sergey [27]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Refracted rays travel through a boundary into a new medium.

Explanation:

Refracted rays travel through a boundary into a new medium. is only true for refraction.

The angle of incidence is the same for angle of refraction, is not true for refraction. Refraction follows Snell's law, states that ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction and the sine of the angle of incidence is always constant and equivalent to the ratio of phase velocities of the two mediums it is passing through.

Refracted rays change direction and go back to the original medium is false for refraction however, it is true for reflection.

A common pickup for an electric guitar consists of a coil of wire around a small permanent magnet, as described in Figure 25.5.
Orlov [11]
Guitar pickups are tiny coils with magnets inside them and they work via  the principal of electromagnetic inductance. The metal strings vibrate within the magnetic field of the pickup which generates an electrical current. Since nylon is not a metal, it will not cause <span>fluctuations in that magnetic field. Hope this answer helps.</span>

Baseball player swings and hits a pop fly straight up in the air to the catcher. the height of the baseball in meters t seconds
andre [41]
The height at time t is given by
h(t) = -4.91t² + 34.3t + 1

When the ball reaches maximum height, its derivative, h'(t) = 0.
That is,
-2(4.91)t+34.3 = 0
-9.82t + 34.3 = 0
t = 3.4929 s

Note that h''(t) = -9.82 (negative) which confirms that h will be maximum.

The maximum height is
hmax = -4.91(3.4929)² + 34.3(3.4929) + 1
          = 60.903 m

Answer:
The ball attains maximum height in 3.5 s (nearest tenth).
The ball attains a maximum height of 60.9 m (nearest tenth)

In the northern hemisphere planetary winds deflect to the
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Planetary are deflected to right due to Coriolis effect.

Explanation:

   The term Coriolis effect is defined as an effect in which the rotating object experience a force called as coriolis force which acts perpendicular to the axis of rotation and direction of motion. The effect talks about how the moving objects like ocean currents, wind are deflected due to the rotation of earth.

      Winds and ocean currents are strongly affect by this effect.

A box rests on the (horizontal) back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface on which it
vredina [299]

Answer:

The distance is 11 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Friction coefficient = 0.24

Time = 3.0 s

Initial velocity = 0

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using newton's second law

F = ma...(I)

Using formula of friction force

F= \mu m g....(II)

Put the value of F in the equation (II) from equation (I)

ma=\mu mg....(III)

a = \mu g

Put the value in the equation (III)

a=0.24\times9.8

a=2.352\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the distance,

Using equation of motion

s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}2.352\times(3.0)^2

s=10.584\ m\ approx\ 11\ m

Hence, The distance is 11 m.
