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

A person who climbs up something (e.g., a hill, a ladder, the stairs) from the ground gains potential energy. a person's weight
zhannawk [14.2K]

We are given the following values:

weight w = 240 lb = 1,067.52 N

energy E = 3,000 J

 

The formula for potential energy is:

E = w h

where h is the height the person has to climb, therefore:

h = 3000 / 1067.52

<span>h = 2.81 m</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore he has to climb 2.81 meters</span>

A balloon drifts 140m toward the west in 45s ; then the wind suddenly changes and the balloon flies 90m toward the east in the n
Bogdan [553]

Answer: 140 m

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that motiont is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this motion, the balloon will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:

The<u> trajectory</u> is <u>the path followed by the body, the distance it travelled</u> (is a scalar quantity).  

The displacement is <u>the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position</u> (is a vector quantity).  

So, according to this, the distance the balloon traveled during the first 45 s (its trajectory) is 140 m.

But, if we talk about displacement, we have to draw a straight line between the initial position of the balloon (point 0) to its final position (point 90 m).  Being its displacement 95 m.

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The el
Alborosie

Answer:

I = 4.75 A

Explanation:

To find the current in the wire you use the following relation:

J=\frac{E}{\rho}      (1)

E: electric field E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004

ρ: resistivity of the material = 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters

J: current density

The current density is also given by:

J=\frac{I}{A}        (2)

I: current

A: cross area of the wire = π(d/2)^2

d: diameter of the wire = 0.205 cm = 0.00205 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for the current I:

\frac{I}{A}=\frac{E(t)}{\rho}\\\\I(t)=\frac{AE(t)}{\rho}

Next, you replace for all variables:

I(t)=\frac{\pi (d/2)^2E(t)}{\rho}\\\\I(t)=\frac{\pi(0.00205m/2)^2(0.0004t^2-0.0001t+0.0004)}{2.75*10^{-8}\Omega.m}\\\\I(t)=4.75A

hence, the current in the wire is 4.75A
