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?

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°

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 10 cm apart.One carries a current of 2.0 A, the other a current of 5.0A. (a) If the tw

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two wires $d=10 cm$

Current value $i_1=2 A$

$i_2=5 A$

(a)If current flows in opposite direction

When current Flows in opposite direction the two wires will repel each other

Force due to current carrying wire $F=\frac{\mu _0i_1i_2}{2\pi r}$

$F_{12}=F_{21}=\frac{\mu _0\times 2\times 5}{2\times \pi \times 0.1}$

$F_{12}=\frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2\times 5}{2\pi \times 0.1}$

$F_{12}=2\times 10^{-5} N$ (Repulsive Force)

(b)If current is flowing in the same direction

When direction of current is same then force will be attractive in nature

$F_{12}=F_{21}=\frac{\mu _0i_1i_2}{2\pi r}$

$F_{12}=\frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2\times 5}{2\pi \times 0.1}$

$F_{12}=2\times 10^{-5} N$ (attractive Force)

An astronaut, whose mission is to go where no one has gone before, lands on a spherical planet in a distant galaxy.

NeTakaya

Answer:

$M = 1.77 \times 10^{27} kg$

Explanation:

As we know that the that the Astronaut dropped a stone on the surface of the planet takes 0.420 s to fall a distance of d = 1.90 m

so we will have

$y = \frac{1}{2}g t^2$

$1.90 = \frac{1}{2}g(0.420^2)$

$g = 21.5 m/s^2$

now we know that the acceleration due to gravity is given as

$g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

so we will have

$21.5 = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})M}{(7.40\times 10^7)^2}$

$M = 1.77 \times 10^{27} kg$

A recent study found that electrons that have energies between 3.45 eV and 19.9 eV can cause breaks in a DNA molecule even thoug

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The Minimum wavelength is $\lambda_{min}= 382.2nm$

The Maximum wavelength is $\lambda_{max}= 624.2nm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The energy range is $E_r = 3.25eV \ and \ 19.9eV$

Considering $E = 19.9eV$

When a single photon is transferred to to an electron the energy obtained can be calculated as follows

$E = 19.9eV = 19.9 *1.6 *10^{-19}J$

This energy is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{max}}$

Here h is the Planck's constant with value of $h= 6.625*10^{-34}J\cdot s$

c is the speed of light with value of $c = 3*10^8 m/s$

Substituting values and making $\lambda$ the subject of the formula

$\lambda_{max} = \frac{hc}{E}$

$= \frac{6.625*10^{-34} * 3.0*10^{8}}{19.9*1.6*10^{-19}}$

$\lambda_{max}= 624.2nm$

Considering $E = 3.25eV$

When a single photon is transferred to to an electron the energy obtained can be calculated as follows

$E = 19.9eV = 3.25 *1.6 *10^{-19}J$

This energy is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{min}}$

Substituting values and making $\lambda$ the subject of the formula

$\lambda_{min} = \frac{hc}{E}$

$= \frac{6.625*10^{-34} * 3.0*10^{8}}{3.25*1.6*10^{-19}}$

$\lambda_{min}= 382.2nm$

A car slows down from 27.7 m/s to 10.9 m/s in 2.37 s, what is the acceleration?

larisa [96]

Answer:

Answer. to final velocity 'v' =10.9 m/s in time 't' = 2.37 secs. So acceleration = -7.09 m/sec^2 or, decceleration is 7.09 m/sec^2
