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°

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The farther star will appear 4 times fainter than the star that is near to the observer.

Explanation:

Since it is given that the luminosity of the 2 stars is same thus they radiate the same energy per unit time

Consider a spherical wave front of energy 'E' that leaves both the stars (Both radiate 'E' as they have same luminosity)

This Energy is spread over the whole surface area of sphere Thus when the wave front is at a distance 'r' the energy per unit surface area is given by

e_{1}=\frac{E}{4\pi r^{2}}

For the star that is twice away from the earth the distance is '2r' thus we will receive an energy given by

e_{2}=\frac{E}{4\pi (2r)^{2}}=\frac{E}{8\pi r^{2}}=\frac{e_{1}}{4}

Hence we sense it as 4 times fainter than the nearer star.

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. It is energy in an object due to its motion, position
german
Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.

A) what is the light source for a plant growing in the shade?
Ulleksa [173]

a.) Plants that thrive in the shade are often able to hold on to sunlight for extensive periods of time; they're in a sense like the camels of the plaNt WoRld.

b.) Though artificial lights are not nearly as beneficial as the sun, one could invest in one of them plant growing light thingies, but sun-loving plants might be sad if u do this instead of letting them soak in ePic rays from the sun.

Describe an application where a parallel circuit might work better than a series circuit
babunello [35]
In rooms where there are multiple lights, a parallel circuit is better.

In a series circuit, if one light broke, all of the lights would turn off, as the circuit would be broken.

However, in parallel, if one bulb broke, the circuit could still be complete through the other bulbs, so they will stay on.
