. Two buses depart from Chicago, one going to New York and one to San Francisco. Each bus travels at a speed of 30 m/s. Do they

have equal velocities? Explain.

Answer:

They don't have equal velocities

Explanation:

We have one bus travelling from Chicago to New York at 30 m/s and one bus travelling from Chicago to San Francisco at 30 m/s.

This is a cheat question. You need to remember that velocity  is a vector. Remember that a vector has a direction and a module. So, the answer will be true, if both buses meet both conditions (direction and module). Let's start to analyze:

Module: In this case is 30 m/s for both buses

Direction: In this case is where the buses are heading. One is going to New York, and one is going to San Francisco. So the directions are different.

As module and direction are not the same for both buses we can say that they don't have equal velocities.

Light from a 560 nm monochromatic source is incident upon the surface of fused quartz (n=1. 56) at an angle of 60°. what is the
ankoles [38]

The angle of reflection is "60°".

Here we apply the law of the concept of reflection then we get the final answer easily.

The angle of incident = angle of reflection

Then, the Angle of the incident =60°

What is reflection?

  • Reflection is the phenomenon of light rays returning to the source after striking an obstruction.
  • It resembles the way a ball bounces when we toss it on a hard surface.
  • Some of the light rays that strike an item are reflected, some of them travel through it, and the remainder are absorbed by the object.
  • The given values are:Light from a monochromatic source,= 560 nm
  • The angle of incidence,= 60°
  • The surface of fused quartz (n),= 1.56
  • When a light ray does exist on a flat surface, the law or idea of reflection should apply since it includes both the reflected and "normal" light rays at the mirror surface.
  • According to the above law,Angle of incident = angle of reflection
  • Then, Angle of incident =60°.

A. In your own words, define what a transverse wave is.
olasank [31]

Answer:

a) From definition a transverse wave is which one where the elements moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave. For example is a wave is moving from the left to the right the elements would be wibrating or moving upward or downward.

We have a lot examples for a transverse wave. For example water waves, strings on the musical instruments , light and radio waves.

b) We can identify a transverse wave if the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Usually these types of wave occur in elastic solids. And we can identify it when we see a pattern perpendicular between the wave direction and the particles motion. In simple words we need to see that the wave is moving down and up.

Explanation:

Part a

Two factor that affect gravitational force​
Gnoma [55]
When dealing with the force of gravity between two objects, there are only two things that are important – mass, and distance. The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.
