Mathematical equations can express dependencies between things, for example the relationship between the speed and acceleration. This can be summarized under "scientific laws".

More complex laws can represent models, for example a model of a human brain on a neuronal level could be based on complex mathematical equations.

A model and a law can be expressed as mathematical equations.

A model could be an illustration of a concept, associate degree object or maybe a method or a system that's wont to describe and make a case for phenomena that can't be practiced directly. Models are central to what scientists do, each in their analysis also as communicating their explanations. A scientific law could be a statement supported by continual experimental observations describing the facts of the universe. For example, Newton's laws of motion have complex mathematical equations.

A light ray travels in the +x direction and strikes a slanted surface with an angle of 62° between its normal and the ty axis. T

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

- 0.6

Explanation:

Given that angle between normal y axis is 62° so angle between normal

and x axis will be 90- 62 = 28 °. Since incident ray is along x axis , 28 ° will be the angle between incident ray and normal ie it will be angle of incidence

Angle of incidence = 28 °

angle of reflection = 28°

Angle between incident ray and reflected ray = 28 + 28 = 56 °

Angle between x axis and reflected ray = 56 °

x component of reflected ray

= - cos 56 ( it will be towards - ve x axis. )

At a given instant an object has an angular velocity. It also has an angular acceleration due to torques that are present. There

katen-ka-za [31]

a) Constant

b) Constant

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the equivalent of Newton's second law of motion of rotational motion, which can be written as:

$\tau_{net} = I \alpha$ (1)

where

$\tau_{net}$ is the net torque acting on the object in rotation

I is the moment of inertia of the object

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

The angular acceleration is the rate of change of the angular velocity, so it can be written as

$\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta \omega$ is the change in angular velocity

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$\tau_{net}=I\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

In this problem, we are told that at a given instant, the object has an angular acceleration due to the presence of torques, so there is a non-zero change in angular velocity.

Then, additional torques are applied, so that the net torque suddenly equal to zero, so:

$\tau_{net}=0$

From the previous equation, this implies that

$\Delta \omega =0$

Which means that the angular velocity at that instant does not change anymore.

In this second case instead, all the torques are suddenly removed.

This also means that the net torque becomes zero as well:

$\tau_{net}=0$

Therefore, this means that

$\Delta \omega =0$

So also in this case, there is no change in angular velocity: this means that the angular velocity of the object will remain constant.

So cases (a) and (b) are basically the same situation, as the net torque is zero in both cases, so the object acts in the same way.

30. The length of mercury thread when it is at 0°C, 100°C and at an unknown temperature 0 is 25mm, 225mm and 175mm respectively.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

75°C

Explanation:

175−25/225−25=x−0/100−0

150/200=x/100

x=150×100/200

= 75°C
