This behavior is called reflection.
Reflection is a change of in direction of the wave when it reaches another medium. Imagine a wave colliding with a glass in a tank of water.
During reflection, some of the initial energy of the wave is lost.
Waves always reflect with at same angle at which it approached the obstacle.

<span>The answer is friction. The force acting upon the comparative motion of solid surfaces, liquid layers, and material elements sliding in contradiction of each other. When sides in contact move comparative to each other, the friction amid the two surfaces changes kinetic energy into thermal energy; in other words work to heat. </span>

A traveler pulls on a suitcase strap at an angle 36 above the horizontal with a force of friction of 8 N with the floor. If 752
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

71.8 N

Explanation:

T = Tension force in the strap

W = net work done = 752 J

f = force of friction = 8 N

d = displacement = 15 m

θ = angle between tension force and horizontal displacement = 36 deg

work done by frictional force is given as

W' = - f d

Work done by the tension force is given as

W'' = T d Cos36

Net work done is given as

W = W' + W''

W = T d Cos36 - f d

752 = T (15) Cos36 - (8) (15)

T = 71.8 N

Which action would increase the strength of the electric force between the ballon and the water
OLga [1]

Complete question is;

Which action would increase the strength of the electric force between the balloon and the water?

A. Holding a magnet near the stream of water

B. Holding the balloon closer to the stream of water

C. Holding a magnet near the balloon

D. Moving the balloon farther away from the stream of water

Answer:

B. Holding the balloon closer to the stream of water

Explanation:

When we take a charged balloon near water, what happens is that it makes electrons to be pushed away which in turn leaves the area to be positively charged. This area is now attracted to the balloon and thus the strength of the electric force between the balloon and the water is increased.

A 2. 5 kg block is launched along the ground by a spring with a spring constant of 56 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 0.
OLga [1]

The speed of the spring when it is released is 3.5 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the block, m = 2.5 kg</em>
  • <em>Spring constant, k = 56 N/m</em>
  • <em>Extension of the spring, x = 0.75 m</em>

The speed of the spring when it is released is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy as follows;

K.E = U_x\\\\\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\\\mv^2 = kx^2\\\\v^2 = \frac{kx^2}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{56 \times 0.75^2}{2.5} } \\\\v = 3.5  \ m/s

Thus, the speed of the spring when it is released is 3.5 m/s.
