Answer:

the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence—θr = θi. The angles are measured relative to the perpendicular to the surface at the point where the ray strikes the surface.

Explanation:

A microscope uses a mirror to reflect light to the specimen under the microscope. ... An astronomical reflecting telescope uses a large parabolic mirror to gather dim light from distant stars. A plane mirror is used to reflect the image to the eyepiece.

As relay runner A enters the 65-ft-long exchange zone with a speed of 30 ft/s, he begins to slow down. He hands the baton to run

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a_a = -3.2 ft/s^2 , a_b = 3.723 ft/s^2

t = 5.909 s

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial velocity of A v_i,a = 30 ft /s

- Initial distance s_o = 0

- Length of the exchange zone s_f = 65 ft

- Time taken t = 2.5 s

Start out by A's velocity as he gets to the end of the exchange zone.

Part a

Runner A decelerates at a uniform rate, so you can use the equation:

s_f = s_o + v_i,a*t + 0.5a_a*t^2

65 = 0 + 30*2.5 + 0.5*a_a*2.5^2

a_a = -20 / 2.5^2

a _a= -3.2 ft/s^2

Runner B accelerates at v_f,a as final velocity at a uniform rate, so you can use the equation:

v_f,b^2 - v_i,b^2 = 2*a_b*s

a_b = (30 -3.2*2.5)^2 /2*65

a_b = 3.723 ft/s^2

Part b

When Runner B should begin running:

t = (v_f,b - v_i,b) / a_b

t = (30 - 3.2*2.5) / 3.723

t = 5.909 s

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be<em> balance force </em>if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be<em> unbalanced force </em>if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to <em>Newton second law of motion </em>, acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

F=ma

a= $\frac{F}{m}$

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.

A jet plane is cruising at 300 m/s when suddenly the pilot turns the engines up to full throttle. After traveling 4.0 km, the je

jenyasd209 [6]

<h2>The answer got is reasonable.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 300 m/s

Acceleration, a = ?

Final velocity, v = 400 m/s

Displacement,s = 4 km = 4000 m

Substituting

v² = u² + 2as

400² = 300² + 2 x a x 4000

a = 8.75 m/s² = 8.8 m/s²

The acceleration is 8.8 m/s²

The answer got is reasonable.
