When a wave bounces off a barrier and changes direction that is called reflection. Refraction, however occurs when a wave changed mediums, so if a wave were to go from moving in air to moving in water, the wave would change a direction that is based upon the index of refraction of that given medium.

So, if the answer is classifying a medium as a "boundary" then yes, they both change direction, however, a physical boundary only causes a change in direction in reflection.

A particle moves along a straight path through a displacement d = 2.5i + cj while a force F = 8.5i + -8.5j acts on it. The displ
Zanzabum

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is defined as the scalar product of force and distance

W=F•d

Given that

F = 8.5i + -8.5j. +×-=-

F=8.5i-8.5j

d = 2.5i + cj

If the work in the practice is zero, then W=0

therefore,

W=F•ds

0=F•ds

0=(8.5i -8.5j)•(2.5i + cj)

Note that

i.i=j.j=k.k=1

i.j=j.i=k.i=i.k=j.k=k.j=0

So applying this

0=(8.5i -8.5j)•(2.5i + cj)

0= (8.5×2.5i.i + 8.5×ci.j -8.5×2.5j.i-8.5×cj.j)

0=21.25-8.5c

Therefore,

8.5c=21.25

c=21.25/8.5

c=2.5

Why do things become hot or cold?<br> Relate to Thermal Energy and The Law of Conservation of Energy
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Things become hot and cold because of the transfer of energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy possessed by an object or system is called thermal energy and heat is the flow of this energy. While the law of conversation of energy states that energy is not destroyed or created, it just transfers from one object to another.  

When a hot object is placed in normal conditions, it transfers heat to the environment until both are at the same temperature and heat transfers from the environment to the cold objects placed in normal conditions.

If it takes 600 N to move a box 5 meters, how much work is done on the box?
Anika [276]

Answer:

<h2>3000 J</h2>

Option C is the correct option.

Explanation:

Given,

Force = 600 N

Distance = 5 meters

Work = ?

Now,

Work = Force \times distance

= 600  \times 5

Calculate the product

= 3000 \: Joule

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

A steel ball and a piece of clay have equal mass. They are dropped from the same height on a horizontal steel platform. The ball
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The ball (option A)

Explanation: change in momentum is defined by the formulae m(v - u) where m = mass of object, v = final velocity and u = initial velocity.

For the ball, it hits the ground and bounces back with the same speed, that's final velocity equals initials (v = - u)

Change in momentum = m( -u- u) = m(-2u) = m(-2u) = -2mu

For the clay, it final velocity is zero since it sticks to the floor, hence (v =0)

m(v - u) = m(0 - u) = - mu.

-2mu (change in momentum from the ball) is greater than - mu ( change in momentum of clay)
