Answer:

The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection.

A 16 g rifle bullet traveling 240 m/s buries itself in a 3.6 kg pendulum hanging on a 2.5 m long string, which makes the pendulu

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

x = 0.54 m

y = 0.058 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 16 g = 0.016 kg

v = speed of bullet before collision = 240 m/s

M = mass of the pendulum = 3.6 kg

L = length of the string = 2.5 m

h = height gained by the pendulum after collision

V = speed of the bullet and pendulum combination

Using conservation of momentum

m v = (m + M) V

(0.016) (240) = (0.016 + 3.6) V

V = 1.062 m/s

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by bullet and pendulum combination = Kinetic energy of bullet and pendulum combination

(m + M) g h = (0.5) (m + M) V²

(9.8) h = (0.5) (1.062)²

h = 0.058 m

y = vertical displacement = h = 0.058 m

x = horizontal displacement

horizontal displacement is given as

x = sqrt(L² - (L - h)²)

x = sqrt(2.5² - (2.5 - 0.058)²)

x = 0.54 m

Type the correct answer in the box. use numerals instead of words. anne has a sample of a substance. its volume is 20 cm3, and i

CaHeK987 [17]

The density of sample is 5 g/cm3

Given:

volume of sample = 20 cm3

mass of sample = 100 grams

To Find:

density of sample

Solution: Density is the measure of how much “stuff” is in a given amount of space. For example, a block of the heavier element lead (Pb) will be denser than the softer, lighter element gold (Au). A block of Styrofoam is less dense than a brick. It is defined as mass per unit volume

density = mass/volume

d = 100/20

d = 5 g/cm3

So, density of sample is 5 g/cm3

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?

azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.

The velocity time graph of a car shown below a) Calculate the magnitude of displacement of the car in 40 seconds. b) During whic

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) 0 metres

b) From time 0 s to 10 s , the car was accelerated. Its velocity accelerated from 0m/s to 20 m/s

c) 20 m/s

Explanation:

a) <em>Formula of displacement= velocity x time</em>

time=40 s

velocity =0 m/s

∴ displacement= 0 x 40 = 0 m

Magnitude of displacement is 0 m

b) The increase in velocity shows that there has been acceleration.

c) The average velocity of the car is = $\frac{0+40}{2\\}$ {initial velocity + final velocity}

= $\frac{40}{2}$

=20

Therefore, the magnitude of the average velocity of the car is 20 m/s
