Lucy is cruising through space in her new spaceship. As she coasts along, a spacebug drifts into her path and bounces off the wi

ndow.
Below are several statements concerning this scenario. Evaluate each statement and decide if it is true, false, or undetermined by the principle of momentum conservation.
i) The total change in momentum for this interaction is zero.
ii) The change in the space bug's momentum is greater than the change in the spaceship's momentum.
iii) If the space bug had stuck to the spaceship instead of bouncing off, momentum would not have been conserved for this interaction.

podryga [215]
We are given with the data that says the probability that a battery will last 10 hr or more is 0.8 and the probability <span>that it will last 15 hr or more is 0.11. In this case, the probability that the battery lasts at least 10 hours and even 15 hrs more is 0.11 / 0.8 or equal to 13.75 percent.</span>

Explain how atomic interactions determine a material to be transparent and opaque?
motikmotik

Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

It should be understood that transparency is caused through or by the transmission of light waves. This means that, If or when the energy known as the vibrational energy of a light wave is passed through the object, then the object appears clear, or transparent. And when or If the energy only causes vibrations in the surface before reflecting off the object, then the object will appear opaque, that is nontransparent.

If a transmission line in a cold climate collects ice, the increased diameter tends to cause vortex formation in a passing wind.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

a) f_1=5.587Hz

b) f_{n+1}-f_n=5.587Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of the n^{th} harmonic of a vibrating string of length <em>L, </em>linear density \mu under a tension <em>T</em> is given by the formula:

f_n=\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}

a) So for the <em>fundamental mode</em> (n=1) we have, substituting our values:

f_1=\frac{1}{2(347m)} \sqrt{\frac{65.4\times10^6N}{4.35kg/m}}=5.587Hz

b) The <em>frequency difference</em> between successive modes is the fundamental frequency, since:

f_{n+1}-f_n=\frac{n+1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}-\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=(n+1-n)\frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=f_1=5.587Hz

What must be true about a surface in order for diffuse reflection to occur?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

carpet

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.

The structure of carpet's surface is as shown. Thus it shows large amount of diffuse reflection.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:The human eye is sensitive to yellow-green light having a frequency of about 5.5*10^{14} ... What is the energy in joules of the photons associated with this light? ... As the wavelength and frequency of a wave are related, we can find the energy ... In order to find this value, we need Planck's Constant, h=6.626×10−34 J⋅s h ...
