The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the <em>angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection</em>.

In this question, the light ray passes from air to water, an optically denser medium.

Imagine drawing a line to representing the boundary between two mediums. Now imagine drawing a line perpendicular to that boundary line marking where the light ray intersects the boundary line. This second line is called the normal. Whenever a light ray passes into a denser medium with a nonzero angle of incidence, the ray will bend towards the normal, making the <em>angle of refraction smaller than the angle of incidence</em>.

Choice A

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 90.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The mass of the ice block is equal to 70.15 kg

Explanation:

The data for this exercise are as follows:

F=90 N

insignificant friction force

x=13 m

t=4.5 s

m=?

applying the equation of rectilinear motion we have:

x = xo + vot + at^2/2

where xo = initial distance =0

vo=initial velocity = 0

a is the acceleration

therefore the equation is:

x = at^2/2

Clearing a:

a=2x/t^2=(2x13)/(4.5^2)=1.283 m/s^2

we use Newton's second law to calculate the mass of the ice block:

F=ma

m=F/a = 90/1.283=70.15 kg

The stiffness of a particular spring is 42 N/m. One end of the spring is attached to a wall. A force of 2 N is required to hold
Liula [17]

Answer:

L_{o}=0.1224m

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

F_{spring}=k_{s}|s|\\F_{spring}=k_{s}(L-L_{o})\\ 2N=(42N/m)(0.17m-L_{o})\\2=7.14-42L_{o}\\-42L_{o}=2-7.14\\42L_{o}=5.14\\L_{o}=(5.14/42)\\L_{o}=0.1224m

What is the kinetic energy of a 1130 kg truck that is moving with a velocity of 40 m/s?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 904,000.

Kinetic energy=1/2mv^2.

1/2×1130×40^2.

1/2×1808000=904,000Joules.
