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

1 answer:

5 0

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.

An airplane flies horizontally with a constant speed of 155.0 m/s at an unknown altitude. A package is released out of the airpl

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

y₀ = 1020.3 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, in this case as the package is released its initial vertical velocity is zero.

y = y₀ + $v_{oy}$ t - ½ g t²

when it reaches the ground its height is zero

0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

y₀ = ½ g t²

let's calculate

y₀ = ½ 9.8 14.43²

y₀ = 1020.3 m

Trava [24]

Answer:

Their number should increase

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that causes the ejection of electrons from that metal as light shined onto a metal surface. Only certain frequencies of light can cause the ejection of electrons. However, if the frequency of the incident light is too low then no electrons were ejected even if the intensity of the light was very high. If the frequency of the light was higher then electrons were able to be ejected from the metal surface even if the intensity of the light was very low.

According to the accepted wave theory, light of any frequency will cause electrons to be emitted. Kinetic energy emitted by the electrons depends upon the intensity of light.

According to the accepted wave theory, number of electrons being ejected by the metal should increase

What speed would a proton need to achieve in order to circle Earth 1790 km above the magnetic equator, where the Earth's mag- ne

irinina [24]

Answer:

The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance $h= 1790 km = 1.790\times10^{6}\ m$

Magnetic field $B=4\times10^{-8}\ T$

Mass of proton $m=1.673\times10^{-21}\ Kg$

Radius of earth $R =6.38\times10^{6}\ m$

Radius of orbit $r=R+h$

$r=6.38\times10^{6}+1.790\times10^{6}$

$r=8170000\ m$

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of magnetic field

$Bvq=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\dfrac{Bqr}{m}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{4\times10^{-8}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times8170000}{1.673\times10^{-21}}$

$v=31.25\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

The power is inversely proportional with time

trapecia [35]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Given that Power whose unit is Watt equates to one joule of work per second. It implies that Power is directly proportional to the work done and inversely proportional to the time to do the work.

Therefore, in this case, the right answer to the question is that it is TRUE that the power is inversely proportional with time
