Discribe the law of reflection

Physics
1 answer:
aniked [119]3 years ago
8 0

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.

An electron moving parallel to a uniform electric field increases its speed from 2.0 × 10^7 m/s to 4.0 × 10^7 m/s over a distanc
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

The speed increased from 2.0 * 10^7 m/s to 4.0 * 10^7 m/s over a 1.2 cm distance.

Let us find the acceleration:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

(4.0 * 10^7)^2 = (2.0 * 10^7)^2 + 2 * a * 0.012\\\\(4.0 * 10^7)^2 - (2.0 * 10^7)^2 = 0.024a\\\\1.2 * 10^{15}= 0.024a\\\\a = 1.2 * 10^{15} / 0.024\\\\a = 5 * 10^{16} m/s^2

Electric force is given as the product of charge and electric field strength:

F = qE

where q = electric charge

E = Electric field strength

Force is generally given as:

F = ma

where m = mass

a = acceleration

Equating both:

ma = qE

E = ma / q

For an electron:

m = 9.11 × 10^{-31} kg

q = 1.602 × 10^{-19} C

Therefore, the electric field strength of the electron is:

E = \frac{9.11 * 10^{-31} * 5 * 10^{16}}{1.602 * 10^{-19}} \\\\E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C

A ship sails west for 100km and then south for 100km. What is the displacement?
ale4655 [162]

\sf \vec{w}=100

  • \sf \vec{s}=100

For displacement apply Pythagorean theorem

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 100^2+100^2

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 10000+10000

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 20000

Please help..................​
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

PART A

In a solid

The attractive forces keep the particles together tightly enough so that the particles do not move past each other. ... In the solid the particles vibrate in place. Liquid – In a liquid, particles will flow or glide over one another, but stay toward the bottom of the container.

In a liquid

Particles are quite close together and move with random motion throughout the container. Particles move rapidly in all directions but collide with each other more frequently than in gases due to shorter distances between particles.

A gas

The particles move rapidly in all directions, frequently colliding with each other and the side of the container. With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster.

PART B

The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces. The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.

Explanation:

GOOD LUCK!!! :)

Why is it difficult to measure the volume of gas
MrRissso [65]
It's difficult to measure that because it's hard to make sure it is only a uniform layer of gas in whatever you're measuring it in
