Which type of wave would actually slow down when moving from the air into the ocean?

Physics

The correct answer to the question is : Light or any electromagnetic wave.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand refraction.

Refraction is the optical phenomenon in which light ray will bend at the interface of the two media having different optical densities.

When light ray comes from optical rarer medium to optical denser medium, the ray will bend towards the normal. It is so because the velocity of light in rarer medium is more than velocity of light in denser medium.

When the light comes from optical denser medium to optical rarer medium, the light ray bends away from the normal. It is so because the velocity of light increases in the rarer medium.

As per the question, wave is moving from air to ocean, and its velocity slows down.

Hence, there is refraction. So, the wave must be light or any electromagnetic wave.

A river flowing steadily at a rate of 175 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam can
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

Explanation:

The formula for power is P= dhrg

Where P = Power in watts

d = density of water (1000 kg/m^3)

h = height in meters

r = flow rate in cubic meters per second,

g = acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s^2,

Plugging in the known values,

we get

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 80 m * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 80000 kg/m^2 * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 14000000 kg m/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 137200000 kg m^2/s^3

P = 137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

The above figure assumes 100% efficiency which is impossible. A good efficiency would be 90% so the actual power available would be close to 0.90 * 137200 = 123480 kilowatts

What happens to the electric potential energy of a negatively charged ion as it moves through the water from the negative probe
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is the potential energy which is associated with the configuration of points charge in a system and it is the result of conservative coulomb force.

When the negatively charge ion is at the position of the negative probe than its potential energy is positive when it is move towards the positive probe it's potential energy becomes negative due to the negative ion.

Therefore, potential energy is decreases when negative charge ion moves through the water from negative probe to positive probe.

I don’t understand how to do this
anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

A) Use Hooke's law to find the spring constant.

F = kx

40 N = k (0.4 m)

k = 100 N/m

B) Period of a spring-mass system is:

T = 2π √(m / k)

T = 2π √(2.6 kg / 100 N/m)

T = 1 s

Frequency is the inverse of period.

f = 1 / T

f = 1 Hz

The dispatcher of courier service receives a message from truck A that reports a position of +5 after a displacement of +2. What
Romashka [77]

The formula we need to use is displacement.

d=\Delta{x}=x_f-x_i, where xf is final position and xi is initial position.

We report the final position of 5 and the displacement of 2 so the formula is now:

2=5-x_i\Longrightarrow x_i=3.

So the initial position of truck A is 3.

Hope this helps.
