Answer:

A surface wave is a wave that moves along the interface of two different materials, like air and water.

Explanation:

A surface wave (from its name) travels on a surface that is found between two different materials.

The motion of the particles of a surface wave is either in the form of ellipse (elliptical motion) or circle (circular motion.

The motion of the particles of a surface wave is considered to be a combination of both transversal motion and longitudinal motion.

A grating whose slits are 3.2x10^-4 cm apart produces a third-order fringe at a 25.°0 angle. What is the wavelength of light tha

Ber [7]

Answer:

The light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.

Explanation:

let:

n be the order fringe

Ф be the angle that the light makes

d is the slit spacing of the grating

λ be the wavelength of the light

then, by Bragg's law:

n×λ = d×sin(Ф)

λ = d×sin(Ф)/n

λ = (3.2×10^-4 cm)×sin(25.0°)/3

= 4.51×10^-5 cm

≈ 4.51×10^-7 m

Therefore, the light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.

Answer:

The answer to your question is

Explanation:

Data

mass = 0.5kg

T1 = 35

T2 = ?

Q = - 6.3 x 10⁴ J = - 63000 J

Cp = 4184 J / kg°C

Formula

Q = mCp(T2 - T1)

T2 = T1 + Q/mCp

Substitution

T2 = 35 - 63000/(0.5 x 4184)

T2 = 35 - 63000/2092

T2 = 35 - 30.1

T2 = 4.9 °C

A lamp hangs from the ceiling at a height of 2.6 m. The lamp has a mass of 3.8 kg. The screws holding the lamp break, and it fal

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion $v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh$

$v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s$

Since mass = 3.8kg

$K.E = 1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules$

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s
