Answer:

The time it will take the car to travel the next 15 m is 1 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

time of motion, t = 2.4 s

initial distance traveled, d = 15 m

determine the constant acceleration of the car;

d = ut  +  ¹/₂at²

15 = 0  +  (0.5 x 2.4²)a

15 = 2.88a

a = 15 / 2.88

a = 5.21 m/s²

The velocity of the car at the end of the first 15 m

v - u + at

v = 0 + 5.21 x 2.4

v = 12.5 m/s

The time to cover the next 15 m;

d₂ = vt  + ¹/₂at²

15 = 12.5t  +  (0.5 x 5.21)t²

15 = 12.5t  +  2.61t²

0 = 2.61t²  +   12.5t   -  15

Use the formula method to solve the above quadratic equation.

a = 2.61

b = 12.5

c = -15

t = \frac{-b \ \ +/-   \ \ \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\t = \frac{-12.5 \ \ +/-   \ \ \sqrt{12.5^2 - (4\times 2.61 \times -15)} }{2\times 2.61}\\\\t = 0.9937 \ s \ \ \ or \ \ \ -5.78 \ s\\\\time \ can \ only \ be \ positive;\\\\t \approx \ 1\ s

Therefore, the time it will take the car to travel the next 15 m is 1 s.

You lay a mirror flat on the floor with one edge against a wall and aim a laser at the mirror. The ray reflects from the mirror
joja [24]

Answer:

the angle of incidence θ is 45.56 º

Explanation:

Given data

strikes the mirror before wall x = 30.7 cm

reflected ray strikes the wall y =  30.1 cm

to find out

the angle of incidence θ

solution

let us consider ray is strike at angle  θ so after strike on surface ray strike to wall at angle 90 - θ

we will apply here right angle triangle rule that is

tan( 90 - θ) = y /x

tan( 90 - θ)  = 30.1 / 30.7

90 - θ = tan^-1 (30.1/30.7)

90 - θ = 44.4345

θ = 45.56 º

the angle of incidence θ is 45.56 º
