As the surface given is a smooth surface, we can use specular reflection. According to the law of specular reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, so it will also be 40°. Answer is A.

A teacher discusses a scientific theory that has been in place for almost a century. which would present the greatest challenge
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.

Find the ratio of the diameter of iron to copper wire, if they have the same resistance per unit length (as they might in househ
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The ratio of the diameter of iron to Cu is;

\frac{d{Fe}   }{ d{Cu}   } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}

Explanation:

R=(ρL)/A

  • R is resistance,
  • L is length,
  • A is area,
  • ρ is resistivity
  • d is diameter

from the question the two materials have the same resistance per unit length.

\frac{R}{L}= \frac{p}{A}

\frac{R}{L}   for iron = \frac{R}{L}  for copper

This means we can equate ρ/A for both materials.

\frac{p_{Fe} }{A_{Fe} } =\frac{p_{Cu} }{A_{Cu} }

re-arranging the equation we have,

\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }

A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}

\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{d^{2}{Fe}   }{ d^{2}{Cu}   }

\frac{d^{2}{Fe}   }{ d^{2}{Cu}   } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }

\frac{d{Fe}   }{ d{Cu}   } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}

What is the approximate mass of air in a living room 4.5m×3.4m×2.9m? the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3?
topjm [15]
First we have to calculate the volume of the living room:
V = L x W x H = 4.5 m * 3.4 m * 2.9 m
V = 44.37 m³
We know that Density = 1.29 kg/m²
D = m / V
m = D · V
m = 1.29 kg/m³ · 44.37 m³
m = 57.2373 kg ≈ 57.2 kg
Answer: The approximate mass of air in living room is 57.2 kg.
