<span>
<span>When light bounces off an object, it either gets absorbed, or reflected. For example, light can get absorbed on surfaces which are black in color and they can reflect from flat surfaces such as a mirror. It all matters on the angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is also known as the angle of reflection.</span></span>

<span><span /></span><span> Angle of reflection = Angle of incidence</span>

<span /><span>T<span><span>he ray of light approaching the mirror is called the incident ray. The ray of light that leaves the mirror is called the reflected ray.   </span></span></span>

Calculate the speed of an object having momentum 7.25 x 10^5 kg.m/s and mass 0.285 kg. Answer in units of m/s.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

speed is 25.43 85 x 10^5  m/s

Explanation:

momentum = 7.25 x 10^5 kg.m/s

mass = 0.285 kg

to find out

speed

solution

we have given mass and momentum so

to find speed we apply here momentum formula that is

momentum = mass × speed   ...................1

put here all value and find speed

speed = momentum / mass

speed = 7.25 x 10^5 / 0.285

speed = 2543859.649

so speed is 25.43 85 x 10^5  m/s

Each diagram shows a single experimental trial in which you will drop a ball from some height. in each case, the ball's size, ma
enot [183]
<span>The simplest way to test the effects of mass is to compare the results of two trials that are identical except for the mass of the balls. In the language of experimental design, we say that the mass is the "variable of interest" for this experiment, and we therefore hold the other variables (size and height) constant so that they cannot affect the results.</span>

What will be the weight of a box, mass 10Kg on the surface of a hypothetical planet having mass double of Earth and the radius i
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

           W ’= 21.78 kg

Explanation:

The expression for weight is

          W = m g

let's look for the acceleration of gravity with the universal law of gravitation

          F = G m M / r2

          F = m (G M / r2)

without comparing the two equations

          g’= G M / r2

in that case M = 2 Mo and r = 3 ro

where mo and ro are the mass and radius of the earth

         we substitute

         g ’= G 2Mo / (3r₀) 2

         G ’= 2/9 G Mo / r₀²

         g ’= 2/9 g

the weight of the body on this planet is

         W ’= m g’

          W ’= m 2/9 g

let's calculate

          W ’= 2/9 10 9.8

           W ’= 21.78 kg
