Refraction:

1 answer:

4 0

Refraction is caused by any wave crossing the boundary out of one substance and into another one. The two different substances may be no more than two parcels of air at different temperatures.

An aluminum cup contains 225 g of water and a 40 g copper stirrer, all at 27°C. A 410 g sample of silver at an initial temperatu

fomenos

Answer:

130.22 g

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of water Mw = 225 g

Mass of stirrer Ms = 40 g

Mass of silver M(S) = 410 g

By applying the law of conservation of energy:

(McCc + MsCs + MwCw)ΔTw = M(S)C(S)ΔT(S)

where Mc = Mass of cup

Cc = Specific heat capacity of aluminium cup = 900 J/gC

Cs = Specific heat capacity of copper stirrer = 387 J/gC

Cw = Specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/gC

ΔTw = change in temperature of water = 32 - 27 = 5 °C

C(S) = Specific heat capacity of silver = 234 J/gC

ΔT(S) = change in temperature of silver = 88 - 32 = 56 °C

Therefore:

[(Mc * 900) + (40 * 387) + (225 * 4186)] * 5 = 410 * 234 * 56

(900Mc + 957330) * 5 = 5276700

900Mc + 957330 = 5276700 / 5 = 1074528

900Mc = 1074528 - 957330

900Mc = 117198

Mc = 117198/ 900

Mc = 130.22 g

The mass of the cup is 130.22 g.

An 80-kg quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43-kg football horizontally at 15 m/s . Suppose that

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

0.0241875 m

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of quarterback = 80 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of football = 0.43 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of quarterback

$v_2$ = Velocity of football = 15 m/s

Time taken = 0.3 seconds

In this system as the linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{0.43\times 15}{80}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.080625\ m/s$

Assuming this velocity is constant

$Distance=Velocity\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=0.080625\times 0.3\\\Rightarrow Distance=0.0241875\ m$

The distance the quarterback will move in the horizontal direction is 0.0241875 m

Which materials produce greater or fewer vibrations on a roller coaster?

mixer [17]

Steel materials produce less vibrations whilst less dense and more malleable parts produce more vibrations, e.g. the wooden part of the coaster itself.
