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.

the base of a rectangular vessel measure 10m by 18cm. water is poured into a depth of 4cm. (a) what is the pressure on the base?

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a) P =392.4[Pa]; b) F = 706.32[N]

Explanation:

With the input data of the problem we can calculate the area of the tank base

L = length = 10[m]

W = width = 18[cm] = 0.18[m]

A = W * L = 0.18*10

A = 1.8[m^2]

Pressure can be calculated by knowing the density of the water and the height of the water column within the tank which is equal to h:

P = density * g *h

where:

density = 1000[kg/m^3]

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

h = heigth = 4[cm] = 0.04[m]

P = 1000*9.81*0.04

P = 392.4[Pa]

The force can be easily calculated knowing the relationship between pressure and force:

P = F/A

F = P*A

F = 392.4*1.8

F = 706.32[N]

1. Define friction. Name and describe two kinds of friction.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object.

Explanation:

The two types of friction: Static friction and Kinetic friction. Static friction operates between two surfaces that aren't moving relative to each other, while kinetic friction acts between objects in motion.

While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.95 6.95 m/s. The st

qwelly [4]

Answer:

18.1347 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-6.95^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=2.4619\ m$

Total height the ball falls is 2.4619+14.3 = 16.7619 m

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 16.7619+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=18.1347\ m/s$

The speed at which the stone reaches the ground is 18.1347 m/s

The motion of a particle is described by the position function s(t) = 2t - 15t +33t+17,t>0 , where is measured in seconds and

8090 [49]

The time when the particle is at rest is at 1.63 s or 3.36 s.

The velocity is positive at when the time of motion is at $0$ .

The total distance traveled in the first 10 seconds is 847 m.

<h3>When is a particle at rest?</h3>

A particle is at rest when the initial velocity of the particle is zero.

The time when the particle is at rest is calculated as follows;

s(t) = 2t³ - 15t² + 33t + 17

$v = \frac{ds}{dt} = 6t^2 -30t + 33\\\\at \ rest, \ v = 0\\\\6t^2 - 30t + 33 = 0\\\\6(t- \frac{5}{2} )^2- \frac{9}{2} = 0\\\\t = 1.63\ s \ \ or \ 3.36 \ s$
