A light ray hits a plane surface at 20 degrees. What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays.

Physics
1 answer:
Eduardwww [97]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

140°

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that the angle of redlection equals to the angle of incidence.

When light rays hit surface at 20°, they also leave the surface at the same angle

Since the whole surface has 180° then subtracting these two angles from total angle gives the the angle between the incident and reflected rays.

180°-20°-20°=140°

The angle of incidence and reflection are equal hence 140/2=70°

The question needed the angle between the incident and reflected rays which is already calculated as 140°

What is the net force on a truck if the force of friction is 31 N and the force of the engine is 79 N?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Fr = 48 [N] forward.

Explanation:

Suppose the movement is on the X axis, in this way we have the force of the engine that produces the movement to the right, while the force produced by the brake causes the vehicle to decrease its speed in this way the sign must be negative.

∑F = Fr

F_{engine}-F_{brake} =F_{r}\\F_{r}=79-31\\F_{r}=48[N]

The movement remains forward, since the force produced by the movement is greater than the braking force.

6. A golf ball is hit a distance of 300 yards in 10 sec. What is the speed of the golf ballo
katen-ka-za [31]

The speed of the ball is 27.4 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of an object is given by:

speed=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have:

d = 300 yards is the distance covered by the golf ball

t = 10 s is the time taken

Keeping in mind that

1 yard = 0.914 m

We can convert the distance from yards to meters:

d = 300 \cdot 0.914 = 274.2 m

And substituting into the equation, we find the speed of the ball:

speed=\frac{274.2}{10}=27.4 m/s

After the big bang, atoms in gas clouds experienced a greater gravitational pull to each other than atoms in other regions of th
allsm [11]
Answer:
These are the two statements with scientific facts that explain the described phenomenon
<span>
Gravitation between two objects increases when the distance between them decreases.</span>

When the mass of an object increases, its gravitational pull also increases.

Justification:

Those two facts are represented in the Universal Law of Gravity discovered by the scientific Sir Isaac Newton (1642 to 1727) and published in his book <span>Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica.</span>

That law is represented by the equation:

F = G × m₁ × m₂ / d²

The product of the two masses on the numerator accounts for the fact that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses, which is that as the masses increase the attraction also increase.

The term d² (square of the distance that separates the objects) in the denominator accounts for the fact that the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance; that is as the separation of the objects increase the gravitational force decrease.
