Answer:

θ₂ = 90° - θ₁

Explanation:

When the light falls on a mirror it bounces back. This is know as reflection. The incident angle is equal to the angle of reflection.

Here, the light strikes the mirror at an angle = θ₁

To find the angle of reflection we first need to understand angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is the angle made between the incident ray and normal. Normal is an imaginary line drawn perpendicular line on the boundary of the mirror.

Since the light strikes the mirror at angle of θ₁, which is the angle between light ray and the mirror.

Angle of incidence = 90° - θ₁.

Thus, angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁

Misha Larkins [42]

Since Alejandro hopes to combine the findings from the collected studies and draw a general conclusion regarding the subject, he is using statistical tool of inference.

There are basically 2 types of statistical tools:

  1. Descriptive statistical tools
  2. Inferential statistical tools

Descriptive tools are used to describe data. They include the use of tables, graphs, measures of dispersion, measures of central tendencies, etc.

Inferential tools are used to deduce conclusions from data. They include measures of significant differences, probability, correlation and regression, etc.

In this case, Alejandro would need to subject the data collected from the 35 studies to inferential statistical analysis tools in order to be able to make relevant conclusions.

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250ft/s. Use the projectile formula h=−16t2+v0t to determine at what time(s), in
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250 ft/s, v₀ = 250 ft/s

The projectile formula is given by :

h=-16t^2+v_ot

We need to find the time(s), in seconds, the arrow is at a height of 500 ft. So,

-16t^2+250t=500

On solving the above quadratic equation, we get the value of t as, t = 2.35 seconds

So, the arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two billiard balls move toward each other on a table. The mass of the number three ball, m1, is 5 g with a velocity of 3 m/s. Th
Stels [109]

This question deals with the law of conservation of momentum, which basically says that the total momentum in a system must stay the same, provided there are no outside forces. Since you were given the mass and velocity of the two objects you can find the momentum (p=mv) of each and then add them together to find the total momentum of the system before they collide. This total momentum must be the same after they collide.  Since you have the mass and velocity of one of the objects after the collision you can find the its momentum after.  Subtract this from the the system total and you will have the momentum of the other object after the collision.  Now that you know the momentum of the other object you can find its velocity using p=mv and its mass from before.

Be careful with the velocities.  They are vectors, so direction matters.  Typically moving to the right is positive (+) and moving to the left is negative (-).  It is not clear from your question which direction the objects are moving before and after the collision.

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

    z= 2.5 \ m

b

   z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Their distance apart is  d =  5.00 \ m

      The  wavelength of each source wave \lambda =  6.0 \ m

Let the distance from source A  where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

              z - (d-z) =  m \lambda

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e  points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m =  0

  so

        z - (5-z) =  0

=>     2 z - 5 =  0

=>     z= 2.5 \ m

Generally the path difference for destructive  interference is

           |z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>         |2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>        |2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}

substituting values

          |2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}

=>      z  =  \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}

So  

      z =  \frac{5 + 3}{2}

      z =  4\ m

and

      z =  \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}

=>   z =  1 \ m

=>    z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )
