The normal is a line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.

Physics

ladessa [460]3 years ago
4 0

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.

2. A 50 kg diver is standing on the edge of a 15 m high cliff. What is his potential energy?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

3675 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × mass × g × height

( g is the gravitation field strength )

Mass = 50 kg

G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )

Height = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × 50 ×9.8 × 15

= 3675 J

A skater with a mass of 72 kg is traveling east at 5.8 m/s when he collides with another skater of mass 45 kg heading 60° south
Akimi4 [234]

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

mass, m_{1} = 72 kg

speed, v_{1} = 5.8 m/s

Mass_{2},m_{2}  = 45 kg

speed_{2},v_{2}  = 12 m/s

Θ = 60°

Final velocity, v = ?

Applying the conservation of momentum:

m_{1} X v_{1} + m_{2} X v_{2} = (m_{1} +m_{2} ) v

72 X 5.8 + 45 X 12 X cos 60° = (72 + 45) v

v = 417.6 + 540 X \frac{0.5}{117}

v = 417.6 + \frac{270}{117}

v = 5.87 m/s

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

For a body to be in SHM, the restoring force must be __________ to displacement from equilibrium.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Proportional

Explanation:

The conditions that must be met to produce SHM are;

-The restoring force must be proportional to the displacement and act opposite to the direction of motion with no drag forces or friction.

- The frequency of oscillation does not depend on the amplitude.
