Has anyone done the science project: modeling waves/properties of light?

igor_vitrenko [27]

<h2>MARK BRAINLIEST</h2>

For this assignment, you will develop several models that show how light waves and mechanical waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. For each model, you will write a brief description of the interaction between the wave and the material. You will also compose two <u><em>typewritten</em></u> paragraphs. The first will compare and contrast light waves interacting with different materials. The second will explain why materials with certain properties are well suited for particular functions.

<h2><u>Background Information</u></h2>

A wave is any disturbance that carries energy from one place to another. There are two different types of waves: mechanical and electromagnetic. A mechanical wave carries energy through matter. Energy is transferred through vibrating particles of matter. Examples of mechanical waves include ocean waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. Like a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave can also carry energy through matter. However, unlike a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave does not need particles of matter to carry energy. Examples of electromagnetic waves include microwaves, visible light, X-rays, and radiation from the Sun.

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$

Find the ratio of the diameter of iron to copper wire, if they have the same resistance per unit length (as they might in househ

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The ratio of the diameter of iron to Cu is;

$\frac{d{Fe} }{ d{Cu} } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}$

Explanation:

R=(ρL)/A

R is resistance,
L is length,
A is area,
ρ is resistivity
d is diameter

from the question the two materials have the same resistance per unit length.

$\frac{R}{L}= \frac{p}{A}$

$\frac{R}{L}$ for iron = $\frac{R}{L}$ for copper

This means we can equate ρ/A for both materials.

$\frac{p_{Fe} }{A_{Fe} } =\frac{p_{Cu} }{A_{Cu} }$

re-arranging the equation we have,

$\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }$

$A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

$\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{d^{2}{Fe} }{ d^{2}{Cu} }$

$\frac{d^{2}{Fe} }{ d^{2}{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }$

$\frac{d{Fe} }{ d{Cu} } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}$

A hunter aims at a deer which is 40 yards away. Her cross- bow is at a height of 5ft, and she aims for a spot on the deer 4ft ab

shutvik [7]

Answer:

a) θ₁ = 0.487º , b) t = 0.400 s , x = 11.73 ft

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the projectile launch relationships.

The initial height is I = 5 ft and the final height y = 4 ft

y = y₀ + $v_{oy}$ t - ½ g t²

The distance to the band is x = 40 yard (3 ft / 1 yard) = 120 ft

x = v₀ₓ t

t = x / v₀ₓ

We replace

y –y₀ = v_{oy} x / v₀ₓ - ½ g x² / v₀ₓ²

v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

v₀ₓ = vo cos θ

y –y₀ = x tan θ - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² θ

5-4 = 120 tan θ - ½ 32 120 / (300 2 cos2 θ)

1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 sec² θ

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

Sec² θ = 1 - tan² θ

1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 (1 –tan²θ)

0.0213 tan²θ + 120 tanθ -1.0213 = 0

We change variables

u = tan θ

u² + 5633.8 u - 48.03 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

u = [-5633.8 ±√(5633.8 2 + 4 48.03)] / 2

u = [- 5633.8 ± 5633.82] / 2

u₁ = 0.0085

u₂= -5633.81

u = tan θ

θ = tan⁻¹ u

For u₁

θ₁ = tan⁻¹ 0.0085

θ₁ = 0.487º

For u₂

θ₂ = -89.99º

The launch angle must be 0.487º

b) let's look for the time it takes for the arrow to arrive

x = v₀ₓ t

t = x / v₀ cos θ

t = 120 / (300 cos 0.487)

t = 0.400 s

The deer must be at a distance of

v = 20 mph (5280 ft / 1 mi) (1 h / 3600s) = 29.33 ft / s

x = v t

x = 29.33 0.4

x = 11.73 ft
