Answer:

Varies from point to point on the surface of the material.

Explanation:

Diffusion reflection is the reflection of light due to irregular reflection angles on the material surface. It might be as a result of microscopic irregularities on the material surface or just plain non reflecting ability of the material.

What is the acceleration of a ball traveling horizontally with an initial velocity os 20 meters/second and ,2.0 seconds later, a

ch4aika [34]

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so can be calculated by:
a = v2 - v1 / t where v2 and v1 are the final and initial velocities of the object respectively and t is the time taken. Therefore the acceleration is:
a = 30 m/s - 20 m/s / 2.0 s = 10 m/s / 2.0 s = 5 m/(s^2)
Hope this helps!

After the first solid grains formed in our solar system, these particles could then grow by the process of ____, the collision a

labwork [276]

Answer:

Accretion

Explanation:

Accretion is the process by which there is an accumulation of particles into a bigger object by attracting more mass by gravitational force into an accretion disk. This is one of the first steps in the formation of our solar system. There was a collapse of a gas cloud which resulted in most of the mass collecting in the center leading to the formation of the sun and the rest spread out forming the planets.

Two masses are joined by a mass less string. A 33-N force applied vertically to the upper mass gives the system a constant upwar

lisov135 [29]

Lower mass: 1.20 kg, upper mass: 1.28 kg

Explanation:

In order to solve the problem, we consider the forces acting on the upper mass only first.

The upper mass is acted upon three forces:

The applied force $F_a=33 N$ , upward
The weight of the mass itself, $m_u g$ , where $m_u$ is the upper mass and $g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, downward
The tension in the string, $T=16 N$ , downward

Therefore, the equation of the forces for the upper mass is:

$F_a - m_u g - T = m_u a$

where

$a=3.5 m/s^2$ is the acceleration (upward)

Solving for $m_u$ ,

$m_u = \frac{F_a-T}{a+g}=\frac{33-16}{3.5+9.8}=1.28 kg$

Now we can find the lower mass by considering the forces acting on it:

The tension in the string, T = 16 N, upward
The weight of the mass itself, $m_L g$ , where $m_L$ is the lower mass, downward

So the equation of the forces is

$T-m_L g = m_L a$

And solving for the mass,

$m_L = \frac{T}{a+g}=\frac{16}{3.5+9.8}=1.20 kg$

Two loops of wire are arranged so that a changing current in one will induce a current in the other. If the current in the first

patriot [66]

Answer:

The current in the second loop will stay constant

Explanation:

Since the induced emf in the second coil, ε due to the changing current i₁ in the first wire loop ε = -Mdi₁/dt where M = mutual inductance of the coils and di₁/dt = rate of change of current in the first coil = + 1 A/s (positive since it is clockwise)

Now ε = i₂R where i₂ = current in second wire loop and R = resistance of second wire loop.

So, i₂R = -Mdi₁/dt

i₂ = -Mdi₁/dt/R

Since di₁/dt = + 1 A/s,

i₂ = -Mdi₁/dt/R

i₂ = -M × + 1 A/s/R

i₂ = -M/R

Since M and R are constant, this implies that i₂ = constant

<u>So, the current in the second wire loop will stay constant.</u>
