Answer:
<h2>a) 50°</h2><h2>b) 40°</h2>
Explanation:
Check the complete diagram n the attachment below
a) The angle of incidence on a plane surface is the angle between the incidence ray and the normal ray acting on a plane surface. The normal ray is the ray perpendicular to the surface while the incidence ray is the ray striking a plane surface.
According to the diagram, the angle of reflection r₂ on M₂ is 90°-g where g is the angle of glance.
Given angle of glance on M₂ to be 40°, r₂ = 90-40 = 50°
According the second law of reflection, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection, therefore i₂ = r₂ = 50° (on M₂)
Also ∠OO₂O₁ = ∠OO₁O₂ = 40° (angle of glance on M₁){alternate angle}
The angle of incidence on M₁ = 90° - 40° = 50°
b) The angle of incidence to the surface of M₁(∠PO₁A)will be the angle of glance on M₁ which is equivalent to 40°
In this question a lot of information's are provided. Among the information's provided one information and that is the time of 4 seconds is not required for calculating the answer. Only the other information's are required.
Mass of the block that is sliding = 5.00 kg
Distance for which the block slides = 10 meters/second
Then we already know that
Momentum = Mass * Distance travelled
= (5 * 10) Kg m/s
= 50 kg m/s
So the magnitude of the blocks momentum is 50 kg m/s. The correct option among all the given options is option "b".
