Answer:
The angle of incident ray is 40°.
Explanation:
Given that the angle of incident and reflected ray are the same. In this question, we had given that both angles added up will gives you 80° so you have to divide it by 2 :
incident + reflected = 80°
Let incident = reflected = θ
θ + θ = 80°
2θ = 80°
θ = 80° ÷ 2
= 40°
Answer:
The force is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the block is 
The coefficient of static friction is 
The coefficient of kinetic friction is 
The normal force acting on the block is

substituting values


Given that the force we are to find is the force required to get the block to start moving then the force acting against this force is the static frictional force which is mathematically evaluated as

substituting values


Now for this block to move the force require is equal to
i.e

=>
