The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal,
and they're both defined as the angle between the light ray
and the normal (perpendicular) to the mirror.

If the light ray comes in at an angle of 50° to the mirror, then the
angle of incidence is (90° - 50°) = 40°, the angle of reflection is
also 40°, and the light ray is redirected through a total angle of 80°.

You throw a ball downward from a window at a speed of 2.5 m/s. how fast will it be moving when it hits the sidewalk 2.1 m below?
Otrada [13]
List out all the variables that you do know; 

acceleration=-9.8 ms⁻¹ (this remains constant on Earth)
Final velocity=?
Displacement (s)= -2.1 m 
Initial Velocity(u)=2.5 ms⁻¹

v²=u²+2as 
v²=(2.5)²+2(-9.8)(-2.1)
v²=47.41 
v=√47.41 
v=6.88549 ≈ 6.9 ms⁻¹ 

Hope I helped :)

Svetradugi [14.3K]

ANSWER

Velocity of the mass reaches zero

EXPLANATION

We want to identify what hapens to a mass attached toa a spring at maximum displacement.

When a mass attached to a spring is at its maximum position of displacement, the direction of the mass begins to change. This implies that the velocity of the mass will reach zero.

Hence, at maximum displacement, the velocity of the mass reaches zero.
