According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
(1)
we are only concerned about the horizontal direction, so there are only two forces acting on the box in this direction:
- the horizontal component of the force exerted by the rope, which is equal to
- the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction, which is equal to
By applying Newton's law (1), we can calculate the acceleration of the box:
Answer:
equal to 1
Explanation:
When any ray of light falls or strikes on a surface, the ray is reflected back and the angle of reflection is equal to angle of the incidence, where both the angles are always measured from the path of light that is normal to surface of the point at which the ray of light strikes the surface. This is called as the laws of reflection of light.
And therefore, the ratio of the angle of incidence to the angle of reflection is always equal to 1.
Answer:
The hypothesis is only an assumption that has not yet been proven, when it has been tested, and it cannot be shown that it is false, then it is no longer a simple hypothesis, it is a Theory. Hypothesis is when we raise a supposed result. Theory is the result of an experiment.
