Answer: b.focusing light through a camera lens

Explanation:

Reflection is an optical phenomenon in which light bounces off an opaque surface on which it falls.

A mirror is formed of glass which has highly lustrous metal coated at the back. The light bounces of the surface. The image forms behind the mirror. The image is formed at the same distance as object and of the same height.

A still lake also acts as a mirror. Thus, reflection takes place from its surface and the image can be seen.

We are able to see objects when light from some source bounces off it and reaches our eye. Thus, reflection occurs here.

But, in case of camera lens, the light passes through a converging lens focuses at a point. Here, the phenomenon of refraction occurs not reflection.

4) The components of Vector A are given as follows Ax = -2.4 Ay = + 3.8 What is the magnitude of the A, and what is the angle th

Monica [59]

Answer:

A = 4.49

α = 57.72°

Explanation:

Knowing the magnitude of x & y of a vector we can determine the total magnitude of a vector.

$A=\sqrt{A_{x}^{2} +A_{y}^{2} } \\A=\sqrt{(2.4)^{2} +(3.8)^{2} }\\A=4.49$

The angle tangent can be used to determine the angle.

$tan(\alpha )=\frac{3.8}{2.4}\\tan(\alpha ) =1.5833\\\alpha =tan^{-1}(1.5833) \\\alpha = 57.72 (deg)$

Does an object in inelastic collisions exert less force than elastic collisions?

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The object exerts <em>same</em> amount of force in elastic and inelastic collisions.

Explanation:

The force an object exerts is not different between the two types of collisions. What changes from elastic to inelastic is the amount of energy transformed from kinetic to other type during an inelastic collision.
