Answer:

reflection :

angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

A 12,000-N car is raised using a hydraulic lift, which consists of a U-tube with arms of unequal areas, filled with incompressib

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

F = 1958.4 N

Explanation:

By volume conservation of the fluid on both sides we can say that volume of fluid displaced on the side of the car must be equal to the volume of fluid on the other side

so we have

$L_1A_1 = L_2A_2$

$1.20(\pi 18^2) = L_2(\pi 5^2)$

$L_2 = 15.55 m$

so the car will lift upwards by distance 1.2 m and the other side will go down by distance 15.55 m

So here the net pressure on the smaller area is given as

$P = P_{atm} + \frac{12,000}{\pi (0.18)^2} + \rho g (1.2 + 15.55)$

excess pressure exerted on the smaller area is given as

$P_{ex} = \frac{12000}{\pi (0.18)^2} + 800(9.81)(16.75)$

$P_{ex} = 2.49\times 10^5 Pascal$

now the force required on the other side is given as

$F = P_ex (area)$

$F = (2.49 \times 10^5)(\pi (0.05)^2)$

$F = 1958.4 N$

Three kids are riding on a snow sled traveling horizontally without friction at 19.8 m/s. The masses of Kid A, B, and C are 42.8

Kamila [148]

Answer:

34.6 m/s

Explanation:

From conservation of momentum, the sum of initial and final momentum are equal. Momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Initial mass will be 42.8+31.5+25.9=100.2 kg

Final mass will be 31.5+25.9=57.4 kg

From formula of momentum

M1v1=m2v2

Making v2 the subject of the formula then

$V2=\frac {M1v1}{m2}$

Substitute 100.2 kg for M1, 19.8 m/s fkr v1 and 57.4 kg for m2 then

$V2=\frac {100.2 kg\times 19.8 m/s}{57.4 kg}=34.56376 m/s\approx 34.6 m/s$

A potential energy function is given by U(x)=(3.00J)x+(1.00J/m2)x3. What is the force function F(x) (in newtons) that is associa

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

$F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2$

Explanation:

The force is defined as the negative of the derivative of the potential energy:

$F=-\frac{dU}{dx}$

If we use the potential energy function given in this problem:

$U(x)=3.00 x + 1.00 x^3$

and we calculate the force, we get:

$F(x)=-\frac{d}{dx}(3x+x^3)=-3-3x^2$

So, the force is

$F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2$

What is kinematics..???

swat32

Answer:

Kinematics is the study of motion, without any reference to the forces that cause the motion. It basically means studying how things are moving, not why they're moving. It includes concepts such as distance or displacement, speed or velocity, and acceleration, and it looks at how those values vary over time.

mini stereo speaker cables are made of copper wire surrounded by robert electricity travel down the copper portion of the cable

Tom [10]

Here current is flowing through the copper wire so this shows that copper is good conductor of electricity.

It is having less resistance as it conducts the current easily

Now a rubber coating on it will protect us from electric shock

So this property shows that rubber is a bad conductor of electricity

It is having large electrical resistance due to which it will conduct no current

Rubber : - No transmittance of electricity

copper :- good transmittance of electricity
