Answer:

The angle of incidence is the angle formed by the incident ray and the perpendicular to the surface. Together, the angle of incidence and the angle the incident ray makes with the surface form a right angle (90 degrees). The angle of incidence is therefore given by the following expression:

Angle of incidence = 90 degrees - angle ray makes with the surface

In your example

Angle of incidence = 90 degrees - 40 degrees = 50 degrees

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, which is also measured with respect to the perpendicular to the surface, so

Angle of reflection = Angle of incidence = 50 degrees.

When the mass is removed, the length of the cable is found to be l0 = 4.66 m. After the mass is added, the length is remeasured

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

Explanation:

For a linear elastic material Young's modulus is a constant that is given by:

$\gamma=\frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

Here, F is the force exerted on an object under tensio, A is the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the applied force, $\Delta L$ is the amount by which the length of the object changes and $L_0$ is the original length of the object. In this case the force is the weight of the mass:

$F=mg\\F=55kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=539N$

Replacing the given values in Young's modulus formula:

$\gamma=\frac{F/\pi r^2}{(L_1-L_0)/L_0}\\\gamma=\frac{539N/\pi(0.045m)^2}{(5.31m-4.66m)/4.66m}\\\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

A motorcycle at a stoplight takes 4.22 seconds to accelerate 28.0 m/s after the light turns green. what is the acceleration?

stira [4]

Acceleration=velocity/time
acceleration=28/4.22
therefore, acceleration=6.64

How does the size of a planet affected the amount and type of gas in its atmosphere

dalvyx [7]

There are lots of variables that directly and indirectly contribute to the presence of gas on a surface
if the size of a planet is relatively small it will in turn be that of a smaller area which results in the less area to be covered for gas which basically means higher presence
I can go in depth more but I don't think that would be necessary all you need to know is this ...based on the size and gas will in turn be parallel to it's conformity

During the middle of a family picnic, Barry Allen received a message that his friends Bruce and Hal

weeeeeb [17]

The kinematics of the uniform motion and the addition of vectors allow finding the results are:

The Barry's initial trajectory is 94.30 10³ m with n angles of θ = 138.8º

The return trajectory and speed are v = 785.9 m / s, with an angle of 41.2º to the South of the East

Vectors are quantities that have modulus and direction, so they must be added using vector algebra.

A simple method to perform this addition in the algebraic method which has several parts:

Vectors are decomposed into a coordinate system

The components are added

The resulting vector is constructed

Indicate that Barry's velocity is constant, let's find using the uniform motion thatthe distance traveled in ad case

v = $\frac{\Delta d}{t}$

Δd = v t

Where v is the average velocity, Δd the displacement and t the time

We look for the first distance traveled at speed v₁ = 600 m / s for a time

t₁ = 2 min = 120 s

Δd₁ = v₁ t₁

Δd₁ = 600 120

Δd₁ = 72 10³ m

Now we look for the second distance traveled for the velocity v₂ = 400 m/s

time t₂ = 1 min = 60 s

Δd₂ = v₂ t₂

Δd₂ = 400 60

Δd₂ = 24 103 m

In the attached we can see a diagram of the different Barry trajectories and the coordinate system for the decomposition,

We must be careful all the angles must be measured counterclockwise from the positive side of the axis ax (East)

Let's use trigonometry for each distance

Route 1

cos (180 -35) = $\frac{x_1}{\Delta d_1}$

sin 145 = $\frac{y_1}{\Delta d1}$

x₁ = Δd₁ cos 125

y₁ = Δd₁ sin 125

x₁ = 72 103 are 145 = -58.98 103 m

y₁ = 72 103 sin 155 = 41.30 10³ m

Route 2

cos (90+ 30) = $\frac{x_2}{\Delta d_2}$

sin (120) = $\frac{y_2}{\Delta d_2}$

x₂ = Δd₂ cos 120

y₂ = Δd₂ sin 120

x₂ = 24 103 cos 120 = -12 10³ m

y₂ = 24 103 sin 120 = 20,78 10³ m

The component of the resultant vector are

Rₓ = x₁ + x₂

R_y = y₁ + y₂

Rx = - (58.98 + 12) 10³ = -70.98 10³ m

Ry = (41.30 + 20.78) 10³ m = 62.08 10³ m

We construct the resulting vector

Let's use the Pythagoras' Theorem for the module

R = $\sqrt{R_x^2 +R_y^2}$

R = $\sqrt{70.98^2 + 62.08^2}$ 10³

R = 94.30 10³ m

We use trigonometry for the angle

tan θ ’= $\frac{R_y}{R_x}$

θ '= tan⁻¹ $\frac{R_y}{R_x}$

θ '= tan⁻¹ $\frac{62.08}{70.98}$

θ ’= 41.2º

Since the offset in the x axis is negative and the displacement in the y axis is positive, this vector is in the second quadrant, to be written with respect to the positive side of the x axis in a counterclockwise direction

θ = 180 - θ'

θ = 180 -41.2

θ = 138.8º

Finally, let's calculate the speed for the way back, since the total of the trajectory must be 5 min and on the outward trip I spend 3 min, for the return there is a time of t₃ = 2 min = 120 s.

The average speed of the trip should be

v = $\frac{\Delta R}{t_3}$
