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

Mama L [17]4 years ago

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.

The radius of a small ball is around 3.79747 cm. The radius of a basketball is about 3.16 times larger. What is the ratio of the
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Explanation:

The ratio of the areas is the square of the ratio of the radii.

A/A = 3.16² = 9.99

The ratio of the volumes is the cube of the ratio of the radii.

V/V = 3.16³ = 31.6

What evidence do we have that Earth has a magnetic field surrounding the planet?
Ber [7]
A compass works the way it does because Earth has a magnetic field that looks a lot like the one in a magnet. The Earth's field is completely invisible, but it can be felt by a compass needle on the Earth's surface, and it reaches thousands of miles out into space.

If an object has a mass of 1417g and it is moved 47 meters in 90 seconds, how much power was used?
astraxan [27]

Mass of the object is given as

m = 1417 g = 1.417 kg

now the speed of object is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

here we know that

d = 47 m

t = 90 s

now we will have

v = \frac{47}{90} = 0.52 m/s

now we will have kinetic energy of the object as

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

KE = \frac{1}{2}(1.417)(0.52)^2

KE = 0.19 J

now the power is defined as rate of energy

so here we can find power as

P = \frac{KE}{t}

P = \frac{0.19}{90} = 2.14\times 10^{-3} W

so above is the power used for the object
