A flat polished area is turned through 15 degrees. If the angle of incidence is 20 degrees, what is the angle between the incide

nt ray and the reflected ray of the turned surface?
Physics

Ilya [14]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>50°</h2>

Explanation:

Angle of rotation of the flat polished surface \theta = 15°

angle of incidence i = 20°

Since the polished surface is turned at an angle of 15°, the angle of reflection

r = 2\theta (Note that the angle of rotation only have effect of the angle of reflection)

r = 2*15 = 30°

The angle between the reflected ray and the incident ray will be equal to the sum of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection i.e i+r

The angle between the reflected ray and the incident ray = 20°+ 30° = 50°

Answer:

K.E.=\dfrac{3}{2}KT

Explanation:

Given that

Number of particle =N

Equilibrium temperature= T

Side of cube = L

Gravitational acceleration =g

The kinetic energy of an atom  given as

K.E.=\dfrac{3}{2}KT

Where

Equilibrium temperature= T

Boltzmann constant =K

calculate the work done in kilo joules in lifting a mass of 20kg at steady velocity through a vertical height of 20m
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf Work\ done = 4 kJ}

Explanation:

Since work done is in the form of potential energy, we will use the formula of potential energy here.

We know that,

<h3>P.E. = mgh </h3>

Where,

m = mass = 20 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

h = vertical height = 20 m

So,

<h3>Work done = mgh</h3>

Work done = (20)(10)(20)

Work done = 4000 joules

Work done = 4 kJ

Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

242.85 Hz

Explanation:

For maximum intensity of sound, the path difference,ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 where n = 0,1,2...

Since Abby is standing perpendicular to one speaker, the path length for the sound from the other speaker to him is L₁ = √(2.00² + 5.50²) = √(4.00 + 30.25) = √34.25 = 5.85 m.

The path difference to him is thus ΔL = 5.85 m - 5.50 m = 0.35 m.

Since ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 and for lowest frequency n = 0,

ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 = (0 + 1/2)λ/2 = λ/4

ΔL = λ = v/f and f = v/4ΔL where f = frequency of wave and v = velocity of sound wave = 340 m/s.

f = 340/(4 × 0.35) = 242.85 Hz

Consider a situation where a constant force of 25 N acts on an object having a mass of 2 kg for 3 seconds. What is the work done
blagie [28]

Answer:

Work done W =1406.25 J

Explanation:

Work done on a body can be calculated using newton's 2nd laws:

F=ma

\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}

Hence acceleration of the block is given by:

\Rightarrow a=\frac{25}{2}=12.5m/s^2

Displacement of the object is given by:

\Rightarrow S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Substitute the values

\Rightarrow S=0*3+\frac{1}{2}(12.5)3^2

\Rightarrow S=56.25 m

Now work done is given by:

 W=F.S

W = 25×56.25

W =1406.25 J
