Diffraction or refraction

Svet_ta [14]3 years ago

Answer: C) This is an example of refraction and not diffraction.

Explanation: The reason for the straw to appear bent at the water's surface is because of the process of refraction. Light travels at different speeds in different medium because of the varying densities.

The light travels from air to water and thus the difference in speed results in an apparent shift of the position of part of straw under water and thus the part appears broken.

Reflection is the the return of sound or light energy from the surface without absorbing it.

Diffraction is the phenomenon which occurs when the wave encounters an obstacle.

The magnitude of the velocity of a projectile when it is at its maximum height above ground level is 14 m/s. (a) What is the mag
Alecsey [184]

When the projectile is at its maximum height above ground, it's at the point
of changing from rising to falling.  At that exact point, its vertical speed is zero,
so the 14 m/s must be all horizontal velocity.  That's not going to change.

Since we need to consider changes in vertical speed now, we need to make
some assumption about where this is all happening, so that we know the
acceleration of gravity.  I'll assume that it's all happening on or near the Earth,
and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

I'm also going to neglect air resistance.

a). 1.2 sec before it reaches its maximum height, the projectile is rising
at a vertical speed of (1.2 x 9.8) = 11.76 m/s. 
The magnitude of its velocity is

the square root of (14² + 11.76²) = 18.28 m/s, directed about 40° above horizontal.

b).  1.2 sec after it reaches its maximum height, the projectile is falling
at a vertical speed of (1.2 x 9.8) = 11.76 m/s. 
The magnitude of its velocity is

the square root of (14² + 11.76²) = 18.28 m/s, directed about 40° below horizontal.

===========================

In 1.2 second before or after zero vertical speed, an object in free fall moves

         (1/2) (g) (t²) = (4.9) (1.2²) = 7.06 meters .

c). & d).
1.2 seconds before it reaches maximum height, the projectile is located at

           x = -14 m
           y = -7.06 m

e). & f).
1.2 seconds after it reaches maximum height, the projectile is located at

           x = +14 m
           y = -7.06 m .


I hope you recognize that 6 answers, plus a little bit of explanation,
all for 5 points, ain't too shabby.  You made out well.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

A. increase the speed

Explanation:

For you to be able to shorten the time it takes for the care to get to its destination, you must increase the speed because if the distance is the same that means you have to increase your speed.
