Answer:

42 degrees, virtual image, same size as the object (26 cm)

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that:

- When a ray of light is incident on a flat surface (such as the plane mirror), the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

So, since in this case the angle of incidence is 42 degrees, the angle of reflection is also 42 degrees.

Moreover, the image formed by a plane mirror is always:

- Virtual (on the same side as the object)

- The same size as the object

So in this case, since the object's size is 26 cm, the image's size is also 26 cm.

irga5000 [103]

The correct option is d)greater input distance and a smaller force

Why?

We must remember that while a pulley has more rope sections, the force requiered to lift the load will be smaller, but the input distance required to lift the load will be greater.

Hence, for the problem, the correct option is d)greater input distance and a smaller force.

Have a nice day!

A 15.0 kg load of bricks hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a small, frictionles pulley. A 28.0 kg counterweight is s
Talja [164]

Answer:

A) The free body diagrams for both the load of bricks and the counterweight are attached.

B) a = 2.96 m/s²

Explanation:

A)

The free body diagrams for both the load of bricks and the counterweight are attached.

B)

The acceleration of upward acceleration of the load of bricks is given by the following formula:

a = g(m₁ - m₂)/(m₁ + m₂)

where,

a = upward acceleration of load of bricks = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

m₁ = heavier mass = mass of counterweight = 28 kg

m₂ = lighter mass = mass of load of bricks = 15 kg

Therefore, using these values in equation, we get:

a = (9.8 m/s²)(28 kg - 15 kg)/(28 kg + 15 kg)

<u>a = 2.96 m/s²</u>

A farm hand does 972 J of work pulling an empty hay wagon along level ground with a force of 310 N [23° below the horizontal]. T
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Option d)

Solution:

As per the question:

Work done by farm hand, W_{FH} = 972J

Force exerted, F' = 310 N

Angle, \theta = 23^{\circ}

Now,

The component of force acting horizontally is F'cos\theta

Also, we know that the work done is the dot or scalar product of force and the displacement in the direction of the force acting on an object.

Thus

W_{FH} = \vec{F'}.\vec{d}

972 = 310\times dcos23^{\circ}

d = 3.406 m = 3.4 m
