Answer:

B-Refraction  

Explanation:

Refraction is the change in direction of a wave as it passes from one medium to another.

The curved surface of a convex lens bends the light rays just enough to make them meet at a focal point.

A 75 kg bungee jumper leaps from a bridge. When he is 30 meters above the water, and moving at a speed of 20 m/s, the bungee cor
jasenka [17]

Answer:

k = 52.2 N / m

Explanation:

For this exercise we are going to use the conservation of mechanical energy.

Starting point. When it is 30 m high

        Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v² + m g h

Final point. Right when you hit the water

        Em_{f} = K_{e} = ½ k x²

in this case the distance the bungee is stretched is 30 m

        x = h

as they indicate that there are no losses, energy is conserved

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

       ½ m v² + m g h = ½ k h²

       k = \frac{m (v^{2} + 2 g h)}{h^{2} }

let's calculate

       k = \frac{75 \ ( 20^{2}  + 2 \ 9.8 \ 30)}{30^{2} }

       k = 52.2 N / m

A 25,000-kg train car moving at 2.50 m/s collides with and connects to a train car of equal mass moving in the same direction at
Margarita [4]

Answer:

14062.5 J

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision  = Total momentum after collision.

V = (m₁u₁ + m₂u₂)/(m₁+m₂).................1

Where V = common velocity after collision

Given: m₁ = m₂ = 25000 kg, u₁ = 2.5 m/s, u₂ = 1 m/s

Substitute into equation 1

V = [25000(2.5) + 25000(1)]/(25000+25000)

V = (62500+25000)/50000

V = 87500/50000

V = 1.75 m/s.

Note: The collision is an inelastic collision as such there is lost in kinetic energy of the system.

Total Kinetic energy before collision = kinetic energy of the first train car + kinetic energy of the second train car

E₁ = 1/2m₁u₁² + 1/2m₂u₂²........................ Equation 2

Where E₁ = Total kinetic energy of the body before collision, m₁ and m₂ = mass of the first train car and second train car respectively. u₁ and u₂ = initial velocity of the first train car and second train car respectively.

Given: m₁ = m₂ = 25000 kg, u₁ = 2.5 m/s, u₂ = 1 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

E₁ = 1/2(25000)(2.5)² + 1/2(25000)(1.0)²

E₁ = 12500(6.25) + 12500

E₁ = 78125+12500

E₁ = 90625 J.

Also

E₂ = 1/2V²(m₁+m₂)....................... Equation 3

Where E₂ = total kinetic energy of the system after collision, V = common velocity, m₁ and m₂ = mass of the first and second train car respectively.

Given: V = 1.75 m/s, m₁ = m₂ = 25000 kg

Substitute into equation 3

E₂ = 1/2(1.75)²(25000+25000)

E₂ = 1/2(3.0625)(50000)

E₂ = (3.0625)(25000)

E₂ = 76562.5 J.

Lost in kinetic Energy of the system = E₁ - E₂ = 90625 - 76562.5

Lost in kinetic energy of the system = 14062.5 J

Suppose a skydiver (mass = 75 kg) is falling toward the Earth. When the skydiver is 100 m above the Earth he is moving at 60 m/s
Andrej [43]

Answer:

  Potential energy = 73.575 kJ

  Kinetic energy = 135kJ

  Total mechanical energy = 208.575 kJ

Explanation:

   The potential energy of a body is given by the expression, PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the body, g is the acceleration due to gravity value and h is the height of the body.

  The kinetic energy of a body is given by KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^2, where v is the velocity and m is the mass of body.

  Total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

  KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^2=\frac{1}{2} *75*60^2= 135000J = 135kJ

  PE = mgh = 75*9.81*100 = 73575 J = 73.575 kJ

  Total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy = 135+73.575

                                             = 208.575 kJ
