In a room that is 2.41 m high, a spring (unstrained length = 0.30 m) hangs from the ceiling. A board whose length is 1.86 m is a

ttached to the free end of the spring. The board hangs straight down, so that its 1.86-m length is perpendicular to the floor. The weight of the board (104 N) stretches the spring so that the lower end of the board just extends to, but does not touch, the floor. What is the spring constant of the spring?

Answer:

416 N\m

Explanation:

Weight of board

W=ma\\\Rightarrow W=104\ N

Length the spring can stretch = Total height of room - (unstrained length of spring + Length of Board)

2.41-(0.3+1.86)\\\Rightarrow 2.41-2.16=0.25\ m

From Hooke's law

W=kx\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{W}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{104}{0.25}\\\Rightarrow k=416\ N\m

The spring constant is 416 N/m

Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all
Paha777 [63]
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract


Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.

Define motion also justify that rest and motion are related terms​
Damm [24]

Answer;

Motion: A body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to its surroundings.

Explanation:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body .

one example for each. Rest: If a body does not change its position with respect to its surroundings, the body is said to be at rest. ... Motion: A body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to its surroundings.

A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac
vovikov84 [41]

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction = 90°

{n_2} is the refractive index of the refraction medium

{n_1} is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

{sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}

Where,  

{\theta_{critical}} is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.
