How does a mirror affect the path of light?

1 answer:

8 0

Light rays change direction when they hit a mirror. The phenomenon is known as reflection. Light rays travels in a straight light. They strike the surface of the mirror at a particular angle called incident angle. It is the angle between the ray and normal at the point of contact. The rays leaves the surface making the same angle with the normal called reflection angle but in different direction.

The initial kinetic energy imparted to a 0.25 kg bullet is 1066 J. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Neglecting air re

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The range of the bullet is 0.435 kilometers.

Explanation:

According to the problem, maximum height is equal to the range of the bullet. That is:

$\Delta x = \Delta y$

Where:

$\Delta x$ - Range of the bullet, measured in meters.

$\Delta y$ - Maximum height of the bullet, measured in meters.

By the Principle of Energy Conservation, gravitational potential energy reaches its maximum at the expense of the initial kinetic energy. That is to say:

$K_{1} = U_{2}$

Where:

$K_{1}$ - Kinetic energy at point 1, measured in joules.

$U_{1}$ - Gravitational potential energy at point 2, measured in joules, and:

$U_{2} = m\cdot g \cdot \Delta y$

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the bullet, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational constant, measured in meters per square second.

The maximum height is now cleared:

$K_{1} = m\cdot g \cdot \Delta y$

$\Delta y = \frac{K_{1}}{m\cdot g}$

If $K_{1} = 1066\,J$ , $m = 0.25\,kg$ and $g = 9.81\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the maximum height is now computed:

$\Delta y = \frac{1066\,J}{(0.25\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$\Delta y = 434.791\,m$

$\Delta y = 0.435\,km$

Lastly, the range of the bullet is 0.435 kilometers.

Why do cells have receptors? Receptors make mRNA. Receptors let the cell know when to let things in and out of the cell. Recepto

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: Cells have receptors because Receptors let the cell know when to let things in and out of the cell.

Explanation:

Cell receptors also called transmembrane receptors are proteins located on the surface of a cell (extracellularly) or inside the cell which receive signals that alters the functions of the cell. The functions of the cells which can be altered includes the alteration in gene transcription and the cell morphology.

Cell receptors are generally categorizes into the following groups:

--> Internal receptors

--> cell surface receptors

--> ion channel receptors

--> G protein coupled receptors

--> enzyme linked receptors

Interaction of cell membrane receptors with specific ligands that bonds to the receptors causes conformational changes in the receptor protein. This in turn, enzymatically activates the intracellular part of the protein or induces interactions between the receptor and the proteins in the cytoplasm that act as second messengers, thereby relaying the signal from the extracellular part of the receptor to the interior of the cell. This enables the cell to know when to let things in or out of it through the information conveyed.

This diagram represents the synthesis of nitrogen monoxide. Write a balanced equation of this chemical reaction. A) N2(g) + O2(g

ruslelena [56]

The only balanced equation is B.

If you look at the equation and break it down you can see that in:

$N_{2} + O_{2}$ → $2NO$

Starting from the left side of the equation there are 2 Nitrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms as indicated by the subscript.

To balance the equation, the number of atoms of each element in the right side equation should be equal to left. By putting the numerical coefficient of 2, you will distribute that to each element. So you will end up with 2 nitrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms on the left side of the equation. Thus, the equation is balanced.

The answer again, is B.
