Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. Refraction is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings.

A small sphere is at rest at the top of a frictionless semicylindrical surface. The sphere is given a slight nudge to the right
V125BC [204]

Answer:

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft

- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves

- Initial velocity vi

- Final velocity vf

Find:

Determine the sphere's initial speed.

Solution:

- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R

Where, m: mass of sphere

             g: Gravitational Acceleration

             θ: Angle with the vertical

             N: Normal contact force.

- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R

                         g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R    

                         vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)

                         vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)

                        vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s

- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:

                          ΔK.E = ΔP.E

                          0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))

                          ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 =  vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))

                          vi^2 = 22.744

                           vi = 4.77 ft/s

I stretch a rubber band and "plunk" it to make it vibrate in its fundamental frequency. I then stretch it to twice its length an
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The new frequency (F₂ ) will be related to the old frequency by a factor of one (1)

Explanation:

Fundamental frequency = wave velocity/2L

where;

L is the length of the stretched rubber

Wave velocity = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}

Frequency (F₁) = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}}{2*L}

To obtain the new frequency with respect to the old frequency, we consider the conditions stated in the question.

Given:

L₂ =2L₁ = 2L

T₂ = 2T₁ = 2T

(M/L)₂ = 0.5(M/L)₁ = 0.5(M/L)

F₂ = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{2T}{0.5(\frac{M}{L})}}}{4*L} = \frac{\sqrt{4(\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}})}{4*L} = \frac{2}{2} [\frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}}{2*L}] = F_1

Therefore, the new frequency (F₂ ) will be related to the old frequency by a factor of one (1).

Which of the following equations describes Newton’s second law

C.

Newton’s Second Law is F=ma (force is equal to the mass multiplied by acceleration), however, the equation can be rearranged to isolate and calculate mass from force over acceleration. Therefore, m=F/a
