Answer:

True

Explanation:

The normal line is defined as the line which is perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point where the incident ray meet with the reflecting surface.

The angle of incident is defined as the angle which is subtended by the incident ray with respect to the normal ray by consider the normal ray as the base line and angle is measured from the point where incident ray is incident on the reflecting surface of the mirror.

Similarly reflecting ray can be defined as the ray which is reflected after the incident of a ray and the angle subtended by the reflecting ray is measure with respect to normal ray by considering normal ray as a base line.

Therefore, the normal ray is the perpendicular line to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.

Answer:

Magnitude of the resulting force on the 7 nC charge at the origin:

Fn₁= 23.95*10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

Look at the attached graphic:

Charges of positive signs exert repulsive forces on q₁ + and charges of negative signs exert attractive forces on q₁ +.

q₁ experiences three forces (F₂₁,F₃₁,F₄₁) and we calculate them with Coulomb's law:

F = (k*q₁*q)/(d)²

$d_{12} = \sqrt{3^{2}+3^{2} } = \sqrt{18}$ m : distance from q₁ to q₂

(d₁₂)² = 18 m²

$d_{13} =\sqrt{1^{2}+3^{2} } = \sqrt{10}$ m : distance from q₁ to q₃

(d₁₃)² = 10 m²

$d_{14} =\sqrt{3^{2}+2^{2} } = \sqrt{13}$ m : distance from q₁ to q₄

(d₁₄)² = 13 m²

K= 8.98755 × 10⁹ N *m²/C²

q₁= 7*10⁻⁹C

k*q₁=8.98755*10⁹ *7*10⁻⁹= 62.9

F₂₁= (62.9)*(9* 10⁻⁹) /(18) = 31.45*10⁻⁹ C

F₃₁= (62.9)*(7* 10⁻⁹) /(10) = 44*10⁻⁹ C

F₄₁= (62.9)*(8* 10⁻⁹) /(13) = 38.7*10⁻⁹ C

x-y components of the net force on q₁ (Fn₁):

α= tan⁻¹(3/3)= 45° , β= tan⁻¹(3/1)= 71.56° , θ= tan⁻¹(2/3)= 33.69°

Fn₁x = F₂₁x+ F₃₁x+F₄₁x

F₂₁x =+ F₂₁*cosα =+ (31.45*10⁻⁹)* (cos 45°) = +22.24 *10⁻⁹ N

F₃₁x= -F₃₁*cosβ = - ( 44*10⁻⁹)* (cos 71.56°) = -13.91 *10⁻⁹ N

F₄₁x= -F₄₁*cosθ = -(38.7*10⁻⁹)* (cos 33.69°) = -32.2*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁x = (+22.24 - 13.91 - 32.2)*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁x = -23.87 *10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁y = F₂₁y+ F₃₁y+F₄₁y

F₂₁x =+ F₂₁*sinα =+ (31.45*10⁻⁹)* (sin 45°) = +22.24 *10⁻⁹ N

F₃₁x= -F₃₁*sinβ = - ( 44*10⁻⁹)* (sin 71.56°) = -41.74 *10⁻⁹ N

F₄₁x= +F₄₁*sinθ = +(38.7*10⁻⁹)* (sin 33.69°) =+21.47*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁y = (22.24 -41.74+21.47)*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁y = 1.97*10⁻⁹ N

Magnitude of the resulting force on the 7 nC charge at the origin (q₁):

$F_{n1} =\sqrt{(Fn_{1x} )^{2}+(Fn_{1y} )^{2} }$

$F_{n1} =\sqrt{(23.87 )^{2}+(1.97 )^{2} }$

Fn₁= 23.95*10⁻⁹ N

Explain the benefits of understanding sound waves properties in real life.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The vibrations from sound waves cause our ears to send signals to our brains to create sound. The speed of sound waves will determine the sound's pitch, or how high or low something sounds. Sound waves are important because they allow us to hear important messages and emergency signals to protect ourselves.

A ramp is 1.0 m high and 3.0 m long. What is the IMA of the ramp?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane, divide th length of the incline by the height of the incline.
Therefore; IMA = L/h
L= 3.0 m, while h =1.0 m
IMA = 3/1
= 3
Therefore the IMA of the ramp is 3
This means the ramp increases the force that is being exerted by 3 times.
