Answer:

equal to 1

Explanation:

When any ray of light falls or strikes on a surface, the ray is reflected back and the angle of reflection is equal to angle of the incidence, where both the angles are always measured from the path of light that is normal to surface of the point at which the ray of light strikes the surface. This is called as the laws of reflection of light.

And therefore, the ratio of the angle of incidence to the angle of reflection is always equal to 1.

Answer:

SEE EXPLANATION

Explanation:

$p = \frac{fd}{t} \\ where \: \\p = power \\ f = force \\ d = distance \\ and \: t = time \\ \\ p = \frac{3800 \times 50}{10} \\ p = \frac{190000}{10} \\ p = 19000w$

If half of the weight of a flatbed truck is supported by its two drive wheels, what is the maximum acceleration it can achieve o

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration will be equal to $3.43m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.7$

And coefficient of static friction $\mu _s=1$

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

When truck moves maximum force will be equal to $F=\mu _kmg$

It is given that half of the weight is supported by its drive wheels

So force required $=\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}$

From newtons law maximum acceleration will be equal to $a=\frac{\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}}{m}=\frac{\mu _kg}{2}=\frac{0.7\times 9.8}{2}=3.43m/sec^2$

a 2000 kg truck is traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s. What velocity must a 1000 kg car have in order to have the same momentum a

Molodets [167]

The car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is measured as the product of mass of object with the velocity attained by that object.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Mass × Velocity

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = 2000×30 = 60000 N

Similarly, the momentum of 1000 kg car will be 1000× velocity of the 1000 kg car.

Since, it is stated that momentum of 2000 kg truck is equal to the momentum of 1000 kg of car, then the velocity of 1000 kg of car can be determined by equating the momentum of car and truck.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Momentum of 1000 kg car

60000=1000×velocity of 1000 kg car

Velocity of 1000 kg car = 60000/1000=60 m/s

So, the car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.
