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.

A spider twirls a 25 mg fruit fly around in a circle with radius 17.6 cm at the end of a web. If the velocity of the fly is 110
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Fc =  1.7x10^-4 N

Explanation:

Convert everything to proper units:

m = 25mg = 2.5x10^-5 kg

r = 17.6cm = 0.176m

v = 110cm/s = 1.1m/s

the formula for centripetal force is Fc = mv^2 / r

Plug everything and solve for Fc;

fc = (2.5x10^-5)(1.1^2) / 0.176

Fc =  1.7x10^-4 N

What happens when two forces act in the same direction?
solmaris [256]

When two forces act in the same direction, they add together. ... Equal forces acting in opposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the net force is zero.
