Answer: The correct answer is "Light or sound waves change direction"

Explanation:

Refraction: Refraction occurs when a light rays gets bend while travelling from one medium to the another medium due to change in the speed of light or change in the direction. From the given options, the best definition of refraction is "Light or sound waves change direction".

Reflection: Reflection occurs when the light rays get reflected back from the obstacle in a same medium without getting absorb or transmit in it.

From the given options, the best definition of reflection is "Light or sound wave bounce off a medium.

Therefore, the correct option is (A).

The answer to this is A. this is because, refraction with a light or sound wave changing its direction involve propagation,(in which propagation is the change in direction of a light or sound wave)

Answer:

\Delta \theta = 56\,rad

\Delta \theta \approx 3208.564^{\circ}

Explanation:

El ángulo barrido en el intervalo de tiempo dado es (The covered angle in the given time interval is):

\Delta \theta = \omega \cdot \Delta t

\Delta \theta = \left(14\,\frac{rad}{s} \rjght)\cdot (4\,s)

\Delta \theta = 56\,rad

\Delta \theta \approx 3208.564^{\circ}

What is the formula for the moment of inertia of the person/single particle rotating in a circle? (Give these values with a subs
Ann [662]

Moment of inertia of single particle rotating in circle is I1 = 1/2 (m*r^2)

The value of the moment of inertia when the person is on the edge of the merry-go-round is I2=1/3 (m*L^2)

Moment of Inertia refers to:

  • the quantity expressed by the body resisting angular acceleration.
  • It the sum of the product of the mass of every particle with its square of a distance from the axis of rotation.

The moment of inertia of single particle rotating in a circle I1 = 1/2 (m*r^2)

here We note that the,

In the formula, r being the distance from the point particle to the axis of rotation and m being the mass of disk.

The value of the moment of inertia when the person is on the edge of the merry-go-round is determined with parallel-axis theorem:

I(edge) = I (center of mass) + md^2

d be the distance from an axis through the object’s center of mass to a new axis.

I2(edge) = 1/3 (m*L^2)
