Define the relationship between refraction and reflection

Physics

ElenaW [278]4 years ago

Reflection and refraction are two different phenomenons. In case of reflection, wave bounces back into the same medium after incident with the interface of two mediums. Reflection will happen if surface is shiny as well as smooth. If surface is irregular, one will get diffused reflection. Refraction means bending of light when waves travel from one medium to another

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

(a). Energy is 64,680 J

(b) velocity is 51.43m/s

(c) velocity in mph is 115.0mph

Explanation:

(a).

The potential energy P of the payload of mass m is at a vertical distance h is  

P =mgh.

Therefore, for the payload of mass m = 50kg at a vertical distance of h = 132 m, the potential energy is

P = (50kg)(9.8m/s^2)(132m)

\boxed{P = 64,680J}

(b).

When the payload reaches the bottom of the shaft, all of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy; therefore,

mgh= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v= \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2*9.8*135}

\boxed{v = 51.43m/s}

(c).

The velocity in mph is

\dfrac{51.43m}{s} * \dfrac{3600s}{hr} * \dfrac{1mile}{1609.34m}

\boxed{v= 115.0mph}

If a 10kg block is at rest on a table and a 1200N force is applied in the eastward direction for 10 seconds, what is the acceler
gavmur [86]

Answer:

a = 120 m/s²

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:

∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)

Known data

Where:

∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m: mass (kg)

a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)

F = 1200N

m = 10 kg

Problem development

We replace the known data in formula (1)

1200 = 10*a

a = 1200/10

a = 120 m/s²
