Compare and contrast between reflection and refraction

1 answer:

3 0

Differences:

Reflection is described as the reverting back of light or sound waves in the same medium, when it falls on plane.

Refraction means the shift in direction of the radio waves, when it enters medium with different density.

Comparisons:

Reflection and refraction both change the direction of light and both do not absorb light. All light waves can be reflected and refracted.

Both Reflection and Refraction are phenomenon related with wave motion of sound, and electromagnetic waves, thus including light.

A race car travels 44.3 m/s around a banked (45° with the horizontal) circular (radius = 200 m) track. What is the magnitude of

djverab [1.8K]

The magnitude of the resultant force is given by the centripetal force, since the car is under a circular motion. So, we have:

$F_c=ma_c$

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where v is the linear speed and r the radius of the circular motion. Replacing this and solving:

$F=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\F=80kg\frac{(44.3\frac{m}{s})^2}{200m}\\F=785N*\frac{1kN}{1000N}\\F=0.785kN$

A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is 2.10×10^{4} 4 m/s^{2} 2 , and 1.85 ms (1

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

Explanation:

given data:

acceleration = 2.10*10^4 m/s^2

time = 1.85*10^{-3} s

final velocity = 0 m/s

from equation of motion we have following relation

v = u +at

0 = u + 2.10*10^4 *1.85*10^{-3}

0 = u + (21 *1.85)

0 = u + 38.85

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

negative sign indicate that the ball bounce in opposite directon

The sport with the fastest moving ball is jai alai, where measured speeds can be 286 km/h. If a professional jai alai player fac

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

d= 794.4 cmExplanation:

Given that

Speed ,V= 286 km/h

$=286\times \dfrac{1000}{3600}\ m/s$

V=79.44 m/s

Given that time ,t= 100 ms

t= 0.1 s

We know that ( if acceleration is zero)

Distance = Speed x time

d= V t

Now by putting the values in the above equation

d = 79.44 x 0.1 m

d= 7.944 m

We know that 1 m = 100 cm

d= 794.4 cm
