Kyle lays a mirror flat on the floor and aims a laser at the mirror. The laser beam reflects off the mirror and strikes an adjac

ent wall. The plane of the incident and reflected beams is perpendicular to the wall. The beam from the laser strikes the mirror at a distance ????=55.9 cm from the wall. The reflected beam strikes the wall at a height ????=38.9 cm above the surface of the mirror. Find the angle of incidence thetai at which the laser beam strikes the mirror.

Answer:

θr = 55.2 °

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence and the angles of reflection is the same.

Let's use trigonometry to find the angle between the reflected ray, where the horizontal distance x = 55.9 cm and the vertical distance is y = 38.9 cm

    tan θ = y / x

    tan θ = 38.9 / 55.9

    θ = tan⁻¹ (0.6959)

    θ = 34.8°

This angle is measured with respect to the x-axis (horizontal), but in general the angles in optics are measured from the y-axis so that the angle is

    θ = 90 - 34.8

    θr = 55.2 °

1- A train travels 92 kilometers in 3 hours, and then 55 kilometers in 3 hours. What is its average speed?
Hunter-Best [27]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  1. 24.5 km/h
  2. 4 17/27 m/s
  3. 11/3 m/s²
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

1. The average speed is the ratio of total distance to total time:

... speed = distance/time = (92 km +55 km)/(3 h +3h) = (147 km)/(6 h)

... = 24.5 km/h

2. speed = distance/time = (125 m)/(27 s) = 4 17/27 m/s

3. a = ∆v/∆t = (15 m/s -4 m/s)/(3 s) = 11/3 m/s²

molecular cloud <interstellar cloud <1 Msun protostar <1 Msun star <intercloud gas

Explanation:

<u>Molecular cloud-</u> They are a variety of interstellar cloud in which molecular hydrogen can sustain themselves. They have a very low temperature ranging from -440 to -370 degrees Fahrenheit or between<u> 10 to 50 Kelvin. </u>Owing to their extremely low temperature, they appear mostly dark when viewed through telescopes.

<u>Interstellar cloud-</u> They are a congregation of a large number of interstellar gases, dust and plasma in any galaxy or universe. They have varying temperature depending on their proximity to a star. E.g. Neutral hydrogen atom clouds have a temperature of around <u>just 100 Kelvin</u> while those in the near vicinity of a star have temperatures as high as 10,000 Kelvin.

<u>1 Msun star-</u> These stars have temperature anywhere between <u>5300 and 6000 Kelvin</u>. The main source of such high surface temperature is nuclear fusion process where elemental hydrogen molecules are fused to form helium molecules.  

<u>1 Msun protostar-</u> protostar is rather a young star which is still in formation phase (i.e. gathering mass from the parent molecular cloud). They have temperature anywhere between <u>2000-3000</u> kelvin and are accompanied by dust usually.

<u>Intercloud gas- </u>These are the remainder gases that are spread throughout the interstellar space. This Intercloud gas is divided into warm intercloud medium and extremely hot coronal gas with temperatures comparing to Sun’s corona. Warm intercloud forms the dominant part of intercloud gas with a temperature around <u>8000 Kelvin</u>.

How can icalculate 3 seconds and 5 meters into a speed?
topjm [15]
To find speed you have to divide distance by time. In this case:

5 meters➗3 seconds = about 1.66666666 and so on m/s.

You could round to 1.67 or 1.7 if you'd like.
