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.

D. The mirror's surface is angled 10 degrees downward 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

A uniform wooden plank with a mass of 75kg and length of 5m is placed on top of a brick wall so that 1.5m of plank extends beyon
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

x₂ = 1.33 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium condition, where the counterclockwise rotations are positive and the zero of the reference system is placed at the turning point on the wall

            Στ = 0

            W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the woman, W₂ the weight of the table.

Let's find the distances.

Since the table is homogeneous, its center of mass coincides with its geometric center, measured at zero.

           x₁ = 2.5 -1.5 = 1 m

The distance of the person is x₂ measured from the turning point, at the point where the board begins to turn the girl must be on the left side so her torque must be negative

            x₂ = \frac{M_1g  }{m_2 g} \ x_1

           

let's calculate

           x₂ = \frac{100}{75}  \ 1

           x₂ = 1.33 m

Question 3 of 10
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

D. Newton's second law

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that force of an object is a product of its mass and its acceleration.

Mathematically, F= ma where  m is mass and a is acceleration

So from the statement above : The acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied to it and  inversely proportional to its mass , it can be seen from the formula variation as;

F= ma -----making a the subject of the formula

a= F/ m

a= 1/m * F --------- a  is inversely related to m  as you can see from 1/m but directly related to F  hence;

Increase in mass with the same force applied causes the body to accelerate slower where as when force increases, the body accelerates faster.

A 3 kg rock sits on a 0.8 meter ledge. If it is pushed off, how fast will it be going at the bottom?
andrey2020 [161]

As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .

   Potential energy =      (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

                                       (3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .

If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.

   Kinetic energy =                                          (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                                                 23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by  1.5 kg :     23.52 m²/s² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:    speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) =  <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)

Examples of applied force
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Push - The most common form of force is a push through physical contact (like a lawnmower or shopping cart)

Pull - You can apply a force by directly pulling on an object (like pulling a wagon)
