What is the bending of a wave due to it entering a different medium as it travels?

1 answer:

4 0

It would be refractions, that is why a pencil looks bent when u put it in a cup of water/new medium. Reflected is like a mirror reflecting light and absorbing is like black clothes absorbing sun rays making you sweat from the heat.

A sound wave has a speed of 330m/s and a wavelength of 0.372 m. what is the frequency of the wave?

Alja [10]

Answer:

887.1Hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of sound wave = 330m/s

Wavelength = 0.372m

Unknown:

Frequency = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

Speed = Frequency x wavelength

330 = Frequency x 0.372

Frequency = 887.1Hz

A force of 20N changes the position of a body. If mass of the body is 2kg, find the acceleration produced in the body.2. A ball

shepuryov [24]

Explanation:

Hello there!!!

You just need to use simple formula for force and momentum, 

F= m.a

and momentum (p)= m.v

where m= mass

v= velocity.

a= acceleration .

And the solutions are in pictures. 

Hope it helps..

The drum of a washing machine spins at 200 rpm the drum had a radius of 0.5m what will the centripetal force experienced by a to

miskamm [114]

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.

The given parameters;

angular speed of the washing machine, ω = 200 rpm
radius of the machine' drum, r = 0.5 m
mass of the towel, m = 0.25 kg

The centripetal force experienced by the towel spinning along the walls of the drum is calculated as follows;

Fc = mrω²

where;

Fc is the centripetal force

ω is angular speed in rad/s

The angular speed in rad/s is calculate as;

$\omega = \frac{200 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 \ s} \\\\\omega = 20.95 \ rad/s$

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is calculated as;

$F_c = mr\omega ^2\\\\F_c = 0.25 \times 0.5 \times (20.95)^2\\\\F_c = 54.9 \ N \ \approx 55 \ N$

Thus, the centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.

You see a lightning bolt flash in the distant sky. You hear the corresponding thunder 6.8 seconds later. If the temperature is 2

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

$Distance = 2.4\ km$

Explanation:

Given

$Time (t) = 6.8s$

$Temperature = 28C$

Required

Determine the distance at which the lighting struck

First, we need to determine the speed at which the lighting struck because the peed of sound varies with temperature.

At about 28C, the speed of sound is 346m/s

So, we have the following:

$Speed = 346m/s$

$Time = 6.8s$

Distance is calculated as thus:

$Distance = Speed * Time$

$Distance = 346m/s * 6.8s$

$Distance = 2352.8$

Divide by 1000 to get distance equivalent in kilometers

$Distance = \frac{2352.8km}{1000}$

$Distance = 2.3528km$

$Distance = 2.4\ km$ ---- Approximated
