The bending of waves as they pass between media is called .?
Rufina [12.5K]

Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. Refraction is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings.

A loaded 375 kg toboggan is traveling on smooth horizontal snow at 4.50 m/s when it suddenly comes to a rough region. The region
zmey [24]

Answer:

a) The average friction force exerted on the toboggan is 653.125 newtons, b) The rough region reduced the kinetic energy of the toboggan in 92.889 %, c) The speed of the toboggan is reduced in 73.333 %.

Explanation:

a) Given the existence of non-conservative forces (friction between toboggan and ground), the motion must be modelled by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem, since toboggan decrease its speed (associated with  due to the action of friction. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected due to the inclination of the ground. Then:

K_{1} = K_{2} + W_{f}

Where:

K_{1}, K_{2} are the initial and final translational kinetic energies of the tobbogan, measured in joules.

W_{f} - Dissipated work due to friction, measured in joules.

By applying definitions of translation kinetic energy and work, the expression described above is now expanded and simplified:

f\cdot \Delta s = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2})

Where:

f - Friction force, measured in newtons.

\Delta s - Distance travelled by the toboggan in the rough region, measured in meters.

m - Mass of the toboggan, measured in kilograms.

v_{1}, v_{2} - Initial and final speed of the toboggan, measured in meters per second.

The friction force is cleared:

f = \frac{m\cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2})}{2\cdot \Delta s}

If m = 375\,kg, v_{1} = 4.50\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{2} = 1.20\,\frac{m}{s} and \Delta s = 5.40 \,m, then:

f = \frac{(375\,kg)\cdot \left[\left(4.50\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(1.20\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}\right]}{2\cdot (5.40\,m)}

f = 653.125\,N

The average friction force exerted on the toboggan is 653.125 newtons.

b) The percentage lost by the kinetic energy of the tobbogan due to friction is given by the following expression, which is expanded and simplified afterwards:

\% K_{loss} = \frac{K_{1}-K_{2}}{K_{1}}\times 100\,\%

\% K_{loss} = \left(1-\frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}} \right)\times 100\,\%

\% K_{loss} = \left(1-\frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2}}{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{1}^{2}} \right)\times 100\,\%

\% K_{loss} = \left(1-\frac{v_{2}^{2}}{v_{1}^{2}} \right)\times 100\,\%

\%K_{loss} = \left[1-\left(\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}\right)^{2} \right]\times 100\,\%

If v_{1} = 4.50\,\frac{m}{s} and v_{2} = 1.20\,\frac{m}{s}, then:

\%K_{loss} = \left[1-\left(\frac{1.20\,\frac{m}{s} }{4.50\,\frac{m}{s} }\right)^{2} \right]\times 100\,\%

\%K_{loss} = 92.889\,\%

The rough region reduced the kinetic energy of the toboggan in 92.889 %.

c) The percentage lost by the speed of the tobbogan due to friction is given by the following expression:

\% v_{loss} = \frac{v_{1}-v_{2}}{v_{1}}\times 100\,\%

\% v_{loss} = \left(1-\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} \right)\times 100\,\%

If v_{1} = 4.50\,\frac{m}{s} and v_{2} = 1.20\,\frac{m}{s}, then:

\% v_{loss} = \left(1-\frac{1.20\,\frac{m}{s} }{4.50\,\frac{m}{s} } \right)\times 100\,\%

\%v_{loss} = 73.333\,\%

The speed of the toboggan is reduced in 73.333 %.

An astronaut has a mass of 100 kg and has a weight and if 370 N on Mars. What is the gravitational strength on Mars?
Reika [66]

Answer:

3.7 N/kg

Explanation:

The gravitational strength refers to the amount of gravity acting per unit mass. Hence in this case,

Gravitational Strength = Weight / Mass

= 370 / 100

= <u>3</u><u>.</u><u>7</u><u>N</u><u>/</u><u>k</u><u>g</u>
