What is diffraction?

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D) the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

Explanation:

Even though light travels in straight line, it will bend around objects if their size is comparative to its wavelength. This phenomenon is called diffraction.

Light will also bend if the light travels from one medium to another medium at an angle, but that is called refraction.

Diffraction occurs in one medium. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another.

A 90 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 17 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and
victus00 [196]

Answer:

a)  t=195.948N.m

b)  \phi=13.6 \textdegree

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density \rho=1.225kg/m^2

Velocity of wind v=14m/s

Dimension of rectangle:50 cm wide and 90 cm

Drag coefficient \mu=2.05

a)

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

F=\frac{1}{2}\muA\rhov^2

F=\frac{1}{2}2.05(50*90*\frac{1}{10000})*1.225*17^2

F=163.29

Therefore Torque

t=F*r*sin\theta

t=163.29*1.2*sin90

t=195.948N.m

b)

Generally the equation for torque due to weight is mathematically given by

t=d*Mg*sin90

Where

d=sin \phi

Therefore

t=sin \phi*Mg*sin90

195.948=833sin \phi

\phi=sin^{-1}\frac{195.948}{833}

\phi=13.6 \textdegree

Model rocket engines are sized by thrust, thrust duration, and total impulse, among other characteristics. A size C5 model rocke
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

v_{f} = 115.95 m / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise of a variable mass system, let's form a system formed by the masses of the rocket, the mass of the engines and the masses of the injected gases, in this case the system has a constant mass and can be solved using the conservation the amount of movement. Which can be described by the expressions

        Thrust = v_{e}  \frac{dM}{dt}

        v_{f}-v₀ = v_{e} ln ( \frac{M_{o} }{M_{f}} )

where v_{e} is the velocity of the gases relative to the rocket

let's apply these expressions to our case

the initial mass is the mass of the engines plus the mass of the fuel plus the kill of the rocket, let's work the system in SI units

       M₀ = 25.5 +12.7 + 54.5 = 92.7 g = 0.0927 kg

     

The final mass is the mass of the engines + the mass of the rocket

      M_{f} = 25.5 +54.5 = 80 g = 0.080 kg

thrust and duration of ignition are given

       thrust = 5.26 N

       t = 1.90 s

Let's start by calculating the velocity of the gases relative to the rocket, where we assume that the rate of consumption is linear

          thrust = v_{e} \frac{M_{f} - M_{o}  }{t_{f} - t_{o}  }

          v_{e} = thrust  \frac{\Delta t}{\Delta M}

          v_{e} = 5.26 \frac{1.90}{0.080 -0.0927}

          v_{e} = - 786.93 m / s

the negative sign indicates that the direction of the gases is opposite to the direction of the rocket

now we look for the final speed of the rocket, which as part of rest its initial speed is zero

            v_{f}-0 = v_{e} ln ( \frac{M_{o} }{M_{f} } )

we calculate

            v_{f} = 786.93 ln (0.0927 / 0.080)

            v_{f} = 115.95 m / s
