Answer:

bounces off the mirror at the same angle it hits the solid surface.

Explanation:

According to the Law of Reflection, a light ray strikes a mirror at the point of incidence bounces off the mirror at the same angle it hits the solid surface.

The incident ray and the reflected ray lie in the same plane

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection as a ray of light reflects off a solid surface.

So,

correct answer is ''bounces off the mirror at the same angle it hits the solid surface.''

At a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 ✕ 10−4 T, pointing 75° below the horizontal in a north-south plane. A

saveliy_v [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Magnetic field,B= $0.6\times 10^{-4} T$

$\theta=75^{\circ}$

Length of wire,l=15 m

Current,I=19 A

a.We have to find the magnitude of magnetic force and direction of magnetic force.

Magnetic force,F= $IBlsin\theta$

Using the formula

$F=0.6\times 10^{-4}\times 15\times 19sin75$

$F=16.5\times 10^{-3} N$

Direction= $tan\theta=cot(90-75)=tan15^{\circ}$

$\theta=15^{\circ}$

15 degree above the horizontal in the northward direction.

Until a train is a safe distance from the station, it must travel at 5 m/s. Once the train is on open track, it can speec

nadezda [96]

Answer:

The acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

let the initial velocity of a train = 5 m/s and

final velocity of a train = 45 m/s

time taken = 8 s

To find:

acceleration: ?

Solution:

We define acceleration as change in velocity per unit time that is the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity divided by time.

$Acceleration = \frac{\textrm{final velocity} - \textrm{initial velocity}}{time} \\$

On substituting the above values we get the required acceleration

$Acceleration = \frac{45 - 5}{8}\\ =\frac{40}{8}\\ =5\ m/s^{2}$

Therefore,the acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².

If a spring has a spring constant of 1.00 × 10^3 N/m, what is the restoring force when the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm?

never [62]

The spring has a spring constant of 1.00 * 10^3 N/m and the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm then the restoring force is 20000 N/m.

Explanation:

When a spring is stretched or compressed its length changes by an amount x from its equilibrium length then the restoring force is exerted.

spring constant is k = 1.00 * 10^3 N/m

mass is x = 20.0 cm

According to Hooke's law, To find restoring force,

F = - kx

= - 1.00 *10 ^3 * 20.0

F = 20000 N/m

Thus, the spring has a spring constant of 1.00 * 10^3 N/m and the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm then the restoring force is 20000 N/m.
