A beam strikes an irregular mirror and is reflected as shown below. The angle formed by the incoming beam and the reflected beam

is 10 degrees. What is the angle of the mirror's surface (measured against vertical) at the location where the beam strikes the mirror?
A. The mirror's surface is angled 5 degrees upward where the laser strikes it.

B. The mirror's surface is angled 5 degrees downward where the laser strikes it.

C. The mirror's surface is angled 10 degrees upward where the laser strikes it.

Answer:

the correct answer is B

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that the angles of incidence and reflection on a surface are the same, the two rays and the normal are in the same part of the surface.

In this exercise indicate that the angle between the incident and reflected ray is 10, therefore the angle with respect to the normal that is a vertical line at the point of contact of the ray must be 5

Consequently the correct answer is B

What is the moment of inertia of a cube with mass M=0.500kg and side lengths s=0.030m about an axis which is both normal (perpen
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The moment of inertia I is

I = 2.205x10^-4 kg/m^2

Explanation:

Given mass m = 0.5 kg

And side lenght = 0.03 m

Moment of inertia I = mass x radius of rotation squared

I = mr^2

In this case, the radius of rotation is about an axis which is both normal (perpendicular) to and through the center of a face of the cube.

Calculating from the dimensions of the the box as shown in the image below, the radius of rotation r = 0.021 m

Therefore,

I = 0.5 x 0.021^2 = 2.205x10^-4 kg/m^2

A car travels a distance of 140 km at 70.0 km/hr. It then travels an additional distance of 60.0 km at 40.0 km/hr. The average s
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

57.1 km/hr

Explanation:

To find the average speed you take the total distance divided by the total elapsed time.

So, the total distance is 140 + 60 = 200

the total elapsed time is found by taking 140/70=2 and 60/40=1.5

2+1.5=3.5

The plug the numbers into the equation,

200/3.5=57.1
