Reflection from such a rough surface is called diffuse reflection and appears matte

Answer: Specular reflection

Explanation:

The law of reflection says that when a ray of light hits a surface, it bounces in a certain way, like a tennis ball thrown against a wall. ... Mirrors, however, don't scatter light in this way. With a smooth surface, light reflects without disturbing the incoming image. This is called specular reflection.

2. Two projectiles thrown from the same point at angles 0,=60° and 02=30° with the horizontal,

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The maximum height (h) of a projectile with an initial velocity of u, acceleration due to gravity g and at an angle θ with the horizontal is given as:

$h=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

Given that the two projectile has the same height.

$For\ the\ first\ projectile\ with\ an\ angle\ \60^0 \ with\ the\ horizontal\ and initial\ velocity\ u_1:\\\\h=\frac{u_1^2sin^260}{2g} =\frac{0.75u_1^2}{2g} \\\\For\ the\ second\ projectile\ with\ an\ angle\ \30 \ with\ the\ horizontal\ and initial\ velocity\ u_2:\\\\h=\frac{u_2^2sin^230}{2g} =\frac{0.25u_2^2}{2g}\\\\\frac{0.25u_2^2}{2g}=\frac{0.75u_1^2}{2g}\\\\0.25u_2^2=0.75u_1^2\\\\\frac{u_1^2}{u_2^2} =\frac{0.25}{0.75} \\\\\frac{u_1^2}{u_2^2}=\frac{1}{3} \\$ $\\\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\sqrt\frac{1}{3}$

On April 13, 2029 (Friday the 13th!), the asteroid 99942 mi Apophis will pass within 18600 mi of the earth-about 1/13 the distan

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of asteroid = 4/3 x π x 160³

= 17.15 x 10⁶

mass = volume x density

= 17.15 x 10⁶ x 2600

= 445.9 x 10⁸ kg

kinetic energy

= 1/2 x 445.9 x 10⁸ x( 12.6 )² x 10⁶

= 35.4 x 10¹⁷ J .

2 )

energy of 15 megaton

= 4.184 x 10¹⁵ x 15 J

= 62.76 x 10¹⁵ J

No of bombs required

= 35.4 x 10¹⁷ / 62.76 x 10¹⁵

= 56.4 Bombs .

The heating element of an iron operates at 110 V with a current of 9A. (a) What is the resistance of the iron?

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(A) 12.222 ohm (B) 990 W

Explanation:

We have given the voltage of the heating element V = 110 V

The current in the heating element i = 9 A

(a) According to ohm's law V =iR

So $110=9\times R$

$R=\frac{110}{9}=12.222ohm$

(b) The power dissipated in the resistor is given by $P=i^2R=9^2\times 12.222=990W$

So the power dissipated = 990 W
