<u>Answer:</u> the correct answer is it will decrease in speed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 2 types of waves:

1. Longitudinal waves: These waves are the waves where the particles of the medium propagates in the direction of the wave. These waves requires a medium to travel. For Example: Sound Waves.

2. Transverse wave: These waves are the waves where the particles of the medium propagates perpendicular to the direction of the wave. These waves does not require a medium to travel. They can travel in vacuum also. For Example: Light waves.

Speed of light wave is constant in the vacuum which is 3\times 10^8m/s but its speed decreases as it enters a medium. And, here the light is entering a solid having certain refractive index, so the speed would decrease.

Hence, the correct answer is it will decrease in speed.

Answer:

Impulse = 322.5[kg*m/s], the answer is D

Explanation:

This method  it is based on the principle of momentum and the amount of movement; and  used to solve problems involving strength, mass, speed and time.

If units of the SI are used, the magnitude of the impulse of a force is expressed in N * s. however, when remembering the definition of the newton.

N*S=(kg*m/s^{2} )*s = kg*m/s

Now replacing the values on the following equation that express the definition of impulse

Impulse = Force * Time\\\\Impulse = 215 * 1.5 = 322.5 [kg*m/s]

A gyroscope flywheel of radius 3.25 cm is accelerated from rest at 11.6 rad/s2 until its angular speed is 1820 rev/min. (a) What
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

           radius (r) = 3.25 cm,    \alpha = 11.6 rad/s^{2}

Now, we will calculate the tangential acceleration as follows.

          a_{tangential} = \alpha \times r

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

         a_{tangential} = \alpha \times r

                      = 11.6 rad/s^{2} \times 3.25 cm

                      = 37.7 rad cm/s^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the tangential acceleration of a point on the rim of the flywheel during this spin-up process is 37.7 rad cm/s^{2}.
