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 fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1250 kg, which is required to travel upward 49 m in
insens350 [35]

Answer:

659.01W

Explanation:

The cab has a mass of 1250 kg, the weight of the cab represented by Wc will be

Wc = mass of the cab × acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Wc = 1250 × 9.81 = 12262.5 N

but the counter weight of the elevator represented by We = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 995 × 9.81 = 9760.95 N

Net weight = weight of the cab - counter weight of the elevator = Wc - We = 12262.5 - 9760.95 = 2501.55 N

the motor of the elevator will have to provide this in form of work

work done by the elevator to lift the cab to height of 49 m = net weight × distance (height) = 2501.55 × 49m

power provided by the motor of the elevator = workdone by the motor / time in seconds

Power = (2501.55 × 49) ÷ ( 3.1 × 60 seconds) = 659.01 W

What is the downward pull on an object due to gravity?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

force of gravity

Explanation:

The force of gravity is that which draws the bodies towards the surface of the Earth.

 The force of gravity brakes the objects that move up and accelerates those that move down. It causes a parabolic movement in what we throw upwards,

Add these measurements, using significant figure rules 1.0090cm + 0.02cm
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

1.03

Explanation:

0.02 has two significant decimal figures, so start by shortening 1.0090 to 2 decimal places (3 significant figures). Round up the decimal to become 1.1 and add .02 to get 1.3.
