When a wave strikes a solid barrier it behaves like a basketball hitting a backboard this wave behavior years called?

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.

¿Cuál es la magnitud y dirección de la aceleración de los cuerpos en caída libre en el planeta Tierra?
Tatiana [17]

La magnitud es de 9.8 m/s² ... la aceleración de la gravedad en o cerca de la superficie de la Tierra.

La dirección es hacia el centro de la Tierra. (Llamamos a esa dirección "abajo").

The velocity of a 1.3 kg remote-controlled car is plotted on the graph. The work of segment A is J.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: 585 J

Explanation:

We can calculate the work done during segment A by using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the object:

W=K_f -K_i

where Kf is the final kinetic energy and Ki the initial kinetic energy. The initial kinetic energy is zero (because the initial velocity is 0), while the final kinetic energy is

K_f =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The mass is m=1.3 kg, while the final velocity is v=30 m/s, so the work done is:

W=K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.3 kg)(30 m/s)^2=585 J

The singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter. Explain this using what you know about resonance.
rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

Resonance: Resonance is the phenomenon which occurs when the applied frequency on the object is equal to its natural frequency.

In the given problem, the singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter.

This occurs due to the phenomenon resonance. The applied frequency of the singing of an opera singer on the drinking glass matches with the natural frequency of the drinking glass. It causes a glass to shatter.

Block 1 (mass 2.00 kg) is moving rightward at 10.0 m/s and block 2 (mass 5.00 kg) is moving rightward at 3.00 m/s. The surface i
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a) 0.25m

b) 5 m/s

Explanation:

When the spring is compressed both boxes are moving with the same velocity, so applying the principle of linear momentum conservation:

m1*v_{o1}+m2*v_{o2}=(m1+m2)*v\\v=5m/s

Now applying the principle of energy conservation:

K1+K2+U_{g1}-U_e=Kf+U_{g2}\\K1+0-U_e=K2+0\\U_e=K1+K2-kf\\\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2+=\frac{1}{2}*m1*v1^2+\frac{1}{2}*m1*v1^2-\frac{1}{2}*(m1+m2)*v^2\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2.00kg*(10m/s)^2+5.00kg*(3.00m/s)^2-7.00kg*(5m/s)^2}{1120N/m}}\\x=0.25m

We got that the maximum compression is 0.25m.
