Diffraction, that is the change in the direction of the wave, when it passes through a gap or around an edge. Diffraction is most noticable when the wavelength of the wave is approximately the same size as the hole, the gap

Answer: The correct answer is Diffraction.

Explanation:

Diffraction is the phenomenon in which a beam of light will get bend when it passes through a narrow aperture. It is accompanied by the interference between the wave form produced.

Consider a wave approaching a barrier with a small hole. The diffraction will occur when the wave passes through the hole. There is a bending of light as it passes through the edge of the object or through the hole.

The amount of bending light depends on the relative size of wavelength of the light in comparison to the size of the aperture.

Therefore, the correct answer is Diffraction.

A bullet with a mass of 20 g and a speed of 960 m/s strikes a block of wood of mass 4.5 kg resting on a horizontal surface. The
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

<h2>4.25m/s</h2><h2>E. None of the option is correct</h2>

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum to solve the problem. According to the law, the sum of momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with the same velocity after collision.

Mathematically.

mu + MU = (m+M)v

m and M are the masses of the bullet and the block respectively

u and U are their respective velocities

v is their common velocity

from the question, the following parameters are given;

m = 20g = 0.02kg

u = 960m/s

M = 4.5kg

U =0m/s (block is at rest)

Substituting this values into the formula above to get v;

0.02(960)+4.5(0) = (0.02+4.5)v

19.2+0 = 4.52v

4.52v = 19.2

Dividing both sides by 4.52

4.52v/4.52 = 19.2/4.52

v = 4.25m/s

Since they have the same velocity after collision, then the speed of the block immediately after the collision is also 4.25m/s

A compressor receives air at 290 K, 100 kPa and a shaft work of 5.5 kW from a gasoline engine. It is to deliver a mass flow rate
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

P_2=4091\ KPa

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 290 K

P₁ = 100 KPa

Power P =5.5 KW

mass flow rate

\dot{m}= 0.01\ kg/s

Lets take the exit temperature = T₂

We know that

P=\dot{m}\ C_p (T_2-T_1)

5.5=0.01\times 1.005(T_2-290})\\T_2=\dfrac{5.5}{0.01\times 1.005}+290\ K\\\\T_2=837.26\ K

If we assume that process inside the compressor is adiabatic then we can say that

\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=\left(\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\right)^{0.285}

\dfrac{837.26}{290}=\left(\dfrac{P_2}{100}\right)^{0.285}\\2.88=\left(\dfrac{P_2}{100}\right)^{0.285}\\

2.88^{\frac{1}{0.285}}=\dfrac{P_2}{100}

P_2=40.91\times 100 \ KPa

P_2=4091\ KPa

That is why the exit pressure will be 4091 KPa.
