It would last as long as the applied force continued, or until the accelerating object hit something.
It is because that is how mirrors work, they reflect light, and since we see objects because we are seeing the light these objects reflect, what is reflected back by the mirror is what we see.
I think the correct answer is true. Most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough. Light only reflects to surfaces which has a smooth texture or have a uniform texture on the surface. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).
Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.
Moral of the story: If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.
Answer:
fr = ½ m v₀²/x
Explanation:
This exercise the body must be on a ramp so that a component of the weight is counteracted by the friction force.
The best way to solve this exercise is to use the energy work theorem
W = ΔK
Where work is defined as the product of force by distance
W = fr x cos 180
The angle is because the friction force opposes the movement
Δk =
–K₀
ΔK = 0 - ½ m v₀²
We substitute
- fr x = - ½ m v₀²
fr = ½ m v₀²/x
