Answer:

Explanation:

in physics, the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed. For example, waves in deep water travel faster than in shallow.from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium. Refraction of light is the most commonly observed phenomenon, but other waves such as sound waves and water waves also experience refraction in other words it can be all of them or i can narrow it down some more it can have a change in dirction when light enters into a traveling point for example after moving through air it passes through a prism called compare reflection

olasank [31]

Answer:

M1 V1 = M1 V2 + M2 V3 conservation of momentum

V2 = (M1 V1 - M2 V3) / M1 where V2 = speed of M1 after impact

V2 = (3 * 9 - 1.5 * 5) / 9 = (27 - 7.5) / 9 = 2.17 m/s

Note: All speeds are in the same direction and have the same sign

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?

ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.

Hi there,

To get started, recall the kinematic equations from either a textbook, equation sheet, etc. Kinematic equations are used when acceleration is constant, as stated in the prompt.

Best way to use kinematic equations is to see which variable you are looking for, then which variable is unknown to you and is not needed for that equation.

a) average velocity

Takes the form of:

$v_a_v_g=\frac{d_t_o_t_a_l}{t}=\frac{v+v_0}{2}$ this is the literal definition of average velocity; initial plus final divided by 2.

We know total displacement and total time elapsed, so we will use the middle form of the equation:

$v_a_v_g=\frac{1640m}{40s}=41 \ m/s$

b) the final velocity

We can still use the average velocity formula, as the other two equations that include final velocity have acceleration variable which is unknown as of now.

Solve for final velocity:

$v=(2v_a_v_g)-v_o = 2(41 \ m/s) - (8 m/s) = 74 m/s\\$ this makes sense, since a velocity later in time is higher than a velocity earlier in time. It is increasing with increasing time because of acceleration.

c) the acceleration

There are two equations that can be used to solve this, but we will use the less time-consuming one, but both produce same answer:

$a = \frac{v-v_0}{t_t_o_t_a_l} = \frac{(74-8)m/s}{40s} =1.65 m/s^{2}$

Notice, change in velocity over change in time, and acceleration is constant. When acceleration is constant, it models a linear function, and acc. is just slope!

Study well and persevere. If you liked this solution, hit Thanks or give a rating!

thanks,

We have two solenoids: solenoid 2 has twice the diameter, half the length, and twice as many turns as solenoid 1. The current in

leva [86]

Answer:

the field at the center of solenoid 2 is 12 times the field at the center of solenoid 1.

Explanation:

Recall that the field inside a solenoid of length L, N turns, and a circulating current I, is given by the formula:

$B=\mu_0\, \frac{N}{L} I$

Then, if we assign the subindex "1" to the quantities that define the magnetic field ( $B_1$ ) inside solenoid 1, we have:

$B_1=\mu_0\, \frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1$

notice that there is no dependence on the diameter of the solenoid for this formula.

Now, if we write a similar formula for solenoid 2, given that it has :

1) half the length of solenoid 1 . Then $L_2=L_1/2$

2) twice as many turns as solenoid 1. Then $N_2=2\,N_1$

3) three times the current of solenoid 1. Then $I_2=3\,I_1$

we obtain:

$B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{N_2}{L_2} I_2\\B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{2\,N_1}{L_1/2} 3\,I_1\\B_2=\mu_0\, 12\,\frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1\\B_2=12\,B_1$
