Answer:

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>B.) the speed decreases</u>.

Explanation:

<em>When the light passes from one medium to another, its speed changes</em>.

<em>The light is affected by the medium it passes through, so that the denser the medium is</em>, the lower the speed of light. <em>When crossing a diamond, for example, which is a very dense medium</em>, the speed of light is reduced by a factor of 2,417.

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>B.) the speed decreases</u>.

spayn [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Reyleigh's criteria. Here the resolution of the eye is defined as 1.22 times the wavelength over the diameter of the eye. Mathematically this is,

\theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{D}

Here,

D is diameter of the eye

D = \frac{1.22 (539nm)}{5.11 mm}

D= 1.287*10^{-4}m

The angle that relates the distance between the lights and the distance to the lamp is given by,

Sin\theta = \frac{d}{L}

For small angle, sin\theta = \theta

sin \theta = \frac{d}{L}

Here,

d = Distance between lights

L = Distance from eye to lamp

For small angle sin \theta = \theta

Therefore,

L = \frac{d}{sin\theta}

L = \frac{0.691m}{1.287*10^{-4}}

L = 5367m

Therefore the distance is 5.367km.

a bicycle travels at a velocity of -2.33 m/s and has a displacement of -58.3 m. how much time did it take?
Alexandra [31]
We know that velocity is equal to the total displacement of an object over time.
velocity =  \frac{displacement}{time}
Deriving from that equation, we can say that:
t =  \frac{d}{v}
Okay, so here it goes:
t =  \frac{58.3m}{2.33 \frac{m}{s} } \\ t = 25.02s
The bicycle took 25.02 seconds to displace at 58.3 meters.

A 1560-kilogram truck moving with a speed of 28.0 m/s runs into the rear end of a 1070-kilogram stationary car. If the collision
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Δ KE =  249158.6 kJ  

Explanation:

given data

Truck mass  M =  1560 Kg

Truck initial speed, u = 28 m/s

mass of car m = 1070 Kg

initial speed of car u1 = 0 m/s

solution

first we get here final speed by using conservation of momentum  that is express as

Mu = (M+m) V     .......................1

put here  value we get

1560 × 28 = (1560 + 1070 ) V

solve it we get

final speed V = 16.60 m/s

and

Change in kinetic energy  will be here

Δ KE =   \frac{1}{2} Mu^2 - \frac{1}{2}(M+m)V^2         .................2

put here value and we get

 Δ KE = \frac{1}{2}\times 1560\times 28^2 - \frac{1}{2}\times (1560 + 1070)\times 16.60^2  

solve it we get

Δ KE =  249158.6 kJ

An experimenter finds that standing waves on a string fixed at both ends occur at 24 Hz and 32 Hz , but at no frequencies in bet
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

8 Hz

Explanation:

Given that

Standing wave at one end is 24 Hz

Standing wave at the other end is 32 Hz.

Then the frequency of the standing wave mode of a string having a length, l, is usually given as

f(m) = m(v/2L), where in this case, m could be 1. 2. 3. 4 etc

Also, another formula is given as

f(m) = m.f(1), where f(1) is the fundamental frequency..

Thus, we could say that

f(m+1) - f(m) = (m + 1).f(1) - m.f(1) = f(1)

And as such,

f(1) = 32 - 24

f(1) = 8 Hz

Then, the fundamental frequency needed is 8 Hz
