For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is s=29.0cm long)
after reflecting from the first mirror?
1 answer:
The question is missing a diagram of the ray reflection. I attached a diagram which comes from a similar question in the answer section. The full question should be as follows:
Two plane mirrors intersect at right angles. A laser beam strikes the first of them at a point d = 10.0cmfrom their point of intersection, as shown in the figure. For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is s=29.0cm long) after reflecting from the first mirror?
Answer:
34.6°
Explanation:
To strike the midpoint of the second mirror, the ray light will have to travel half of the distance vertically
i.e. 29/2 = 14.5
We can solve this through trigonometry.
Let the angle between the ray and the vertical plane mirror is known as α
tan α = 10/14.5
α = = 34.6°
The angle of incidence is the angle between the ray and the normal line of the mirror.
Let angle of incidence of first mirror be β
β = α = 34.6

Newton's Second Law of Motion
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law of motion, the change in velocity of a body is directly proportional to the force applied on it. Velocity is a vector quantity. It measures the magnitude of the speed as well as its direction.
F = m a
where, F is the applied force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
It can also be expressed as:
where, p = mv ( momentum)
Answer:
Required diameter of hose pipe = 0.2864 mm
Solution:
From the continuity eqn, the fluid flow rate is given by:
Av =
where
A = cross-sectional area =
r = hose pipe radius
v = velocity of gas
Also,
Using:
1 gallon = 3.854 l
1 mile = 1609.34 m
Therefore,
The diameter of the hose pipe = 2r =
The diameter of the hose pipe =
