<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>

<span><span><span>Hope it helps </span> </span></span>

Mike has a mass of 97 kg. He jumps out of a perfectly good airplane that is 2000 m above the ground. After he falls 1000 m, when
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a)  fr = 224.3 N , b)   fr = 224.3 N , c)   v = 198.0  m/s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by calculating the acceleration in the fall

             v² = v₀² - 2 a (y-y₀)

When it jumps the initial vertical speed is zero

             a = -v² / 2 (y-y₀)

             a = -68 2/2 (1000-2000)

             a = 2,312 m / s²

Let's use the second net law to enter the average friction force

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,312

            fr = 224.3 N

b) let's look for acceleration

            v² = v₀² - 2 a y

            a = (v² –v₀²) / 2 (y-y₀)

            a = (4² - 68²) / 2 (0-1000)

            a = 2,304 m / s²

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,304

            fr = 223.5 N

c) the speed of the wallet is searched with kinematics

           v² = v₀² - 2 g (y-y₀)

           v = √ (0-2 9.8 (0-2000))

           v = 198.0  m/s

Why do streets and highways have speed limits rather than velocity limits?
andrew11 [14]

They actually DO have velocity limits. There are legal restrictions on both speed and direction.

-- Speeds are limited according to the black numbers on white signs that you see on sign-posts everywhere.

-- Directions are limited by the layout of the pavement and curbs on all the highways, avenues, roads, boulevards and streets, as well as the countless signs that say "One Way", "No Left Turn", "Keep Right", "Keep Left", etc. Violate one of these, and you get nailed as sure as if you had exceeded a posted speed limit.
