Kyle lays a mirror flat on the floor and aims a laser at the mirror. The laser beam reflects off the mirror and strikes an adjac

ent wall. The plane of the incident and reflected beams is perpendicular to the wall. The beam from the laser strikes the mirror at a distance a=33.7 cm from the wall. The reflected beam strikes the wall at a height b=36.7 cm above the surface of the mirror. Find the angle of incidence θi at which the laser beam strikes the mirror.

Answer:

The angle of incidence is  \theta_i  =42.6^o

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

   The distance between the mirror and the wall is  a = 33.7 cm

    The height of the above the mirror is  b = 36.7 cm

Generally the angle which the reflected ray make with the mirror is mathematically evaluated as

             \alpha  =tan ^{-1} (\frac{b}{a})

substituting values

             \alpha = tan ^{-1}( \frac{36.7}{33.7})

            \alpha =47.4^o

From the diagram we can deduce that  the angle of incidence is

             \theta_i  = 90 - \alpha

So          \theta_i = 90 - 47.4

              \theta_i  =42.6^o

How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance?
WINSTONCH [101]
When you heat something of cool it down you don't change the substance you might change the why is looks, but it is still the same substance. For example you cool water to 0 degrees Celsius it turns into ice but it still is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen H2O. Physical changes will change state and/or form but it will still be what it originally was on the molecular level. Hope that helped.

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B at a speed of 2.30 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 1.70 10
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed (V) = speed of 2.30×10^7 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.70×10^13 m/s^2

Using the right hand rule provided by  Lorentz law:

B = F / qvSinΘ

Where B = magnitude of the magnetic field

v = speed of the particle

Θ = 90° (perpendicular to the field)

q = charge of the particle

SinΘ = sin90°  = 1

Note F = ma

Therefore,

B = ma / qvSinΘ

Mass of proton = 1.67 × 10^-27

Charge = 1.6 × 10^-19 C

B = [(1.67 × 10^-27) × (1.70 × 10^13)] / (1.6 × 10^-19) × (2.30 × 10^7) × 1

B = 2.839 × 10^-14 / 3.68 × 10^-12

B = 0.7715 × 10^-2

B = 7.72 × 10^-3 T

2) Magnetic field will be in the negative y direction according to the right hand thumb rule.

Since Velocity is in the positive z- direction, acceleration in the positive x - direction, then magnetic field must be in the negative y-direction.

A 5.5kg radio is pushed across the table. If the acceleration is 5m/s to the right, find the net force exerted on the radio.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Net force exerted on the radio is 27.5 Newton.

Given:

Mass = 5.5 kg

Acceleration = 5 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

To find:

Force exerted on the radio = ?

Formula used:

F = ma

Where F = net force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

Where F = net force

m = mass

a = acceleration

F = 5.5 × 5

F = 27.5 Newton

Hence, Net force exerted on the radio is 27.5 Newton.
