Answer:

Angle of incidence

Explanation:

The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

Reflection is defined as the repropagation of light rays incidented on a plane or smooth surface. When a light ray strikes a plane surface we say it is incidented on the surface and all incident light tends to reflect out at the same angle that they strike the surface.

There is a third ray acting on the smooth surface and perpendicular to the surface, this ray is called the normal ray. The angle that the incident ray make with this normal ray is angle of incidence while the angle that the reflected ray makes with the normal ray is the angle of reflection. When light ray strikes the surface, this two angles are always equal according to the second law of reflection.

Answer:

Angle of incidence ray

Explanation:

The way light reflects off a smooth surface is described by the law of reflection. This law states that the angle of reflection equals the ANGLE OF INCIDENCE RAY.

This is because, when light is reflected off a smooth surface, the light is reflected by all the points that is present on that smooth surface.

Therefore the speed at which the light rays falls on the smooth surface is the same as the speed at which the light ray is reflected back. Due to their speed been the same, the distance of the incidence ray would also be the same as the distance of the reflected ray.

Hence the angle of incidence = angle of reflection.

Aaron's normal response time to apply the car brakes is 0.7 seconds. Aaron's response time doubles when he is tired. How far wil
Likurg_2 [28]

Aaron's car is moving at speed of 30 m/s

His reaction time is given as 0.7 s

but when he is tired the reaction time is doubled

Now we need to find the distance covered by his car when he is tired during the time when he react to apply brakes

So here since during this time speed is given as constant so we can say that distance covered can be product of speed and time

So here we can use

d = v*t

d = 30 * 1.4

d = 42 m

So the car will move to 42 m during the time when he apply brakes

1. Which of the following statements best describes matter?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass

Explanation:

The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.

The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.

Matter can be in three different states also:

- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move

- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other

- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other

A sound wave with a frequency of 400 Hz is moving through a solid object. If the wavelength of the sound wave is 8 m, what is th
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

v = 3200 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the sound wave is given as

f = 400 Hz

wavelength of the sound wave is given as

\lambda = 8 m

so now we have

speed = wavelength \times frequency

so we will have

v = (8m) \times (400 Hz)

v = 3200 m/s
