(c) What would the angle of reflection be if the incident ray

Physics
1 answer:
kvasek [131]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

So, if a wave hits a mirror at an angle of 36°, it will be reflected at the same angle (36°). ... An incident ray of light hits a plane mirror at an angle and is reflected back off it. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Both angles are measured from the normal.

What is the frequency of an X-ray with wavelength 0.13 nm ? Assume that the wave travels in free space. Express your answer to t
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Frequency, f=2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of the x-rays, \lambda=0.13\ nm=0.13\times 10^{-9}\ m

We need to find the frequency of an x-ray. All electromagnetic wave travel with a speed of light. It is given by the formula as :

c=f\lambda

f is the frequency

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.13\times 10^{-9}}\\\\f=2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz

So, the frequency of an x-ray is 2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz. Hence, this is the required solution.

An 12 N force is applied to a 1 kg object. What is the magnitude of the objects acceleration?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

a=12 m/s²

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of force.

This can be summarized as: F=ma, where m is the mass of the object on which force F acts. a is the acceleration due to the force applied.

12N= 1kg×a

a=12N/1kg

a=12m/s²

Why does the number of dwarf planets recognized by astronomers in the solar system sometimes increase?
gregori [183]
Because sometimes it happens that they discover a dwarf planet
that nobody ever knew about before.  When that happens, they
ADD the new one to the list of known dwarf planets, and then the
total number of dwarf planets on the list increases by 1 .

In the mobile m1=0.42 kg and m2=0.47 kg. What must the unknown distance to the nearest tenth of a cm be if the masses are to be
LuckyWell [14K]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Explanation:

From he question we are told that

    The first mass is   m_1 = 0.42kg

      The second mass is  m_2 = 0.47kg

From the question we can see that at equilibrium the moment about the point where the  string  holding the bar (where m_1 \ and \ m_2 are hanged ) is attached is zero  

   Therefore we can say that

               m_1 * 15cm  = m_2 * xcm

Making x the subject of the formula  

                x = \frac{m_1 * 15}{m_2}

                    = \frac{0.42 * 15}{0.47}

                     x = 13.4 cm

Looking at the diagram we can see that the tension T  on the string holding the bar where m_1  \  and   \ m_2 are hanged  is as a result of the masses (m_1 + m_2)

     Also at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where (m_1 +m_2)  and  m_3 are hanged ) is attached is  zero

   So basically

          (m_1 + m_2 ) * 20  = m_3 * 30

          (0.42 + 0.47)  * 20 = 30 * m_3

 Making m_3 subject

          m_3 = \frac{(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 }{30 }

                m_3 = 0.59 kg

The emf induced in a coil that is rotating in a magnetic field will be at a maximum at which moment?
adelina 88 [10]
TLDR: It will reach a maximum when the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to one another.

This is an example that requires you to investigate the properties that occur in electric generators; for example, hydroelectric dams produce electricity by forcing a coil to rotate in the presence of a magnetic field, generating a current.

To solve this, we need to understand the principles of electromotive forces and Lenz’ Law; changing the magnetic field conditions around anything with this potential causes an induced current in the wire that resists this change. This principle is known as Lenz’ Law, and can be described using equations that are specific to certain situations. For this, we need the two that are useful here:

e = -N•dI/dt; dI = ABcos(theta)

where “e” describes the electromotive force, “N” describes the number of loops in the coil, “dI” describes the change in magnetic flux, “dt” describes the change in time, “A” describes the area vector of the coil (this points perpendicular to the loops, intersecting it in open space), “B” describes the magnetic field vector, and theta describes the angle between the area and mag vectors.

Because the number of loops remains constant and the speed of the coils rotation isn’t up for us to decide, the only thing that can increase or decrease the emf is the change in magnetic flux, represented by ABcos(theta). The magnetic field and the size of the loop are also constant, so all we can control is the angle between the two. To generate the largest emf, we need cos(theta) to be as large as possible. To do this, we can search a graph of cos(theta) for the highest point. This occurs when theta equals 90 degrees, or a right angle. Therefore, the electromotive potential will reach a maximum when the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to one another.

Hope this helps!
