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 spring is hanging from the ceiling. When a 250 gram of mass is attached to the free end, the spring elongates by 5 cm. The spr

Answer:

k = 49 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg

When the mass is attached to the end of the spring, it elongates 5 cm or 0.05 m. We need to find the spring constant. Let it is k.

The force due to mass is balanced by its weight as follows :

mg=kx

$k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{0.25\times 9.8}{0.05}\\\\k=49\ N/m$

So, the spring constant of the spring is 49 N/m.

Differences between freezing point and melting point (Atleast 5 differences)

labwork [276]

Answer:

What is freezing point?

A liquid's freezing point is determined at which it turns into a solid. Corresponding to the melting point, the freezing point often rises with increasing pressure. In the case of combinations and for some organic substances, such as lipids, the freezing point is lower than the melting point. The first solid which develops when a combination freezes often differs in composition from the liquid, and the development of the solid alters the composition of the remaining liquid, typically lowering the freezing point gradually. Utilizing successive melting and freezing to gradually separate the components, this approach is used to purify mixtures.

What is melting point?

The temperature at which a purified substance's solid and liquid phases may coexist in equilibrium is referred to as the melting point. A solid's temperature goes up when heat is added to it until the melting point is achieved. The solid will then turn into a liquid with further heating without changing temperature. Additional heat will raise the temperature of the liquid once all of the solid has melted. It is possible to recognize pure compounds and elements by their distinctive melting temperature, which is a characteristic number.

The difference between freezing point and melting point:

While a substance's melting point develops when it transforms from a solid to a liquid, a substance's freezing point happens when a liquid transforms into a solid when the heat from the substance is removed.
When the temperature rises, the melting point can be seen, and when the temperature falls, the freezing point can be seen.
When a solid reaches its melting point, its volume increases; meanwhile, when a liquid reaches its freezing point, its volume decreases.
While a substance's freezing point is not thought of as a distinctive attribute, its melting point is.
While external pressure is a significant component in freezing point, atmospheric pressure is a significant element in melting point.
Heat must be supplied from an outside source in order to reach the melting point for such a state shift. When a material is at its freezing point, heat is needed to remove it from the substance in order to alter its condition.

How do I solve such problem???

pashok25 [27]

As far as I'm concerned, this is a bogus question, or at least a severely corrupted one.

The three numbers given can NOT all be true on Earth.

-- It rolled off the table at 7.6 m/s . By golly, there you are! Its initial horizontal velocity is 7.6 m/s, and it has no vertical velocity until it leaves the table.

-- There are no horizontal forces that we're aware of acting on the object. So it maintains the same horizontal velocity for the rest of the story. It's 10.5m away from the table in (10.5 m) / (7.8 m/s) = 1.35 second .

-- Vertically, it's just an object dropped from 17.6m off the floor. Shockingly, the distance it falls in time 'T' is (1/2 g) T². In 1.35 second, that's 8.88 meters ! . . . only about halfway to the floor !

-- In order to fall 17.6 m to the floor, it would need 1.89 seconds. In that length of time, however, it would travel (7.8 m/s) x (1.89 s) = 14.78 m away from the base of the table.

So you see, either . . .

-- the table is NOT 17.6m tall, or

-- the object does NOT roll off of the table at 7.8 m/s, or

-- it does NOT land 10.5 m away from the base of the table.

OR . . .

-- the table is not on Earth, and gravity is not 9.8 m/s² !

We often see questions posted on Brainly with not enough given information, OR with some information given that's not needed because it's not involved the answer.

THIS one is different, and it's unusual. In this one, we have too much given information, we can't ignore any of it because it's all related, but it's inconsistent and it CAN't all be true.

(Unless the whole story takes place on a mystery planet that is not Earth. Which I'm not going to take the time and effort right now to figure out what the acceleration of gravity has to be in order to make all of the given information compatible.)

Two plane mirrors are separated by 120°, as the drawing illustrates. If a ray strikes mirror M1 at a θ1 = 64° angle of incidence

tino4ka555 [31]

Angle, θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

Explanation:

Given-

θ1 = 64°

So, α will also be 64°

According to the figure:

α + β = 90°

So,

β = 90° - α

= 90° - 64°

= 26°

β + γ + 120° = 180°

γ = 180° - 120° - β

γ = 180° - 120° - 26°

γ = 34°

γ + δ = 90°

δ = 90° - γ

δ = 90° - 34°

δ = 56°

According to the law of reflection,

angle of incidence = angle of reflection

θ2 = δ = 56°

Therefore, angle θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°
