Hi
I think the answer is:
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY TRANSFORMS INTO KINETIC ENERGY.
HOPE IT HELPS.
F=-ks
F=-(390)(.45)
F=-175.5 N
Work=force x displacement
Work= 175.5(0.45)
Work= 78.98 J
Work = ∆E =78.98 J
Answer=79J (first option)
What happens when the light hits the glass depends on what it was in before it hit the glass.
WHILE it's in the glass, the speed of light doesn't change.
It's angle of reflection must be 41 degrees
we know, by the first law of reflection that angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection..........
I beleve the answer is D).
