At what angle does the beam of light fall into the mirror if the beam is reflected

Physics
1 answer:
erma4kov [3.2K]3 years ago
6 0

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 10 Kg dog is running with a speed of 5.0 m/s what is the minimum work required to stop the dog
ra1l [238]

Answer:

25J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the dog  = 10kg

Speed of the dog  = 5m/s

Unknown:

The minimum energy required to stop the dog  = ?

Solution:

The dog is moving with a kinetic energy and to stop the dog, an equal amount of kinetic energy generated must be applied to the dog.

 To find the kinetic energy;

        K.E  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

Now insert the parameters and solve;

      K.E  =  \frac{1}{2}  x 10 x 5  = 25J

There's an electric field in some region of space that doesn't change with position. An electron starts moving with a speed of 2
tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

speed of Electron u=2\times 10^7\ m/s

final speed of Electron v=4\times 10^7\ m/s

distance traveled d=1.2\ cm

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=Final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

(4\times 10^7)^2-(2\times 10^7)^2=2\times a\times 1.2\times 10^{-2}

a=5\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

acceleration is given by a=\frac{qE}{m}

where q=charge of electron

m=mass of electron

E=electric Field strength

5\times 10^{16}=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\cdot E}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

E=248.3\ kN/C

The vertical component of the projectile motion of an object depends on which of these? initial velocity or angel of trajectory
SVEN [57.7K]
It depends on both of them.

In fact, the projectile begins its motion with an initial velocity of v_0 and an angle of \alpha. On the y-axis (vertical direction), it is an accelerated motion with acceleration equal to -g (gravitational acceleration). The vertical velocity of the projectile at any time t is given by
v_y (t) = v_0 sin \alpha + gt
and as it can be seen, this depends on both initial velocity and angle.
