A. the medium

For refraction to occur, there has to be change from one medium to another. For example rays of light would refract as the travel from air to water.

A 2kg object travels to the right at 5.5 m/s after colliding with a 3kg object, initially at rest, what are the speeds of each o
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Velocity of Object with 2 kg= 3.390 m/s

Velocity of Object with 3 kg= 3.404 m/s

Explanation:

From the picture, it can be seen that object B is initially at rest while object A is travelling at a speed of 5m/s. After the collision, Object A moves at an angle of 65 degrees while object B moves at an angle of 37 degrees.

We also know that momentum of a closed system is conserved.

Initial momentum along the x-axis = 2*5.5 = 11

Initial momentum along y-axis = 0

Final momentum along x-axis= a*Cos(65)*2 +b*Cos(37) *3= 11 (a is the velocity of object A of 2 kg after collision where as b is the velocity of object B of 3 kg after collision. velocity is multiplied by cosines of the angle from x axis to give the horizontal component of the velocities).

Final momentum along y-axis = a*Sin(65)*2 - b*Sin(37)*3 =0 (We can see that vertical components of velocity are opposite in direction to each other)

Solve both the equations simultaneously for a and b.

Answer:

B.C. D. G.

Explanation:

A vector quantity, has both magnitude and direction. A tip to remember is if you can add a direction to it! You wouldnt say 30 pounds north, but you would say 30 mph north.

An engine has an energy input of 125 J, and 35 J of that energy is transformed into useful energy. What is the efficiency of the
xeze [42]

The efficiency of the engine at the given useful energy and input energy is 28%.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Input energy of the engine, = 125 J</em>
  • <em>Useful energy of the engine, 35 J</em>

The efficiency of the engine is defined as the ratio of the output energy (useful energy) to the input energy and it is calculated as follows;

efficiency\ = \frac{0ut put \ energy}{1nput \ energy} \times \ 100\%\\\\efficiency\ = \frac{35}{125} \times 100\%\\\\efficiency\ = 28 \ \%

Thus, the efficiency of the engine at the given useful energy and input energy is 28%.

In which direction are the winds blowing in the northern and southern hemispheres
Alika [10]

The winds normally blow from east to the west rather than blowing from the north to the south in the northern and the southern hemispheres.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The reason for the blowing of the wind from the east to the west rather than from the north to the south in both the hemispheres which are the northern and the southern hemispheres are because it happens in light of the fact that Earth's rotation around it's own axis creates what is known as the Coriolis effect.

The Coriolis impact makes wind frameworks turn counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
