Why is the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front zero?​

Answer:

The contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of the wave front is zero because of something known as the Obliquity Factor. It is assumed that the amplitude of the secondary wavelets is not independent of the direction of propagation, Sources: byju's.com

According to the Voigt and Kirchhoff's law for wavelets, the contribution of a wavelet in any direction making an angle x with the normal to the wavelet is proportional to {1+cos(x)/2)}

For wavelet lying on the back of secondary wavefront,

  • x = 180°

→ So, the proportional factor:

→ {1+cos(180°)/2}

→ (1-1/2)

→ (0/2)

→ 0

That's why the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front is zero

An object has a kinetic energy of 275 j and the momentum of magnitude of 25.0 kg m/s. find the speed and mass of the object
lyudmila [28]
<span>Recall formula for Kinetic energy is: KE = 1/2mv^2, where KE = 275J and momentum (which is 25.0 kg m/s) = m*v Therefore substitute for KE and mv in the equation above to get speed => 275 = 0.5 * 25 * v v = 275/12.5 v = 22m/s to get mass m, recall momentum = m*v => 25= 22*m m= 25/22 = 1.3663kg</span>

Karla Ayala pulls a sled on an icy road (dangerous!). Because of Karla's pull, the tension force is 151 N, and the rope makes a
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

W = 1418.9 J = 1.418 KJ

Explanation:

In order to find the work done by the pull force applied by Karla, we need to can use the formula of work done. This formula tells us that work done on a body is the product of the distance covered by the object with the component of force applied in the direction of that displacement:

W = F.d

W = Fd Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force = 151 N

d = distance covered = 10 m

θ = Angle with horizontal = 20°

Therefore,

W = (151 N)(10 m) Cos 20°

<u>W = 1418.9 J = 1.418 KJ</u>

Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at 1.8 m/s . A fourth car traveling east at 4.5 m/s catches up wi
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

v = 1.98\ m/s

Explanation:

consider the mass of each train car be m

m₁ = m₂ = m₃ = m

speed of the three identical train

u₁ = u₂ = u₃ = 1.8 m/s

m₄ = m             u₄ = 4.5 m/s

m₅ = m              u₅ = 0 (initial velocity )

final velocity

v₁ = v₂ = v₃ = v₄ = v₅ = v

using conservation of momentum

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ + m₃u₃ + m₄u₄ + m₅u₅ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃ + m₄v₄ + m₅v₅

m (1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 +4.5) = 5 m v

v = \dfrac{9.9}{5}

v = 1.98\ m/s

If you are given distance and a period of time what can you calculate
Digiron [165]

If you are given distance and a period of time, you can calculate the speed. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60 km/h to the north).
