Answer:

40

Explanation:

If it is a flat mirror, the reflection and incidence are the same -- 40 degrees.

If it is anything else, more information is needed.

Answer:

A. 40 degrees

Explanation:

The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. So both are equal.

When the rays of light fall incident on a plane angles of incidence and reflection are equal.

How do lines of latitude affect how direct or indirect the Sun’s rays are on the Earth?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:  We have seasons because Earth's axis – the imaginary line that goes through the Earth and around which the Earth spins — is tilted. It's tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to our plane of orbit (the ecliptic) around the Sun. As we orbit our Sun, our axis always points to the same fixed location in space. Our northern axis points almost directly toward Polaris, the North Star.

An airplane is heading south at a speed of 600km/h. If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 100km/h, calculate
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Here's what I got:

Let's assume that N and E are + directions while S and W are - directions.

Wind is blowing from SW; thus, it is blowing towards NE (or at 45 deg N of E).

Dividing the wind's speed into components:y-component: +70.71 km/h; x-component: +70.71 km/h

Dividing the airplane's speed into components:y-component: -600 km/h; x-component: 0 km/h

Adding the components to get the resulting components:y-component: -529.29 km/h; x-component: +70.71

Using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the resulting speed:v^2 = y^2 + x^2 so v = 533.99 km/h

To find the angle of direction, use arctan (y/x):arctan (529.29/70.71) = 82.39 deg

ANSWER: velocity = 533.99 km/h at 82.39 deg S of E

A rock is thrown down with an initial speed of 25.3 m/s from a bridge to the water below. It takes 2.29 s for the rock to hit th
Rzqust [24]
<h2>Height of bridge is 83.66 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 25.3 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 2.29 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 25.3 x 2.29 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 2.29²

                      s = 83.66 m

      Height of bridge is 83.66 m
