In question #5, the one where you have to label the three pictures,
all of your labels are correct !

Look at the 3rd picture, where the light is coming down slanted,
hitting some kind of surface, and bouncing away slanted.
You labelled that picture "reflection", and that's correct.

Now, look at the two angles marked in the picture .... the angle
between the arriving light and the surface, and the angle between
the departing light and the surface.

There is a statement in Science called the "Law of Reflection".
It simply says that those two angles are EQUAL.
I don't think we have to get into WHY right now. I think that
at this point, your class is just trying to teach you what the law says.
If you go on and study more physics in High School, then you'll learn
WHY the angles are equal.

If the light ray arrives and hits the mirror at a 40° angle,
then it'll leave the mirror at a 40° angle. It's that simple.

The two angles are the ones marked equal in the picture
where you wrote 'reflection'.

Sammy squirrel is steering his boat at a heading of 327 degree at 18mph. The current is flowing at 4mph at a heading of 60 degre

Tanya [424]

Answer:

59.97 º at 18.23 mph

Explanation:

To find Sammy's course you have to add the two velocities (vectors), 18 mph 327º and 4 mph 60º.

To add the two vectors analytically you decompose each vector into their vertical and horizontal components.

1. 18 mph 327º

Horizontal component: 18 mph × cos (327º) = 15.10 mph

Vertical component: 18 mph × sin (327º) = - 9.80 mph

Vector notation:

$15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j$

2. 4 mph 60º

Horizontal component: 4 mph × cos (60º) = 2.00 mph

Vertical component: 4 mph × sin (60º) = 3.46 mph

Vector notation:

$2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j$

3. Addition:

You add the corresponding components:

$15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j+2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j\\ \\ 17.10\hat i-6.34\hat j$

To find the magnitude use Pythagorean theorem:

$\sqrt{17.1^2+6.34^2}= 18.23$

4. Direction:

Use the tangent ratio:

$tan(\alpha )=opposite/adjacent=3.46/2.00=1.73$

Find the inverse:

arctan (1.73) ≈ 59.97º

One particular descent goes from 2100m to 1600m. Assuming work done against friction is 90% of the potential energy change of th

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1/2 M V^2 = .1 M g H where 10% of PE goes into KE

V^2 = .2 g H = .2 * 9.8 * (2100 - 1600) = 980 m^2 / s^2

V = 31.1 m/s increase in speed during descent

1 km / hr = 1000 m / 3600 sec = .278 m/s

V = 31.1 m/s / (.278 m/s / km /hr)= 112 km/hr

Why a surface that always have a perpendicular is an equipotential

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

An equipotential surface is circular in the two-dimensional. Since the electric field lines are directed radially away from the charge, hence they are opposite to the equipotential lines. Therefore, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface.

Mary starts from her house, walks 80 meters south, and stops to chat with her aunt on the sidewalk. After chatting for a few min

Alex

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance = (80m) + (125m) + (45m) = 250 meters

Overall time = 10 minutes

Average speed = (250 meters) / (10 minutes)

Average speed = 25 meters/minute

Since we're only looking for average speed and not velocity, we don't care about any of the directions, and we don't need to calculate Mary's displacement.
