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

Physics

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 an object is thrown upwards and reaches its maximum height its speed is: a. Greater than the initial
suter [353]

Answer:

Option d

Explanation:

When we throw an object in the upward direction, we provide it with certain initial velocity due to which it covers a certain distance up to the maximum height.

While the object is moving in the upward direction, its velocity keeps on reducing due to the acceleration due to gravity which acts vertically downwards in the opposite direction thus reducing its velocity.

So, the maximum height attained by the object is the point where this upward velocity of the body becomes zero and after that the object starts to fall down.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Power = 21[W]

Explanation:

Initial data:

F = 35[N]

d = 18[m]

In order to solve this problem we must remember the definition of work, which tells us that it is equal to the product of a force for a distance.

Therefore:

Work = W = F*d = 35*18 = 630 [J]

And power is defined as the amount of work performed in a time interval.

Power = Work / time

Time = t = 30[s]

Power = 630/30

Power = 21 [W]

Technician A says that the starter motor used to crank diesel engines can draw up to 400 amps of current. Technician B says that
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: Option A : Technician A

Explanation:

The statement/observation, "that the starter motor used to crank diesel engines can draw up to 400 amps of current" made by Technician A is correct.

A diesel engine uses up to 400+ Amperes of electricity to start up a diesel engine in the ignition chamber of motor engine.

A 1.0 kg copper rod rests on two horizontal rails 1.0 m apart and carries a current of 50 A from one rail to the other.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer

given,

mass of copper rod = 1 kg

horizontal rails = 1 m

Current (I) = 50 A

coefficient of static friction = 0.6

magnetic force acting on a current carrying wire is

           F = B i L

Rod is not necessarily vertical

F_x =i L B_d

F_y= i L B_w

the normal reaction N = mg-F y

static friction       f = μ_s (mg-F y )

horizontal acceleration is zero

F_x-f = 0

iLBd = \mu_s(mg-F_y )

 B_w = B sinθ

 B_d = B cosθ

iLB cosθ= μ_s (mg- iLB sinθ)

B = \dfrac{\mu_smg}{i(cos\theta +\mu_s sin\theta)}

\theta =tan{-1}{\mu_s}

\theta =tan{-1}{0.6}

\theta = 31^0

B = \dfrac{0.6\times 1 \times 9.8}{50(cos31^0 +0.6 sin31^0)}

       B = 0.1 T
