WASSCE 11. An incident ray is reflected normally by a
plane mirror onto a screen where it forms
a bright spot. The mirror and the screen
are parallel and 1 m apart. If the mirror is
rotated through 5°, calculate the
displacement of the spot.
A. 8.7 cm.
B. 10.0 cm.
C. 15.4 cm.
D. 17.6 cm.

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.

the force represented by vector a is normal force. if the hockey puck is moving to the right, when it is hit with a significant force by the hockey stick the puck will move off in a different direction. correct on edge.
