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.

Un objeto de 200 gramos está amarrado del extremo de una cuerda y gira describiendo un círculo horizontal de 1.20 m de radio a r

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

La tensión es 85.3 N.

Explanation:

Cuando el objeto gira en dirección horizontal, la sumatoria de fuerzas se puede calcular usando la segunda ley de Newton:

$\Sigma F_{x} =ma_{c}$

$T = ma_{c}$

Dado que el movimiento es horizontal, el peso (que está en el eje y) no contribuye en la sumatoria de fuerzas en el eje x. Por lo que la única fuerza actuando sobre el objeto en la dirección del movimiento es la tensión.

En donde:

m: es la masa del objeto = 200 g = 0.200 kg

$a_{c}$ : es la aceleración centrípeta

La aceleración centrípeta viene dada por:

$a_{c} = \omega^{2} r$

En donde:

ω: es la velocidad angular del objeto = 3 rev/s

r: es el radio = 1.20 m

Entonces, la tensión es:

$T = m\omega^{2} r = 0.200 kg(3\frac{rev}{s}*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})^{2}*1.20 m = 85.3 N$

Por lo tanto, la tensión es 85.3 N.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Gravitational force

Explanation:

If two spheres have equal densities and they are subject only to their mutual gravitational attraction. We need to say that the quantities that must have the same magnitude for both spheres. So, the correct option is (E) i.e. gravitational force.

It is because of Newton's third law of motion. It states that the force due to object 1 to object 2 is same as force due to object 2 to object 1. The two forces act in opposite direction.

Hence, the correct option is (E) "Gravitational force".

A trombone has a variable length. When a musician blows into the mouthpiece and causes air in the tube of the horn to vibrate, t

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The frequency increases.

Explanation:

When the Musician draws the slide in the length of the horn gets shorter, which causes a decrease in the wavelength. A decrease in the wave length results in an increase in frequency.

Note:

The diameter of the horn has an effect on frequency, so a wider horn is effectively a long horn - open end correction ( distance between the the antinode and the open end of a pipe).

Frequency also depends on how hard the musician blows the trombone. The musician can change the frequency with the lip pressure being applied.

julia-pushkina [17]

These are the characteristics that apply:

- In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme:

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)
