An example of vector quantity thats not a force

1 answer:

6 0

Examples of such quantities include distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, force, mass, momentum, energy, work, power, etc. All these quantities can by divided into two categories - vectors and scalars. A vector quantity is a quantity that is fully described by both magnitude and direction.

A diver shines an underwater searchlight at the surface of a pond (n = 1.33). At what angle (relative to the surface) will the l

allsm [11]

Answer:

41.2°

Explanation:

Total internal reflection is the reflection of the incident ray at the interface between two media in which one of the media has a lower refractive index than the other. It occurs when the angle of incidence in the denser medium exceeds the critical angle.

The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium when the angle of incidence in the less dense medium is 90°.

Since

n= 1/sin C

C= sin^-(1/n)

C= sin^-(1/1.33)

C= 48.8°

Hence angle of incidence= 90-48.8 = 41.2°

A 0.750 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 17.5 N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wi

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

$A = 0.081 \ m$

The value is $u = 0.2569 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass is $m = 0.750 \ kg$

The spring constant is $k = 17.5 \ N/m$

The instantaneous speed is $v = 39.0 \ cm/s= 0.39 \ m/s$

The position consider is x = 0.750A meters from equilibrium point

Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that

The kinetic energy induced by the hammer = The energy stored in the spring

$\frac{1}{2} * m * v^2 = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2$

Here a is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations

=> $A = \sqrt{\frac{m * v^ 2 }{ k} }$

=> $A = \sqrt{\frac{0.750 * 0.39 ^ 2 }{17.5} }$

=> $A = 0.081 \ m$

Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that

The kinetic energy by the hammer = The energy stored in the spring at the point considered + The kinetic energy at the considered point

$\frac{1}{2} * m * v^2 = \frac{1}{2} * k x^2 + \frac{1}{2} * m * u^2$

=> $\frac{1}{2} * 0.750 * 0.39^2 = \frac{1}{2} * 17.5* 0.750(0.081 )^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.750 * u^2$

=> $u = 0.2569 \ m/s$

True or false? All waves need a medium in order to travel

Art [367]

That's false. Mechanical waves (like sound and ocean waves) do
need a medium to travel in, but electromagnetic waves (like radio
and light) don't.
