I think it would be Reflection because the light in the ray reflects off of any flat or shiny object.... Hope this helps ^-^....
The black squirrel has zero kinetic energy (if it's not moving) and lower gravitational potential energy than the red squirrel or zero gravitational potential energy if the ground is assumed to be zero gravitational potential line.
Answer:
1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo is 529.74 N
2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo is 647.46 N
Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass of Christian and his bicycle = 54 kg
The mass of the cargo = 12 kg
1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = Mass of Christian and his bicycle × Acceleration due to gravity
∴ The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = 54 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 529.74 N
2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo = (54 + 12) kg × 9.81 m/s² = 647.46 N
Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo.
