Answer:

86degrrss

Explanation:

tan L =BC/AB

= 3/12 = 1/4

L= tan^-1 0.25

=4.0 degrees

= 90-4= 86degrees

Answer: 33.69 degrees

Explanation:

Given

Distance between the two mirrors, = 6 cm

Length of the two mirrors, = 24 cm

Assuming the laser is shone from just clear of the left edge of the bottom mirror,

a)

Tan L = (O/A)

Tan L = (6 / 12)

Tan L = 0.5

L = Tan^-1 (0.5)

L = 26.57 degrees

(90 - 26.57) = 63.43 deg. to the normal.

Tan L = (6 / [24/6])

Tan L = (6 / 4)

Tan L = 1.5

L = Tan^-1 (1.5)

L = 56.31 degrees

(90 - 56.31) = 33.69 deg. to the normal.

Thus, the angle at which, with respect to the mirror, the laser beam hits the mirrors in each way is 33.69 degrees

A permanent magnet has a magnetic dipole moment of 0.160 A · m^2. The magnet is in the presence of an external uniform magnetic
Elena L [17]

Answer:

the magnitude of the torque  on the permanent magnet = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm

the potential energy (in J) of the system consisting of the permanent magnet and the magnetic field provided by the coils =  -1.0485 ×10⁻² J

Explanation:

The torque is given by :

\bar {N} = \bar {m} * \bar {B}

where ;

m = 0.160 A.m²

B = 0.0800 T

θ = 35°

So the magnitude of the torque N = mBsinθ

N = (0.160)(0.0800)(sin 35°)

N = 0.007341

N = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm

Hence, the magnitude of the torque  on the permanent magnet = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm

b) The potential energy \bar{U} = \bar{-m} * \bar{B}

U = -mBcosθ

U = (- 0.160)(0.0800)(cos 45)

U = -0.010485

U = -1.0485 ×10⁻² J

Thus, the potential energy (in J) of the system consisting of the permanent magnet and the magnetic field provided by the coils =  -1.0485 ×10⁻² J

If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling
ryzh [129]

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

If 4 x 10^21 electrons pass through a wire connected to a 15 ohm resistor in 3 s, how much electric
sammy [17]

Answer:

1.) Current = 213.33A

2.) Potential difference = 3200 V

Explanation:

Given that

Number of electrons n = 4 x 10^21 electrons

Resistance R = 15 ohm

Time t = 3 s

From the definition of current ;

Current is the rate of flow of changes. That is,

Current I = Q/t

Where

Q = 4 × 10^21 × 1.6 × 10^-19

Q = 460C

Current I = 460/3

Current I = 213.33 A

Using Ohms law which state that

V = IR

Substitute the resistance R and current I into the formula above

Potential difference V = 213.3 × 15

Potential difference V = 3200 V
