The result of a wave generator traveling faster than the speed of a wave is:

Physics

Answer:

Shock wave.

Explanation:

A wave that will travel faster than the speed of sound. It will generate regions where the pressure is high, in the medium in which the wave travels.

As the wave travels faster than  the sound wave, in that medium compressional waves pile up and will result in regions of high pressure. The source that  generates the  shock waves will be moving ahead of the waves that are produced by it.

Suppose an air craft travels faster than the speed of sound, it will generate shock waves.

A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is  \Delta \theta =  0.93 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The angle of incidence is  \theta  _ i  = 56^o

     The refractive index of violet light  in diamond  is  n_v = 2.46

       The refractive index of red light in diamond is n_r = 2.41

      The wavelength of violet light is  \lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m

         The wavelength of red  light is  \lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m

Snell's  Law can be represented mathematically as

         \frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n

Where \theta_r is the angle of refraction

=>       sin \theta_r  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}

Now considering violet light

               sin \theta_r__{v}}  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}

substituting values

                sin \theta_r__{v}}  =   \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}

                 sin \theta_r__{v}}  =  0.337

                 \theta_r__{v}}  =  sin ^{-1} (0.337)

                 \theta_r__{v}}  =  19.69^o

Now considering red light

               sin \theta_r__{R}}  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}

substituting values

                sin \theta_r__{R}}  =   \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}

                 sin \theta_r__{R}}  =  0.344

                 \theta_r__{R}}  =  sin ^{-1} (0.344)

                 \theta_r__{R}}  = 20.12^o

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

                  \Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} -  \theta_r__{V}}

substituting values

                  \Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69

                  \Delta \theta =  0.93 ^o

What is the acceleration of an object with a mass of 15 kg and a coefficient of friction of 0.18
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

a = 1.764m/s^2

Explanation:

By Newton's second law, the net force is F = ma.

The equation for friction is F(k) = F(n) * μ.

In this case, the normal force is simply F(n) = mg due to no other external forces being specified

F(n) = mg = 15kg * 9.8 m/s^2 =  147N.

F(k) = F(n) * μ = 147N * 0.18 = 26.46N.

Assuming the object is on a horizontal surface, the force due to gravity and the normal force will cancel each other out, leaving our net force as only the frictional one.

Thus, F(net) = F(k) = ma

26.46N = 15kg * a

a = 1.764m/s^2

Using at least 3 to 4 complete content related sentences describe the first and second postulate of special relativity.
Andrew [12]
Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. As such, perceptions of objects and time change as they approach light speed, but the laws of physics remain consistent regardless of speed. Objects will appear shortened and time will appear to slow down around an observer approaching near light speeds, but all quantities still exist as they did before and all causality is preserved, even if observers in different points or traveling at different speeds will report different things.
