Answer:

This question is vague because it doesn't specify whether 20° is the angle of incidence or the angle the ray makes with the surface

But If we consider 20° as the angle of Incidence...

The Angle of Reflection = 20° also

Because

From The Law of Reflection

Angle of Incidence = Angle of Reflection

Natali5045456 [20]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A plate of uniform areal density $\rho = 2 \ kg/m^2$ is bounded by the four curves:

$y = -x^2+4x-5m$

$y = x^2+4x+6m$

$x=1 \ m$

$x=2 \ m$

where x and y are in meters. Point $P$ has coordinates $P_x=1 \ m$ and $P_y=-2 \ m$ . What is the moment of inertia $I_P$ of the plate about the point $P$ ?

Solution :

Given :

$y = -x^2+4x-5$

$y = x^2+4x+6$

$x=1$

$x=2$

and $\rho = 2 \ kg/m^2$ , $P_x=1 \$ , $P_y=-2 \$ .

So,

$dI = dmr^2$

$dI = \rho \ dA \ r^2$ , $r=\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2}$

$dI = (\rho)((x-1)^2+(y+2)^2)dx \ dy$

$I= 2 \int_1^2 \int_{-x^2+4x-5}^{x^2+4x+6}((x-1)^2+(y+2)^2) dy \ dx$

$I= 2 \int_1^2 \int_{-x^2+4x-5}^{x^2+4x+6}(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2 \ dy \ dx$

$I=2 \int_1^2 \left( \left[ (x-1)^2y+\frac{(y+2)^3}{3}\right]_{-x^2+4x-5}^{x^2+4x+6}\right) \ dx$

$I=2 \int_1^2 (x-1)^2 (2x^2+11)+\frac{1}{3}\left((x^2+4x+6+2)^3-(-x^2+4x-5+2)^3 \ dx$

$I=\frac{32027}{21} \times 2$

$= 3050.19 \ kg \ m^2$

So the moment of inertia is $3050.19 \ kg \ m^2$ .

All the processes that form mountain ranges are known as

stepan [7]

All Mountains are built through a general process called "deformation" of the crust of the Earth. Deformation is a fancy word which could also mean "folding". An example of this kind of folding comes from the process described below.

When two sections of the Earth's lithosphere collide, rather than being subducted, where one slab of lithosphere is forced down to deeper regions of the Earth, the slabs pile into each other, causing one or both slabs can fold up like an accordion. This process elevates the crust, folds and deforms it heavily, and produces a mountain range. Mountain building and mantle subduction usually go together.

A grape is thrown straight up in the air. If it was thrown at 2 m/s, how high will it go in the air?

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Answer: Height is 0.204 m

Explanation:

At the highest point, it is called the maximum height.

• From third newton's equation of motion:

${ \rm{ {v}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2gs}}$

• At maximum height, v is zero

• u is initial speed

• g is -9.8 m/s²

• s is the height

${ \rm{0 {}^{2} = {2}^{2} - (2 \times 9.8 \times s)}} \\ \\ { \rm{4 = 19.6s}} \\ \\ { \rm{s = 0.204 \: m}}$

Why you do scientists collect multiple trials?

sergiy2304 [10]

"When we do experiments it's a good idea to do multiple trials, that is, do the same experiment lots of times. When we do multiple trials of the same experiment, we can make sure that our results are consistent and not altered by random events. Multiple trials can be done at one time."

Elements from opposite sides of the periodic table tend to form ________.

Ivenika [448]

Ionic compounds is your answer. What happens is one atom donates electron(s) to the other atom, making one positive and the other negative. The opposite atoms attract, forming an ionic bond.

Hope this helps! :)
