d below. It then flies 50.0 meters in 5.0 seconds to catch the snake. What was the hawk’s average speed over his entire journey?
A.) 150 m/s

B.) 3,750 m/s

C.) .17m/s

D.) 6 m/s

Speed = distance / time.

Speed of him leaving the nest:
S = 100 / 20sec

5 m/s.

Catching the snake:
S2 = 50 / 5sec

10 m/s.

Average of 5& 10 = 7.5

7.5 m/s has to be the answer.

A 5kg box slides across the floor with an initial velocity of 5m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and t
4vir4ik [10]

The net force on the block perpendicular to the floor is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg = 0

so that

F[normal] = (5 kg) g = 49 N

Then

F[friction] = 0.1 F[normal] = 4.9 N

so that the net force parallel to the floor is

∑ F[para] = -4.9 N = (5 kg) a

Solve for the acceleration a :

a = (-4.9 N) / (5 kg) = -0.98 m/s²

Starting with an initial velocity of 5 m/s, the box comes to a stop after time t such that

0 = 5 m/s - (0.98 m/s²) t

⇒   t ≈ 5.1 s

The law of reflection is quite useful for mirrors and other flat, shiny surfaces. (This sort of reflection is called specular re
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose initially the plane was horizontal and light was reflected back at some angle θ from the normal .

Now the reflecting surface is twisted so that is becomes inclined at angle alpha .

The reflected light will be deviated from its original direction by angle

2 x alpha .

Similarly when the reflecting surface is further twisted so that it becomes inclined at angle beta then again the reflected beam will deviated by angle

2 x beta

Hence angle between these two reflected beam

= 2 beta - 2 alpha

= 2 ( β - α )

So, angular separation between the rays reflected from the two surfaces

= 2 ( β - α ) .
