Explanation:

The four things that can happen to a light wave when it hits an objects are :

1. Reflection : The bouncing back of light when the light wave strikes on a surface is called reflection of light.

2. Refraction : The bending of light when the light wave moves from one medium to another.

3. Absorption : Absorption is the process in which the light wave do not reflect back. It stays inside the material.

4. Transmission : Transmission of light is the process in which light wave goes continuously straight.

Some other process that are shown by a light wave are polarization, scattering etc.

Anna [14]

Answer: a= 37m

Explanation: V= 15 m/s (Velocity) t= 0.41s (time) formula: a= v/t

15 m/s / 0.41 (15 divided by 0.41) = 36.583m

There are 2 significant digits, 36, you look at the third digit, either round up or down in this case up to 36. a= 37m

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

It have 1.359 joule kinetic energy.

Explanation:

  • Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of any object due to its state of motion.
  • Mathematically kinetic energy can be calculated as:

                                    K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} ...........................equation 1

        where,

           m= mass of object

           v= velocity of that moving object

  • In the above problem;

                     mass= 2500 lbs = 5511.56 kg.

                     velocity= 80mph= \frac{80}{60*60} m/s = 0.0222 m/s.

  • Substituting the values in equation 1, we get;

                                    K.E= \frac{1}{2} * 5511.56 * 0.0222^{2}

                                   K.E= 1.359 joule.
