Answer: The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

Law of reflection:

  • Angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection;∠i=∠r
  • Incident ray, reflected ray and normal to the reflecting interface at the point of incidence all lie in same plane.

When light ray from candle strikes a mirror at an angle of 40° with the normal, then the angle at which ray reflected back will 40°.

The primary coil of a transformer contains 100 turns; the secondary has 200 turns. the primary coil is connected to a size-aa ba
seropon [69]
Since transformers use laws that require time changing quantities (alternating current), the battery would produce no voltage on the secondary windings. In fact the primary winding would short out the battery to a large extent since the resistance of its copper windings would be very low.
In reality, as the battery was first connected to the primary, a very short blip of voltage would appear on the secondary as the magnetic field initially grew in the core (that would constitute a time-changing magnetic field required for the device to work). But it would immediately go away afterwards and that output cannot be determined without actually doing the experiment due to so many unknowns.
But this question isn't looking for that explanation. It's kind of a trick question.

A heat engine is 20% efficient. If it loses 800 J to the cooling system and exhaust during each cycle, the work done by the engi
Maurinko [17]

Answer: A. 200J

Therefore, the workdone by the heat engine is 200J

Explanation:

Given ;

The efficiency of the heat engine is E = 20% = 0.2

Heat loss L= 800J

For an heat engine the efficiency is measured by the amount of workdone by the heat engine when compared to the heat generated.

Efficiency E = workdone/heat generated × 100%

Heat generated G= workdone W + heat loss L

G = W + L

According to the question.

W = 20% of G

W = 0.2G ......1

L = 80% of G

L = 0.8G

G = L/0.8 ......2

Substituting equation 2 to 1

W = 0.2(L/0.8)

And L = 800J

W = 0.2(800/0.8)

W = 200J

Therefore, the workdone by the heat engine is 200J

Air resistance is a nonconservative force. It always opposes the motion of an object. An airplane flies from New York to Atlanta
LenKa [72]

Answer:

c) is negative

Explanation:

As we know that work done by a force is the product of force and displacement vector.

W= F.d

F= Force

d= displacement

The work done by friction force always negative because it try to oppose the motion and act opposite to the direction of displacement.So the work done by air resistance is negative.

c) is negative

3. How can the U.S. economy grow if we import more goods and services?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

A trade deficit therefore occurs when a country spends more on imports than it receives in exports. A budget deficit, in the context of the government, instead occurs when there is more federal spending than revenue taken in from taxes, duties, fines, and other fees.
