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.

Calculate the potential energy of a body of a mass 2kg held 4 meters above the ground if g=10m/s?​
Drupady [299]

Answer:

16000

Explanation:

Mass(m)=2Kg (1kg= 1ooo g then 2 kg=2000 g)

Velocity(v)= 4 meter

Acceleration due to gravity (g)=10m/s

We know that,

P.E= 1/2 mv^2

or, 1/2 × 2ooo × 4^2

or, 1/2×2000 ×16

or, 2000×8

Therefore= 16000

What accounts for most of the mass in the universe?
aev [14]
Around 80 percent  of the mass of the universe is made up material known as "Dark matter". It does not emit light or energy but the influence of it can be detected or observed gravitationally. Motions of stars and galaxy tell us how much mater there is, but somehow the speed of rotation of galaxy does not add up to its mass alone, there is a certain amount of matter really not accounted for. Dark matter maybe made up of non-baryonic matter, or perhaps what scientist called the WIMPS or (weakly interacting massive particles.)
