1. Which wave refracts?

Physics
1 answer:
Digiron [165]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

I want to say your answer is A) an ocean wave approaching the shore at an angle. But not 100% sure. I'm so sorry if it's wrong I really tried to figure it out.

Explanation:

Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refaction , or the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves. Thus, if water waves are passing from deep water into shallow water, they will slow down. ( This is what I read on google maybe it'll help you out).

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The temperature of the core raises by 2.8^{o}C every second.

Explanation:

Since the average specific heat of the reactor core is 0.3349 kJ/kgC

It means that we require 0.3349 kJ of heat to raise the temperature of 1 kg of core material by 1 degree Celsius

Thus reactor core whose mass is 1.60\times 10^{5}kg will require

0.3349\times 1.60\times 10^{5}kJ\\\\=0.53584\times 10^{5}kJ

energy to raise it's temperature by 1 degree Celsius in 1 second

Hence by the concept of proportionately we can infer 150 MW of power will increase the temperature by

\frac{150\times 10^{6}}{0.53584\times 10^{8}}=2.8^{o}C/s

One horsepower (hp) is the amount of power required to lift a 75-kg mass a vertical distance of 1 m in 1 s. What is 2 hp equival
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1470 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is used up. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W).

The expression for power is given as,

P = Energy/time

P = mgh/t ...................... Equation 1

Where P = power, m = mass, h = height, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 75 kg, g =9.8 m/s², h = 1 m, t = 1 s.

Substitute into equation 1

P = (75×1×9.8)/1

P = 735 W.

From the above,

1 hp = 735 W

2 hp = (2×735) W

2 hp = 1470 W.

Hence 2 hp = 1470 W

During the deceleration of an ascending elevator, the normal force on the feet of a passenger is _____ her weight. During the de
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: Smaller than ; larger than

Explanation:

When the elevator is moving in the upward direction, then the force acting on it is negative in nature because of

N= mg +ma, (g is gravity and a is acceleration)

here ma is negative so the N= mg-ma

Hence, it feels smaller than its original weight.

When the elevator is moving downward , then the force acting will be positive in nature

N= mg+ma,

here ma will be positive so it feels larger the original weight of passenger.

A 0.80 kg object tied to the end of a 2.0 m string swings as a pendulum. At the lowest point of its swing, the object has a kine
devlian [24]

Answer:

3.32 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, the sum of mechanical and kinetic energy should be equal to the 10 J given. Potential energy is given by mgh where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. For this case, h= l(1-cos\theta) and l is string length, given as 2 m, \theta is given as 50 degrees. Kinetic energy is given by 0.5mv^{2} and it is this velocity that is unknown.

10J=0.5\times 0.8kg\times v^{2}+ 0.8kg\times 9.81\times 2m(1-cos 50^{\circ})\\v\approx 3.32 m/s
