Answer:

80 angle of reflection!

Explanation:

Because it is a flat, smooth surface it will reflect like that of a normal plane mirror, so the angle of reflection will be equal to that of the angle of incidence!

Hope this helps you understands!

Explain how fossil fuel use in the US makes us vulnerable to the demands of foreign countries.
daser333 [38]

Well the US doesn't naturally have a lot of fossil fuels so we rely on other countries who do have fossil fuels. So if we aren't that friendly with Saudia Arabia (they have a bunch of oil) then they can hike up the prices or cut us off from their oil supply completely which would cripple the US severly. So with that being said, we NEED other countries, and the big question is when will they not NEED us. At any point in which they feel that they don't need us they can just cut us off, which would be bad.

Hope that helps :)

If a wire lies withina magnetic field what must be true for the magnetic field to produce an electric current in the wire
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The magnetic field through the wire must be changing

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf, ε in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux,Φ  through it. This is stated mathematically as ε = dΦ/dt.

Now for the wire, the magnetic flux through it is given by Φ = ABcosθ where A = cross-sectional area of wire, B = magnetic field and θ = angle between A and B.

So, dΦ/dt = dABcosθ/dt

Since A and B are constant,

dΦ/dt = ABdcosθ/dt = -(dθ/dt)ABsinθ

Since dθ/dt implies a change in the angle between A and B, since A is constant, it implies that B must be rotating.

So, <u>for an electric current (or voltage) to be produced in the wire, the magnetic field must be rotating or changing</u>.

A grape is thrown straight up in the air. If it was thrown at 2 m/s, how high will it go in the air?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Answer: <u>Height</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

Explanation:

At the highest point, it is called the maximum height.

• From third newton's equation of motion:

{ \rm{ {v}^{2}  =  {u}^{2}  + 2gs}}

• At maximum height, v is zero

• u is initial speed

• g is -9.8 m/s²

• s is the height

{ \rm{0 {}^{2}  =  {2}^{2}   -  (2 \times 9.8 \times s)}} \\  \\ { \rm{4 = 19.6s}} \\  \\ { \rm{s = 0.204 \: m}}

For a series circuit what is the terminal voltage of a battery or power supply equal to in terms of the potential difference or
trapecia [35]

Answer: V=IR

Explanation: for a series circuit connected to a battery supply, the total emf across the circuit is given as

E = I(R + r) and by expanding, we have that E =IR + It

Where r is the internal resistance of the battery

I is the total current flowing in the circuit

R total load resistance in the circuit.

E is the total emf of the circuit.

The total emf is the sum of 2 separate voltages.

"IR" which is the terminal voltage and "Ir" which is the loss voltage.

The teenila voltage is the voltage flowing in the circuit based on the equivalent resistance of the circuit while the loss voltage is the wasted voltage based on the internal resistance of the battery source.

Does the sun always shine directly overhead at the equator at noon
Nikitich [7]
The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.
