C. change length and direction

Explanation:

The density of the material in which the light wave is travelling affects the speed of the wave. Different materials have different densities and they effect differently light waves which travel through them. Light waves may change direction at the boundary between two transparent materials, depending on material density. Density also impacts the speed of light. The denser the material, the slower light travels through it. The wavelength also decreases as light travels through the denser medium.

A wheel moves in the xy plane in such a way that the location of its center is given by the equations xo = 12t3 and yo = R = 2,

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

the velocity of the point P located on the horizontal diameter of the wheel at t = 1.4 s is $P = 104.04 \hat{i} -314.432 \hat{j}$

Explanation:

The free-body diagram below shows the interpretation of the question; from the diagram , the wheel that is rolling in a clockwise directio will have two velocities at point P;

the peripheral velocity that is directed downward $(-V_y)$ along the y-axis

the linear velocity $(V_x)$ that is directed along the x-axis

Now;

$V_x = \frac{d}{dt}(12t^3+2) = 36 t^2$

$V_x = 36(1.7)^2\\\\V_x = 104.04\ ft/s$

Also,

$-V_y = R* \omega$

where $\omega$ (angular velocity) = $\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(8t^4)$

$-V_y = 2*32t^3)\\\\\\-V_y = 2*32(1.7^3)\\\\-V_y = 314.432 \ ft/s$

∴ the velocity of the point P located on the horizontal diameter of the wheel at t = 1.4 s is $P = 104.04 \hat{i} -314.432 \hat{j}$

A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass

makkiz [27]

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s$

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s
