Answer:

40°

Explanation:

when a ray light is incident on a surface it makes a 40° angle with the normal to the surface (reflecting surface ). this called angle of incidence.

And the angle made by reflected ray with the normal to the surface is called angle of reflection.

by the law of reflection angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection

hence the answer to the question is 40°        ( because ∠i =∠r )

A body with a mass of 2,000 kg is lifted to a height of 15 m within a time of 15 s. Which one of the following statements concer
Aleksandr [31]
<span>So we want to know which statement is true for the body of mass m=2000kg that is lifted to a height of h=15m in t=15 s. Lets calculate each of the following: Gravity force on the body is F=m*g=2000*9.81=19620 N so a is FALSE. Potential energy of the body when it is lifted to the height of 15 m is Ep=m*g*h=2000*9.81*15=294300 J so b is FALSE. Work to lift the body is: W=Fg*h=2000*9.81*15= Ep=294300 J so c is FALSE. Power P=W/t=294300/15=19620 W So d is TRUE. </span>

Why is it important to include variety in your workouts
grigory [225]

Explanation:

Variety in to an exercise program allows the body to adapt to many demands, from high intensity exercise to slow, steady state exercise. Variety is important in a fitness program because it allows for your body to be challenged on a consistent basis and to overcome a plateau.

These types of electromagnetic waves are listed in order of increasing frequency:
xenn [34]

Answer:

B. X-rays

Explanation:

From the given choices, x-rays will have the highest energy of the given waves.

The energy of electromagnetic waves is highly dependent on their frequency and wavelength.

Electromagnetic waves with a high frequency and small wavelength will have higher energy compared to those with low frequency and high wavelength.

X-rays are one the most energetic waves on the periodic table. They have a very high frequency and low wavelength.

While running at a constant velocity, how should you throw a ball with respect to you so that you can catch it yourself?
timurjin [86]
You are running at constant velocity in the x direction, and based on the 2D definition of projectile motion, Vx=Vxo. In other words, your velocity in the x direction is equal to the starting velocity in the x direction. Let's say the total distance in the x direction that you run to catch your own ball is D (assuming you have actual values for Vx and D). You can then use the range equation, D= (2VoxVoy)/g, to find the initial y velocity, Voy. g is gravitational acceleration, -9.8m/s^2. Now you know how far to run (D), where you will catch the ball (xo+D), and the initial x and y velocities you should be throwing the ball at, but to find the initial velocity vector itself (x and y are only the components), you use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse. Because you know all three sides of the triangle, you can also solve for the angle you should throw the ball at, as that is simply arctan(y/x).
