Answer:

phase change is by 180 degree

Explanation:

When transverse wave reflects off by a surface of denser medium then its phase will change by 180

so here the phase is reversed when any transverse when get reflected by a denser medium

since water is denser than air so here the light will have phase reversal when it is reflected by a denser medium surface of water

so phase change is by 180 degree

A +2e charge is at the point (-1,0) mm in the x,y plane. A –e charge is at the point (0,1) mm. What is the electric field at the

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Let I and j be the unit vector along x and y axis respectively.

Electric field at origin is given by

E= kq1/r1^2 i + kq2/r2^2j

= 9*10^9*1.6*10^-19*/10^-6*(2i+ j)

= (2.88i + 1.44j)*10^-3 N/C

Force on charge= qE= 3*10^-19*1.6*(2.88i +1. 44 j) *10^-3

F= (1.382 i + 0.691 j) *10^-21

Goodluck

a basketball is tossed upwards with a speed of 5.0 m/s What is the maximum height reached by the basketball from its release poi

den301095 [7]

Answer:

1.275 m

Explanation:

Let the maximum height reached be h.

Here initial velocity, u = 5 m/s

Final velocity, V = 0

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

0 = 25 - 2 × 9.8 × h

h = 25/19.6 = 1.275 m

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let c be the circumference and r be the radius

c = 2πr , r = c / 2π , area A = π r² = π (c/2π )² = (1/4π) x c²

flux (ψ) = BA = 1 X 1/4π X c²

dψ/dt = 1/4π x 2c dc/dt =1/2π x c x dc/dt

at t = 8 s

c = 161 - 13 x 8 = 57 cm , dc/dt = 13 cm/s

e = dψ/dt = (1 / 2π )x 57 x 13 x 10⁻⁴ = 118 x 10⁻⁴ V.

30 POINTS!!! CAN U AWNSER IT?? :)

solniwko [45]

Answer:

5235.84 kg

Explanation:

There is one theorem - whose proof I will never remember without having to drag calculus in there - that says that the variation of momentum is equal to the force applied times the time the application last.

$F\Delta t = m \Delta v$ As long as the engine isn't ejecting mass - at this point it's a whole new can of worm - we know the force, we know the variation in speed, time to find the mass. But first, let's convert the variation of speed in meters per second. The ship gains 250 kmh, $\Delta v = 69.4 m/s$ ;

$45 450 \cdot 8 = 69.4 m \rightarrow m = \frac{45450\cdot 8}{69.4} = 5235.84 kg$

It has been suggested that rotating cylinders several miles in length and several miles in diameter be placed in space and used

stepladder [879]

Answer:

the required revolution per hour is 28.6849

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that the expression for the linear acceleration in terms of angular velocity is;

$a_{c}$ = rω²

ω² = $a_{c}$ / r

ω = √( $a_{c}$ / r )

where r is the radius of the cylinder

ω is the angular velocity

given that; the centripetal acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity a $a_{c}$ = g = 9.8 m/s²

so, given that, diameter = 4.86 miles = 4.86 × 1609 = 7819.74 m

Radius r = Diameter / 2 = 7819.74 m / 2 = 3909.87 m

so we substitute

ω = √( 9.8 m/s² / 3909.87 m )

ω = √0.002506477 s²

ω = 0.0500647 ≈ 0.05 rad/s

we know that; 1 rad/s = 9.5493 revolution per minute

ω = 0.05 × 9.5493 RPM

ω = 0.478082 RPM

1 rpm = 60 rph

ω = 0.478082 × 60

ω = 28.6849 revolutions per hour

Therefore, the required revolution per hour is 28.6849
