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 )

An object is allowed to fall freely near the surface of a planet. The object has an acceleration due to gravity of 24 m/s2. How
Alborosie

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For this problem,

g=24 m/s^2

and

u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion

So, substituting t = 1 s, we find

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m

A ball is thrown straight up. What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point in its path?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

b. v = 0, a = 9.8 m/s² down.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The acceleration of gravity is always directed to the ground (down) and, near the surface of the earth, has a constant value of 9.8 m/s². Since the answer "b" is the only option with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s² directed downwards, that would solve the exercise. But why is the velocity zero at the highest point?

Let´s take a look at the height function:

h(t) = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 g · t²

Where

h0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity

Notice that the function is a negative parabola if we consider downward as negative (in that case "g" would be negative). Then, the function has a maximum (the highest point) at the vertex of the parabola. At the maximum point, the slope of the tangent line to the function is zero, because the tangent line is horizontal at a maximum point. The slope of the tangent line to the function is the rate of change of height with respect to time, i.e, the velocity. Then, the velocity is zero at the maximum height.

Another way to see it (without calculus):

When the ball is going up, the velocity vector points up and the velocity is positive. After reaching the maximum height, the velocity vector points down and is negative (the ball starts to fall). At the maximum height, the velocity vector changed its direction from positive to negative, then at that point, the velocity vector has to be zero.

Identify and sketch all the external forces acting on the chair. because the chair can be represented as a point particle of mas
SOVA2 [1]

There are two external force acts on the chair.

1. The force due to earth gravity, acts in the downward direction.

2. Reaction force of the gravity, which acts in the Upward direction (Normal Force).

On every object, there is a force acts due to gravity of earth, which pulls the object towards the centre of earth, known as gravity force, always acts in the downward direction. Mathematically it's given as

F=mg

here, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.

To balance this gravity force, a counter force acts in the opposite direction, whose magnitude is equal to the force of gravity
