angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

A truck travels up a hill with a 5.7° incline. The truck has a constant speed of 22 m/s. What is the horizontal component of the

tester [92]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.

To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s

22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx

vx = 21.9 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.
