How will a wave change as it moves from a layer of lower velocity into a lower layer of higher velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
Dimas [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The wave moves away from the normal

Explanation:

Waves are the disturbances that are able to carry energy from one place to another. These waves can travel in both the denser as well as the rarer medium.

In the denser medium, the waves travel at a slower rate, and on the other hand, in rarer medium, the waves can travel at a comparatively faster rate.

As a wave moves from a layer of low velocity (denser medium such as a liquid) to a layer of high velocity (rarer medium like air), then the waves move away from the normal (perpendicular line) and result in the increase in the velocity of the wave.

You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. the rock passes you on its way down,
MAXImum [283]
Looking for t, the computation would be:
t = 2[initial vertical velocity] / g = 2u/g 
=> 9 = 2u/9.81 
or u = 9 x 9.81 / 2 = 44.16 m/s (upwards) 
conservation of energy: loss in potential energy(mgh) would be equal to gain in kinetic energy (½mv²) 
=> ½mv² - ½mu² = mg29
=> v² = 58(9.81) + 44.16^2
= 568.98 + 1950.1056 = 2519.0856 
getting the square root will give us the speed of the rock, which is:
=> v = √[2519.0856] ~= 50.19 m/s (directed downwards)

Which conditions are high air pressure systems usually associated with
jenyasd209 [6]

Clear, dry weather.

Low air pressure system is associated with air that rises high in the atmosphere (which becomes colder and converted into water vapours). This results in wet and cloudy conditions.

On the contrary, high air pressure system is linked to settled air that does not rise high in the atmosphere. This brings clear and dry conditions as no condensation and precipitation occurs in this case.

A cell membrane has a thickness of about 7 nm. How many cell membranes would it take to make a stack 3.4 in high?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

486 of cell membranes

Explanation:

one cell membrane has 7*10^-9m as the height

So, by dividing 3.4 with 7*10^-9 you will get the number of cell require to form the height.

3.4/(7*10^-9)=485.71

because we can't have decimal number of cell we would round it into three significant figures, 486.

Static cling makes your clothes stick together. what causes this to happen? 1. external forces to the clothes 2. forces of natur
djyliett [7]
This phenomenon is as a result of static friction created by the tumbling clothes. Static friction results from the rubbing together of two or mores objects or body and electrons are stripped from one surface of the clothes more than the other. This creates an electrostatic force of attractions between the positive charges on one cloth and the negative charges on the other cloth.(unlike charges attract).
