1. Communication

In early ages people were using letters to communicate between them. Now days instantly we can call one person from anywhere, these are based on optical fiber communication and it is an application of physics.

2. Transportation

We can travel from place to anther place by aeroplane , these technologies are introduced after advancement in physics.

3. Construction

Earlier people used to stay in small houses, now days apartments with many number of storeys are built by considering all the forces coming on the structure.

4. Medical Department

The invention of many equipment increased the health of humans.

5. Weather forecasting

The prediction of weather considering all the available factors, prediction of natural disasters all are application of physics.

Different ____ of light through two separate mediums causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.

Fittoniya [83]

Different speeds of light through two separate media ... and the difference in wavelength caused by the difference ... causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.

AFTER the bend, since the light rays then travel in a different direction, we may also say that the 'velocity' has changed.

A bullet with mass 1.0kg and velocity 180 m/s is brought to rest in 0.02 s by a sandbag.assuming constant acceleration in the sa

kotykmax [81]

Hello
The bullet is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.
The initial velocity is $v_i=180~m/s$ , the final velocity is $v_i=0~m/s$ , and the total time of the motion is $\Delta t=0.02~s$ , so the acceleration is given by
$a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t} = -9000~m/s^2$
where the negative sign means that is a deceleration.
Therefore we can calculate the total distance covered by the bullet in its motion using
$S=v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 180~m/s \cdot 0.02~s + \frac{1}{2}(-9000~m/s^2)(0.02~s)^2=1.8~m$
So, the bullet penetrates the sandbag 1.8 meters.

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a very long string is y 6.0 sin(0.020px 4.0pt), where x and y are expressed in

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

given

y=6.0sin(0.020px + 4.0pt)

the general wave equation moving in the positive directionis

y(x,t) = ymsin(kx -?t)

a) the amplitude is

ym = 6.0cm

we have the angular wave number as

k = 2p /?

? = 2p / 0.020p

=1.0*102cm

the frequency is

f = ?/2p

= 4p/2p

= 2.0 Hz

the wave speed is

v = f?

= (100cm)(2.0Hz)

= 2.0*102cm/s

since the trignometric function is (kx -?t) , sothe wave propagates in th -x direction

the maximum transverse speed is

umax =2pfym

= 2p(2.0Hz)(6.0cm)

= 75cm/s

we have

y(3.5cm ,0.26s) = 6.0cmsin[0.020p(3.5) +4.0p(0.26)]

= -2.0cm
