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.

A 1000 kg car moving at 108 km/h jams on its brakes and comes to a stop. How much work was done by friction?

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The work done by friction was $-4.5\times10^{5}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 1000 kg

Initial speed of car =108 km/h =30 m/s

When the car is stop by brakes.

Then, final speed of car will be zero.

We need to calculate the work done by friction

Using formula of work done

$W=\Delta KE$

$W=K.E_{f}-K.E_{i}$

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2$

Put the value of m and v

$W=0-\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times(30)^2$

$W=-450000
\ J$

$W=-4.5\times10^{5}\ J$

Hence, The work done by friction was $-4.5\times10^{5}\ J$

Tennis balls traveling at greater than 100 mph routinely bounce off tennis rackets. At some sufficiently high speed, however, th

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Probability of tunneling is $10^{- 1.17\times 10^{32}}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of the tennis ball, v = 120 mph = 54 m/s

Mass of the tennis ball, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg

Thickness of the tennis ball, t = 2.0 mm = $2.0\times 10^{- 3}\ m$

Max velocity of the tennis ball, $v_{m} = 200\ mph$ = 89 m/s

Now,

The maximum kinetic energy of the tennis ball is given by:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv_{m}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.1\times 89^{2} = 396.05\ J$

Kinetic energy of the tennis ball, KE' = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = 0.5\times 0.1\times 54^{2} = 154.8\ m/s$

Now, the distance the ball can penetrate to is given by:

$\eta = \frac{\bar{h}}{\sqrt{2m(KE - KE')}}$

$\bar{h} = \frac{h}{2\pi} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{2\pi} = 1.0545\times 10^{- 34}\ Js$

Thus

$\eta = \frac{1.0545\times 10^{- 34}}{\sqrt{2\times 0.1(396.05 - 154.8)}}$

$\eta = 1.52\times 10^{-35}\ m$

Now,

We can calculate the tunneling probability as:

$P(t) = e^{\frac{- 2t}{\eta}}$

$P(t) = e^{\frac{- 2\times 2.0\times 10^{- 3}}{1.52\times 10^{-35}}} = e^{-2.63\times 10^{32}}$

$P(t) = e^{-2.63\times 10^{32}}$

Taking log on both the sides:

$logP(t) = -2.63\times 10^{32} loge$

$P(t) = 10^{- 1.17\times 10^{32}}$

Based on the most widely accepted scientific explanation, elements began to form shortly after the big bang. Which of the follow

worty [1.4K]

Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

Answer: B. helium
