Explanation:

The Second Law of Reflection states that the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection. Therefore, the angle of reflection is same as the angle of incidence, that is, 00. So, the reflected ray will retrace the path of the incident ray.

How does your power output in climbing the stairs compare to the power output of a 100-watt light bulb? if your power could have

cricket20 [7]

1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is
$E=mgh=(80 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=3924 J$
So the power output is
$P= \frac{E}{t}= \frac{3924 J}{30 s} \sim 130 W$

And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.

2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.

5. What is the speed of a wave in a spring if it has a wavelength of 10 cm and a period of 0.2s

eimsori [14]

Explanation:

speed of wave

v = wavelength x frequency

since frequency is f = 1/Period then

v = wavelength : Period

v = 10 cm/ 0.2 s = 50 cm/s

v = 0.5 m/s

A 3.3 kg ball sits on the ground and is kicked with a FAPP of 36N

jeyben [28]

a) 32.3 N

The force of gravity (also called weight) on an object is given by

W = mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the ball in the problem,

m = 3.3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the ball:

$W=(3.3)(9.8)=32.3 N$

b) 48.3 N

The force applied

$F_{app} = 36 N$

The ball is kicked with this force, so we can assume that the kick is horizontal.

This means that the applied force and the weight are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, we can find the net force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$F=\sqrt{W^2+F_{app}^2}$

And substituting

W = 32.3 N

Fapp = 36 N

We find

$F=\sqrt{32.3^2+36^2}=48.3 N$

c) $14.6 m/s^2$

The ball's acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law, which states that

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

For the ball in this problem,

m = 3.3 kg

F = 48.3 N

Solving the equation for a, we find

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{48.3}{3.3}=14.6 m/s^2$
