Answer:

The angle of incident ray is 40°.

Explanation:

Given that the angle of incident and reflected ray are the same. In this question, we had given that both angles added up will gives you 80° so you have to divide it by 2 :

incident + reflected = 80°

Let incident = reflected = θ

θ + θ = 80°

2θ = 80°

θ = 80° ÷ 2

= 40°

<h2>Answer: B)Scientists’ understanding of cells continually improved as the results of studies built upon each other over time and formed the cell theory.</h2>

Explanation:

Nowadays we know cells are essential microscopic units that make up the living beings, capable of reproducing independently.

However, this is the result of a long process of discoveries and studies made since the 19th century, in which the continuous improvement of new technologies was helpful.

In fact, it is wel known the English scientist Robert Hooke was the first to discover the existence of cells by looking through a compound microscope at a cork sheet, realizing that it was made up of small polygonal holes (like those of a honeycomb) that reminded him of the chambers in which the monks stayed (called cells). Then, during the next centuries more studies were made until we had the current knowledge about the structure of a cell.

A 1,100 kg car is traveling initially 20 m/s when the brakes are applied. The brakes apply a constant force while bringing the c

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Work done = -220,000 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 1100kg

Initial velocity = 20m/s

To find workdone, we would calculate the kinetic energy possessed by the car.

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where,

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}*1100*20^{2}$

$K.E = 550*400$

K.E = 220,000J

Therefore, the workdone to bring the car to rest would be -220,000 Joules because the braking force is working to oppose the motion of the car.

A cloud of interstellar gas is rotating. Because the gravitational force pulls the gas particles together, the cloud shrinks, an

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Greater than

Explanation:

Here, angular momentum is conserved.

$l_1\omega_1 =l_2\omega_2$

When the cloud shrinks under the right conditions, a star may be formed.

Thus, Diameter of clouds are much higher than a star.

Moment of inertia of cloud is greater than the star's inertial.

so, angular velocity of the star would be greater than angular velocity of the rotating gas.
