Answer:67^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

Ray of light incident on plane making an angle of 23^{\circ} with normal

Thus incident angle i=23^{\circ}

So according to the law of incidence is equal to angle of reflection

\angle i=\angle r

thus \angle r=23^{\circ}

and angle between mirror and reflected ray =90^{\circ}-23^{\circ}

=67^{\circ}

KIM [24]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy does not change if the value of the mass is changed. That is, remain the same

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of a spring-mass system is equal to the elastic potential energy where the object is at the amplitude of the motion. That is:

E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2       (1)

k: spring constant

A: amplitude of the motion = 2.0cm

As you can notice in the equation (1), the total mechanical energy of the system does not depend of the mass of the object. It only depends of the amplitude A and the spring constant.

Hence, if you use a mass of 0.40kg the total mechanical energy is the same as the obtained with a mas 0.20kg

Remain the same

A more realistic car would cause the wheels to spin in a manner that would result in the ground pushing it forward with a consta
-Dominant- [34]

The car would go from  zero to 58.0 mph in 2.6 sec.

Since the force on the car is constant, therefore the acceleration of the car would also be constant.

Now for constant acceleration we can use the equation of motion

Using first equation of motion to calculate the acceleration of the car

v=u+at

29=0+a×1.30       ...... Eq. (1)

Again using the first equation of motion

58=0+a*t             ....... Eq. (2)

Dividing eq. (2) with equation 1

t=2×1.3

t=2.6 sec

Alla [95]

Answer:

14.4 m/s

Explanation:

mass of Anna (Ma) = 68 kg

speed of Anna (Va) = 17 m/s

mass of SandraDay (Ms) = 76 kg

speed of SandraDay (Vs) = 12 m/s

We can find their speed (V) immediately after collision from the conservation of momentum where

(Ma x Va) + (Ms + Vs) = (Ma + Ms) x V

where V = speed immediately after collision

(68 x 17) + (76 + 12) = (68 + 76) x V

2068 = 144 V

V = 2068 / 144 = 14.4 m/s

A pump lifts water from a lake to a large tank 20 m above the lake. How much work against gravity does the pump do as it transfe
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

980 kJ

Explanation:

Work = change in energy

W = mgh

W = (1000 kg/m³ × 5.0 m³) (9.8 m/s²) (20 m)

W = 980,000 J

W = 980 kJ

The pump does 980 kJ of work.
