Answer:

3. reflected ray makes with a perpendicular line

Explanation:

- The angle of incidence is defined as the angle between the incident ray and the perpendicular to the surface

- The angle of reflection is defined as the angle between the reflected ray and the perpendicular to the surface

According to this second definition, we see that the correct answer that completes the sentence is (3):

The angle of reflection is the angle the 3. reflected ray makes with a perpendicular line to the reflecting surface.

The law of reflection also states that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

A space probe lands on a newly discovered planet. A small canister is released from the probe and falls a distance of 3 m in 0.5

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

24m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Distance S = 3m

Time of fall = 0.5sec

Required

Acceleration due to gravity

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

3 = 0+1/2g(0.5)²

3 = 1/2(0.25)g

3 = 0.125g

g = 3/0.125

g = 24

Hence the value for the acceleration of gravity on this new planet is 24m/s²

What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point midway between them if the top one carries a current of 19.5 A and the bo

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field will be $\large{\dfrac{1.4 \times 10^{-4}}{d}} T$ , '2d' being the distance the wires.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field ( $\large{\overrightarrow{B}}$ ) at a distance ' $r$ ' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current ' $I$ ' is given by

$\large{\overrightarrow{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi}} \int \dfrac{\overrightarrow{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}}$

where ' $\overrightarrow{dl}$ ' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.

Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current ' $I$ ', at a distance ' $d$ ' is given by

$\large{\overrightarrow{B}} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi d}$

According to the figure if ' $I_{t}$ ' be the current carried by the top wire, ' $I_{b}$ ' be the current carried by the bottom wire and ' $2d$ ' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the $\bigotimes$ symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by $\bigodot$ symbol.

Given $\large{I_{t} = 19.5 A}$ and $\large{I_{B} = 12.5 A}$

Therefore, the magnetic field ( $\large{B_{t}}$ ) at 'P' due to the top wire

$B_{t} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{t}}{2 \pi d}$

and the magnetic field ( $\large{B_{b}}$ ) at 'P' due to the bottom wire

$B_{b} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{b}}{2 \pi d}$

Therefore taking the value of $\mu_{0} = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}$ the net magnetic field ( $\large{B_{M}}$ ) at the midway between the wires will be

$\large{B_{M} = \dfrac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \pi d} (I_{t} - I_{b}) = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-7}}{d} = \dfrac{41.4 \times 10 ^{-4}}{d}} T$

How is motion affected by change in mass of an object and forces applied?

densk [106]

Newtons second law says that the acceleration of an object (produced by a net force) is directly proportional to that magnitude of the net force. E.g. F = ma
where F is the net force of an object, m is mass and a is acceleration.
For example, if an object had a large mass, there would have to be more force in order to move it than if it was lighter.
In a linear motion, if you pushed two objects, one slightly larger than the other, with the same force, the acceleration of the smaller object would be bigger than the larger one. So the motion (change in position over time), of the larger object would be seen as lesser than the smaller one (in a situation where both forces are equal).
