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.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Explanation:

Given

mass of person is m

Distance between bridge and river is h

chord has an un-stretched length of $\frac{2h}{3}$

Let spring constant be k

Person will just stop before hitting the river

Conserve energy i.e. Potential Energy of Person is converted in to elastic energy of chord

$mgh=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$x=h-\frac{2h}{3}=\frac{h}{3}$

$mgh=\frac{kh^2}{18}$

$k=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Thus $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

A chunk of ice with a mass of 1.2 kg melts and absorbs 3.33 x 10³J of energy. Which best describes what has happened in this sys

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

- Its entropy increases.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as a 'measure of the amount of energy in a physical system that cannot be used to do work.' It is also employed to denote randomness, disorder, or uncertainty of the arrangement/system. In the given system, the melting of ice denotes the 'increase in entropy' as the amount of energy unavailable to do work increases('absorbs 3.33 x 10³J of energy'). Thus, <u>this signifies that the entropy increases with a rise in temperature as it allows the substance to have greater kinetic energy</u>.

A force is applied to a block sliding along a surface (Figure 2). The magnitude of the force is 15 N, and the horizontal compone

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

$F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2} }$

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

$15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\ F_{y}=14.3 [N]$
