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 )

Which of the following would effect the speed of a wave ? A) the matter it travels through
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Option D

The frequency

Explanation:

The speed of wave is depedant only on the wavelength and frequency of waves since it is given by s=fw where s is the speed, f is frequency and w is the wavelength. Since the options given has only one factor, that is frequency, hence option D is correct. In case we had wavelength could be among the options, both would be correct.

What part causes the disc brake caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released?
Orlov [11]
The part that causes the disc caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released is the square-cut O-ring.
The square cut seal is the most important part of a disc brake caliper, for keeping the brake behind the piston so that when you step on the brake pedal, it releases a pressure that applied to the piston which in return applies the pad to the rotor.

A Red Rider bb gun uses the energy in a compressed spring to provide the kinetic energy for propelling a small pellet of mass 0.
Kay [80]

Answer:

a.6.5025 J

b.6.5025 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of pellet,m=0.27 g=0.27\times 10^{-3} kg

1 kg=1000 g

Spring constant,k=1800 N/m

x=8.5 cm=8.5\times 10^{-2} m

1m=100 cm

a.Potential energy stored in the compressed spring  is given by

P.E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

P.E=\frac{1}{2}(1800)(8.5\times 10^{-2})^2

P.E=6.5025 J

b.By using law of conservation of energy

P.E of spring=K.E of the pellet

K.E of the pellet=6.5025 J
