I could be totally wrong but I believe you must take into account the forces on the object in the vertical direction.

In this case, the object is being pulled by a rope with a tension of 120 N.

The vertical force would therefore be 120 sin(30)

Normally W = [F normal] with no vertical force. However, since there is a vertical force:

W = [F normal] + [120 sin (30)]

(25 kg X 9.8 m/s2) = [F normal] + [120 sin (30)]

245 N - 60 N = [F normal]

185 N = [F normal]

I apologize if this is incorrect as I haven't been in a physics class in over 4 years. Good luck!

If light hits a smooth hard surface at a 35 degree angle at what angle will it reflect of the surface?

By convention angles are measured from the normal to the reflecting surface. The angle of incidence, 35 degrees, is equal to the angle of reflection. In this case 35 degrees. The answer is 35 degrees.


What will the angle of reflection be when the angle of incidence is 80 degress?

80 degrees - on the other side of the normal (perpendicular) to the reflecting surface.


What is a surface normal?

There is no such expression. The normal to a surface, at a given point is the radius of curvature of the surface, at that point.


What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 45 degrees with the mirror surface?

The law of reflection: When a ray of light reflects off a mirror, the angle of the incidence ray is equal to the angle of the reflection ray. Therefore, an incidence ray of 45 degrees will have a reflection ray of 45 degrees. As both rays are equal, either side of the normal line, then adding both angles equals 45 + 45 = 90 degrees. The normal line is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror.


What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface?

If the ray hits the mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface, the complementary angle that the ray makes with the normal (perpendicular) to the mirror at the point of incidence is (90 - 30) = 60 degrees and since angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection in a plane mirror, the angle of reflection is 60 degrees.

A ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30-degrees with the mirror surfaceWhat will be the angle of reflection?

The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. It will be at 30o to the surface of the mirror (from the opposite edge) ^ This answer is not correct for SURFACE, but is correct for RELATIVE ^


Relationship between high specific heat and surface tension?

When water is heated, that energy can be given to the hydrogen bonds, keeping the water cool. So, water has a high specific heat because it takes a lot of energy to heat it up. Surface tension is a result of hydrogen bonds holding the surface molecules together tightly. So the relationship between water's high specific heat and surface tension is that hydrogen bonds are responsible for both of them. If hydrogen didn't have these bonds, water's specific heat would be normal, and its surface tension negligable.

What is the effect of centrifugal tension in belt drive?

Because of centrifugal force tension on both side will be increased but at the same time normal reaction force in between belt and pulley surface will goes down so frictional tension will be decrease and ultimately power transmission efficiency will decrease.


What will the angle of reflection be when the angle of incidence is 80 degress?

80 degrees - on the other side of the normal (perpendicular) to the reflecting surface.


What is the angle between the incident wavefront and the normal to the reflecting surface?

It's called the angle of reflection. 38 degrees. The angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 19 degrees + 19 degrees = 38 degrees. The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are measured with respect to the surface normal, or a line drawn perpendicular with the surface the light is reflecting off of.


Are both normal and reverse faults caused by tension?

No, Because Reverse fault is caused by compression and a normal fault is caused by tension.
