"Suppose a horizontal laser beam is reflected off a plane mirror that is perfectly smooth and flat. At first, the mirror is angl

ed upward at 4 degrees, measured from the vertical. Then, the angle of the mirror is changed to 6 degrees upward. How would the angle formed by the incoming laser beam and the reflected laser beam change

Answer:

The angle in between changed from 8 to 12 degrees

Explanation:

Solution:-

Angle between the incoming and reflected beam is always twice that of the inclination of the mirror.

Initially, Inclination angle θ = 4 degrees

             Angle between incident and reflected beam is twice of the inclination of mirror. Hence,

            Φ = 2*θ = 2*4 = 8 degrees.

Change, Inclination angle θ = 6 degrees

             Angle between incident and reflected beam is twice of the inclination of mirror. Hence,

            Φ = 2*θ = 2*6 = 12 degrees.

- The angle formed by the incoming laser beam and the reflected laser beam will change from 8 degrees to 12 degrees.

A windowpane is half a centimeter thick and has an area of 1.0 m2. The temperature difference between the inside and outside sur
polet [3.4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the heat flux rate expressed in energetic terms. The rate of heat flow is the amount of heat that is transferred per unit of time in some material. Mathematically it can be expressed as:

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA}{L} (T_H - T_C)

Where

k = 0.84 J/s⋅m⋅°C (The thermal conductivity of the material)

A = 1m^2 Area

L = 5*10^{-3}m Length

T_H= Temperature of the "hot"reservoir

T_C= Temperature of the "cold"reservoir

Replacing with our values we have that,

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA}{L} (T_H - T_C)

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{(0.84)(1)}{0.005} (15)

\frac{Q}{t} = 2520J/s

Therefore the correct answer is B.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

a = 10.07m/s^2

Their acceleration in meters per second squared is 10.07m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time

a = ∆v/t

Given;

∆v = 50.0miles/hour - 0

∆v = 50.0miles/hours × 1609.344 metres/mile × 1/3600 seconds/hour

∆v = 22.352m/s

t = 2.22 s

So,

Acceleration a = ∆v/t = 22.352m/s ÷ 2.22s

a = 10.07m/s^2

Their acceleration in meters per second squared is 10.07m/s^2

When listening to tuning forks of frequency 256 Hz and 260 Hz, one hears the following number of beats per second. (A) 0 (B) 2 (
Degger [83]

Answer:

(C) 4 beats per second.

Explanation:

As we know that the no of beats can be calculated as.

No. of beats is equal to difference in the tuning forks frequencies.

So,

n= \nu _{1}- \nu _{2}.

Substitute the values of frequencies of 2 tuning forks in the above equation.

n=(260 Hz-256 Hz)\\n=4

Therefore the number of beats per second will be hear by the observer is 4 beats per second.
