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.

What are two ways an object can gain more gravitational potential energy?
Ostrovityanka [42]

When an item is raised, the work is done in opposition to gravity. When an item is worked on, energy is transmitted to it, and it develops gravitational potential energy. If the same thing falls from that height, gravity must do the same amount of effort to bring it back to the Earth's surface.

9. A force is applied horizontally to a 20 kg box on a flat table, if the acceleration of the box is 2 m/s and the
marysya [2.9K]

By Newton's second law,

<em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

<em>p</em> + (-<em>f</em> ) = (20 kg) (2 m/s²)

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force, <em>w</em> is the weight of the box, <em>p</em> is the magnitude of the applied force (<em>p</em> for <u>p</u>ush or <u>p</u>ull), and <em>f</em> is the magnitude of the friction force.

Calculate the weight of the box:

<em>w</em> = (20 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 196 N

Then

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = 196 N

and

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> = 0.5 (196 N) = 98 N

Now solve for <em>p</em> :

<em>p</em> - 98 N = 40 N

<em>p</em> = 138 N

An 80.0 kg skier slides down a hill shaped as shown. Assume
umka21 [38]

The height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The height above the ground from where the skier start is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below;

P.E = K.E

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \\\\h = \frac{15^2}{2 \times 9.8} \\\\h = 11.5 \ m

Thus, the height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti
Goshia [24]

Answer:

6.78571 m/s

55.13387 Joules

Explanation:

v_s = Velocity of squid = 2.5 m/s

v_w = Velocity of water

m_w = Mass of water = 1.75 kg

Mass of squid

m_s=6.5-1.75=4.75\ kg

Momentum of squid

p_s=m_sv_s\\\Rightarrow p_s=4.75\times 2.5\\\Rightarrow p_s=11.875\ kgm/s

As the momentum of the system is conserved

p_s+p_w=0\\\Rightarrow p_s=-p_w\\\Rightarrow 11.875=-p_w\\\Rightarrow 11.875=-m_wv_w\\\Rightarrow v_w=-\frac{11.875}{1.75}\\\Rightarrow v_w=6.78571\ m/s

The speed of the water is 6.78571 m/s

Kinetic energy the squid creates is given by

Kinetic energy of the squid + Kinetic energy of water

K=K_s+K_w\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}(m_sv_s^2+m_wv_w^2)\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}(4.75\times 2.5^2+1.75\times 6.78571^2)\\\Rightarrow K=55.13387\ J

Kinetic energy the squid creates by this maneuver is 55.13387 Joules

Which description best models the energy transfer that occurs in the radiative zone?
Zinaida [17]

Answer : Option D) A dropped wallet is kicked around the floor of a busy train station.

Explanation : The description that best suits the model for the energy transfer that occurs in the radiative zone is -

<h3>A dropped wallet is kicked around the floor of a busy train station.</h3>

As in the radiation zone, which is also called as radiative zone or radiative region in the layer of a star's interior where energy is primarily transported toward the exterior by means of radiative diffusion and thermal conduction. This can be correlated with the example of a dropped wallet in a busy train station as the wallet would be kicked by many people who are in a hurry to travel, this represents the radiative diffusion. So, every time the wallet is being kicked by someone the energy is getting transformed.
