Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed squared)

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (400 kg) (17 m/s)²

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (400 kg) (289 m²/s²)

Kinetic energy = 57,800 Joules

(That's some amazing house. I'd like to be there to see it.)

Answer:

D. refraction

Explanation:

Refraction: Refraction is change in direction of light rays. Refraction occurs whenever light rays travels from a transparent medium to another transparent medium of different density. The abrupt change in direction at the surface of the surface of the two media is referred to as refraction.

Refraction occurs when light travels from air to glass or from air to liquid.

Laws Of Refraction:

(i) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal, all at the point of incident lies in the same plane.

(ii) The ratio of the sine of the angle of incident to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media.

Thus the right option is D. refraction

A violinist is tuning her instrument to concert A (440 Hz). She plays the note while listening to an electronically generated to

Soloha48 [4]

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to beat frequency, i.e., The number of those wobbles per second.

The equation that describes the beat frequency is

$f_{beat} = |f_2-f_1|$

For our given case we have that the frequency of the instrument is 440Hz and the Beat frequency is 5Hz therefore,

A) The frequency of the violin would be given by

$f_{beat} = |f_2-f_1|$

$5Hz = |f_2-440Hz|$

$f_2 = 440 \pm 5$

$f_2 = 445Hz or 435Hz$

B) The violinist must loosen the string. As the tightening increases the frequency, thereby increasing the number of beats from 5 to 6, i. e, on thightening the string, the frequency further increases as high frequency will be produced by short trings.

A metal wire of resistance R is cut into eight equal pieces that are then placed together side by side to form a new cable with

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

R / 64

Explanation:

Let he length of the wire is L and its resistance is R.

The resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. As the wire is cut into 8 equal pieces so the resistance of small wire is R/8.

Now they are connected in parallel.

The equivalent resistance is given by

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= 8\times \frac{8}{R}$

$R_{eq}=\frac{R}{64}$

Thus, the equivalent resistance of the new cable is R / 64.
