When light (or another wave) bounces back from a surface ?

Physics
1 answer:
topjm [15]4 years ago

Light bounces back due to the phenomenon called reflection. When light incidents on a plane shiny surface like mirror, it travels again in the same medium(medium from which light was incident) with no loss in energy(energy before and after reflection will remain same iff incident surface completely reflects light)

The 20 g bullet is traveling at 400 m/s when it becomes embedded in the 2 -kg stationary block. Determine the distance the block
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The block+bullet system moves 4 m before being stopped by the frictional force.

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of llinear momentum and the work energy theorem, we can obtain this.

According to Newton's second law of motion

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

Momentum before collision = (0.02×400) + 0 (stationary block)

Momentum before collision = 8 kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (2+0.02)v

8 = 2.02v

v = 3.96 m/s.

According to the work-energy theorem,

The kinetic energy of the block+bullet system = work done by Friction to stop the motion of the block+bullet system

Kinetic energy = (1/2)(2.02)(3.96²) = 15.84 J

Work done by the frictional force = F × (distance moved by the force)

F = μmg = 0.2(2.02)(9.8) = 3.96 N

3.96d = 15.84

d = (15.84/3.96) = 4 m
