Answer:

it travels at a different refractive index.

Explanation:

for example when light travels into water, it slows down, causing it to continue to travel at a different or another angle or direction. hope this helped!

Refraction of light occurs due to the different refractive indices of the medium in which the light travels.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The medium through which the light travels have different refractive indices, because of which the light rays crosses the boundary of the refractive indices. They are shifted from the travelling line according to the refractive index of the medium and hence, refraction is seen.

For example, air is medium with less refractive index as compared to glass, and therefore the light ray when enters into glass, travels slow and refracted from the actual path towards the normal of the ray.

Is it possible for an object to be going 100 miles per hour but have a velocity of zero?
Lesechka [4]
It is possible for on object to be going at 100 miles per hour, but still have a velocity. This is because the object going at 100 miles per hour has speed, which is a scalar quantity, which is defined by only magnitude, but the velocity of the object can be 0, since velocity is a vector quantity which is defined by both magnitude and direction.

Since this object only has magnitude and no direction (which is not given), then the velocity can be 0

A spring-mass system has a spring constant of 3 Nm. A mass of 2 kg is attached to the spring, and the motion takes place in a vi
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The answer to the question

The steady state response is u₂(t) = -\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}cos(3t + π/4)

of the form R·cos(ωt−δ) with R = -\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}, ω = 3 and δ = -π/4

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that the equation of motion is given by

m·u'' + γ·u' + k·u = F(t) where

m = mass = 2.00 kg

γ = Damping coefficient = 1

k = Spring constant = 3 N·m

F(t) = externally applied force = 27·cos(3·t)−18·sin(3·t)

Therefore we have 2·u'' + u' + 3·u = 27·cos(3·t)−18·sin(3·t)

The homogeneous equation 2·u'' + u' + 3·u is first solved as follows

2·u'' + u' + 3·u = 0 where putting the characteristic equation as

2·X² + X + 3 = 0 we have the solution given by \frac{-1+/-\sqrt{23} }{4} \sqrt{-1} =\frac{-1+/-\sqrt{23} }{4} i

This gives the general solution of the homogeneous equation as

u₁(t) = e^{(-1/4t)} (C_1cos(\frac{\sqrt{23} }{4}t) + C_2sin(\frac{\sqrt{23} }{4}t)

For a particular equation of the form 2·u''+u'+3·u = 27·cos(3·t)−18·sin(3·t) which is in the form u₂(t) = A·cos(3·t) + B·sin(3·t)

Then u₂'(t) = -3·A·sin(3·t) + 3·B·cos(3·t) also u₂''(t) = -9·A·cos(3·t) - 9·B·sin(3·t) from which  2·u₂''(t)+u₂'(t)+3·u₂(t) = (3·B-15·A)·cos(3·t) + (-3·A-15·B)·sin(3·t). Comparing with the equation 27·cos(3·t)−18·sin(3·t)  we have

3·B-15·A = 27

3·A +15·B = 18

Solving the above linear system of equations we have

A = -1.5, B = 1.5 and  u₂(t) = A·cos(3·t) + B·sin(3·t) becomes 1.5·sin(3·t) - 1.5·cos(3·t)

u₂(t) = 1.5·(sin(3·t) - cos(3·t) = -\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}·cos(3·t + π/4)

The general solution is then  u(t) = u₁(t) + u₂(t)

however since u₁(t) = e^{(-1/4t)} (C_1cos(\frac{\sqrt{23} }{4}t) + C_2sin(\frac{\sqrt{23} }{4}t) ⇒ 0 as t → ∞ the steady state response = u₂(t) = -\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}·cos(3·t + π/4) which is of the form R·cos(ωt−δ) where

R = -\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}

ω = 3 and

δ = -π/4
