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.

An elevator motor provides 45.0 kW of power while lifting an elevator 35.0 m. If the elevator contains seven passengers each wit
mylen [45]

Find how much work ∆<em>W</em> is done by the motor in lifting the elevator:

<em>P</em> = ∆<em>W</em> / ∆<em>t</em>

where

• <em>P</em> = 45.0 kW = power provided by the motor

• ∆<em>W</em> = work done

• ∆<em>t</em> = 20.0 s = duration of time

Solve for ∆<em>W</em> :

∆<em>W</em> = <em>P</em> ∆<em>t</em> = (45.0 kW) (20.0 s) = 900 kJ

In other words, it requires 900 kJ of energy to lift the elevator and its passengers. The combined mass of the system is <em>M</em> = (<em>m</em> + 490.0) kg, where <em>m</em> is the mass of the elevator alone. Then

∆<em>W</em> = <em>M</em> <em>g h</em>

where

• <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² = acceleration due to gravity

• <em>h</em> = 35.0 m = distance covered by the elevator

Solve for <em>M</em>, then for <em>m</em> :

<em>M</em> = ∆<em>W</em> / (<em>g h</em>) = (900 kJ) / ((9.80 m/s²) (35.0 m)) ≈ 2623.91 kg

<em>m</em> = <em>M</em> - 490.0 kg ≈ 2133.91 kg ≈ 2130 kg

A pool ball moving 1.83 m/s strikes an identical ball at rest. Afterward, the first ball moves 1.15 m/s at a 23.3 degrees angle.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

 v_{1fy} = - 0.4549 m / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise of conservation of the momentum, for this we must define a system formed by the two balls, so that the forces during the collision have internal and the momentum is conserved

initial. Before the crash

      p₀ = m v₁₀

final. After the crash

      p_{f} = m v_{1f} + m v_{2f}

Recall that velocities are a vector so it has x and y components

       p₀ = p_{f}

we write this equation for each axis

X axis

       m v₁₀ = m v_{1fx} + m v_{2fx}

       

Y Axis  

       0 = -m v_{1fy} + m v_{2fy}

the exercise tells us the initial velocity v₁₀ = 1.83 m / s, the final velocity v_{2f} = 1.15, let's use trigonometry to find its components

      sin 23.3 = v_{2fy} / v_{2f}

      cos 23.3 = v_{2fx} / v_{2f}

      v_{2fy} = v_{2f} sin 23.3

      v_{2fx} = v_{2f} cos 23.3

we substitute in the momentum conservation equation

       m v₁₀ = m v_{1f} cos θ + m v_{2f} cos 23.3

       0 = - m v_{1f} sin θ + m v_{2f} sin 23.3

      1.83 = v_{1f} cos θ + 1.15 cos 23.3

       0 = - v_{1f} sin θ + 1.15 sin 23.3

      1.83 = v_{1f} cos θ + 1.0562

        0 = - v_{1f} sin θ + 0.4549

     v_{1f} sin θ = 0.4549

     v_{1f}  cos θ = -0.7738

we divide these two equations

      tan θ = - 0.5878

      θ = tan-1 (-0.5878)

       θ = -30.45º

we substitute in one of the two and find the final velocity of the incident ball

        v_{1f} cos (-30.45) = - 0.7738

        v_{1f} = -0.7738 / cos 30.45

        v_{1f} = -0.8976 m / s

the component and this speed is

       v_{1fy} = v1f sin θ

       v_{1fy} = 0.8976 sin (30.45)

       v_{1fy} = - 0.4549 m / s

Which of the following is not a property of displacement?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Your correct answer is option C. Displacement is equal to the total distance traveled by an object in motion.

A long jumper can jump a distance of 7.4 m when he takes off at an angle of 45° with respect to the horizontal. Assuming he can
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

0.02 m

Explanation:

R₁ = initial distance jumped by jumper = 7.4 m

R₂ = final distance jumped by jumper = ?

θ₁ = initial angle of jump = 45°

θ₂ = final angle of jump = 42.9°

v = speed at which jumper jumps at all time

initial distance jumped is given as

R_{1}=\frac{v^{2}Sin2\theta _{1} }{g}

final distance jumped is given as

R_{2}=\frac{v^{2}Sin2\theta _{2} }{g}

Dividing final distance by initial distance

\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}}=\frac{Sin2\theta _{1}}{Sin2\theta _{2}}

\frac{R_{2}}{7.4}=\frac{Sin2(42.9)}{Sin2(45))}

R_{2} =7.38

distance lost is given as

d = R_{1} - R_{2}

d = 7.4 - 7.38

d = 0.02 m
