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

A tug boat pulls a ship with a constant net horizontal force of 5.00•10*3 N and causes the ship to move through a harbor. How mu
Murljashka [212]

The work done on the ship is 1.5\cdot 10^7 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

In this problem, we have:

F=5.00\cdot 10^3 N (force acting on the ship)

d = 3.00 km = 3000 m (displacement of the ship)

\theta=0^{\circ} (because the force is horizontal, and the displacement is horizontal as well)

Therefore, the work done on the ship is

W=(5.00\cdot 10^3)(3000)(cos 0^{\circ})=1.5\cdot 10^7 J

The object represented by this graph is moving
Vinil7 [7]

The object represented by this graph is moving toward the origin at constant velocity.

Option 3.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the figure, x-axis is representing increase in the time and y-axis is presenting increase in the distance from bottom to up. But the line in the graph which is plotted is decreasing from high distance to small distance with increase in time. So this indicates that as the time is increasing, the distance is decreasing.

And the object is moving toward the origin as the distance of the object motion is found to decrease with increase of time as per the graph. But the slope of the graph is found to be almost constant, this indicates that the velocity of the object is constant. Thus, the object represented by this graph is moving toward the origin at constant velocity.

Explain why selling cereal by mass rather then by volume be more fair to customers
Orlov [11]

<em>Answer:</em>

Simple, there could be air in the package and volume would record that, whereas mass would count the mass of the cereal and discount the air.
