It does not hurt when an empty hangs lightly against a wall because the wall applies an
equal and opposite reaction force on you. In this case, Newton's third law is applicable.
Our hand hurts, when we are carrying a heavy load. This is because; the downward force acts or
our hand. This downward force depends on the weight of load. In this case, Newton's second law
is applicable.

If the angle of incidence is 30°, degrees what is the angle of reflection? ​
algol13

Answer:

Angle of reflection = 30°

Explanation:

One of the laws of reflection is that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

The angle at which the light strikes the mirror is called the angle of incidence while the angle at which the light gets reflected back is called angle of reflection.

In this case, the angle of incidence is 30 degrees. So, we can say that the angle of reflection is also equal to 30 degrees.

A potential difference of 15 V produces a current of 0.60 amps in a piece of copper wire. What is the resistance of the wire?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

R = 25 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage (p.d) = 15 V

Current = 0.6 A

To find the resistance of the wire;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

V = IR

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

R = \frac {V}{I}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

R = \frac {15}{0.6}

R = 25 Ohms
