0.5 (196 N) = 98 N

Now solve for <em>p</em> :

<em>p</em> - 98 N = 40 N

<em>p</em> = 138 N

Use the accompanying seismogram to answer which of the three types of seismic waves reached the seismograph first.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Primary waves (P-waves)

Explanation:

Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.

<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>

  1. body waves
  2. surface waves

Body waves are of two types:

Primary waves (P-waves)

These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.

They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.

Secondary waves (S-waves)

They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.

As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.

Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)

  • These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
  • They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
  • Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.

An L-R-C series circuit is connected to a 120 Hz ac source that has Vrms = 82.0 V. The circuit has a resistance of 71.0 Ω and an
xz_007 [3.2K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of LCR circuit is 120 Hz

RMS voltage, V_{rms}=82\ V

Resistance of circuit, R = 71 Ω

Impedance, Z = 107 Ω

We need to find the average power is delivered to the circuit by the source. Firstly, finding the rms value of current,

I_{rms}=\dfrac{V_{rms}}{Z}\\\\I_{rms}=\dfrac{82}{105}\\\\I_{rms}=0.78\ A

Power is given by :

P=I_{rms}V_{rms}\cos\phi

\cos\phi = \dfrac{R}{Z}\\\\\cos\phi = \dfrac{71}{105}\\\\\cos\phi =0.676

Now, power,

P=0.78\times 82\times 0.676\\\\P=43.23\ W

So, the average power of 43.23 watts is delivered to the circuit by the source.
