Why do windows of distant houses appear to reflect the sun only when rising or setting

alisha [4.7K]

<span> most importantly, the sun is reflected back at the same angle as the angle of incidence, so with vertical panes of glass and the sun overhead, the reflection will just hit the ground before traveling any distance. </span>

How long does a radar signal take to travel from earth to venus and back when venus is brightest?

Sergio [31]

Given data :

Velocity of radar signal, v = Velocity of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Greatest distance between Venus and Earth d1 = 0.47 AU = 0.47 AU (a.5 x 10^11 m / 1 AU) = 7.1x10^10 m

Closest distance between Venus and Earth, d2 = 0.28 AU = 0.28 AU (1.5 x 10^11 m / 1 AU)= 4.2 x 10^10 m

The time take by radar signal to travel from Earth to Venus and back when Venus is brightest is calculated as

T1 = 2d1/v = 2(7.a x 10^10 m / 3 x10^8 m/s) = 473 s

The time taken by radar signal to travel from Earth to Venus and back when Venus is closest is calculated as

<span>T2 = 2d1/v = 2 (4.2 x 10^10 m) / 3 x 10^8 m/s = 280 s</span>

Why can we see our breath on a cold winter day

Our breath is so much hotter than the air around us that exhaling produces steam.

a ballistic pendulum is used to measure the speed of high-speed projectiles. A 6 g bullet A is fired into a 1 kg wood block B su

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

(a) v-bullet = 399.04 m/s

(b) I = 2.38 kg m/s

(c) T = 2.59 N

Explanation:

(a) To calculate the initial speed of the bullet, you first take into account that the kinetic energy of both wood block and bullet, just after the bullet impacts the block, is equal to the potential gravitational energy of block and bullet when the cord is at 60° respect to the vertical.

The potential energy is given by:

$U=(M+m)gh$ (1)

U: potential energy

M: mass of the wood block = 1 kg

m: mass of the bullet = 6g = 6.0*10^-3 kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

h: distance to the ground

The distance to the ground is calculate d by using the information about the length of the cord and the degrees of the cord respect to the vertical:

$h=l-lsin\theta\\\\h=2.2m-2,2m\ sin60\°=0.29m$

The potential energy is:

$U=(1kg+6*10^{-3}kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.29m)=2.85J$

Next, the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy of the block and the bullet at the beginning of its motion:

$U=\frac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2\frac{U}{M+m}}=\sqrt{2\frac{2.85J}{1kg+6*10^{-3}kg}}=2.38\frac{m}{s}$

Next, you use the momentum conservation law, in order to calculate the speed of the bullet before the impact:

$Mv_1+mv_2=(M+m)v$ (2)

v1: initial velocity of the wood block = 0m/s

v2: initial speed of the bullet

v: speed of bullet and block = 2.38m/s

You solve the equation (2) for v2:

$M(0)+mv_2=(M+m)v$

$v_2=\frac{M+m}{m}v=\frac{1kg+6*10^{-3}kg}{6*10^{-3}kg}(2.38m/s)\\\\v_2=399.04\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the bullet before the impact with the wood block is 399.04 m/s

(b) The impulse is gibe by the change in the velocity of the block, multiplied by the mass of the block:

$I=M\Delta v=M(v-v_1)=(1kg)(2.38m/s-0m/s)=2.38kg\frac{m}{s}$

The impulse is 2.38 kgm/s

(c) The force on the cord after the impact is equal to the centripetal force over the block and bullet. That is:

$T=F_c=(M+m)\frac{v^2}{l}=(1.006kg)\frac{(2.38m/s)^2}{2.2m}=2.59N$

The force on the cord after the impact is 2.59N
