Answer :Waves change direction when encountering boundaries in both reflection and refraction.

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.

An ice sled powered by a rocket engine starts from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at +44 ft/s2. After some time t1,
mash [69]

Answer:

a) t₁ = 4.76 s, t₂ = 85.2 s

b) v = 209 ft/s

Explanation:

Constant acceleration equations:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

v = at + v₀

where x is final position,

x₀ is initial position,

v₀ is initial velocity,

a is acceleration,

and t is time.

When the engine is on and the sled is accelerating:

x₀ = 0 ft

v₀ = 0 ft/s

a = 44 ft/s²

t = t₁

So:

x = 22 t₁²

v = 44 t₁

When the engine is off and the sled is coasting:

x = 18350 ft

x₀ = 22 t₁²

v₀ = 44 t₁

a = 0 ft/s²

t = t₂

So:

18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) t₂

Given that t₁ + t₂ = 90:

18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) (90 − t₁)

Now we can solve for t₁:

18350 = 22 t₁² + 3960 t₁ − 44 t₁²

18350 = 3960 t₁ − 22 t₁²

9175 = 1980 t₁ − 11 t₁²

11 t₁² − 1980 t₁ + 9175 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

t₁ = [ 1980 ± √(1980² - 4(11)(9175)) ] / 22

t₁ = 4.76, 175

Since t₁ can't be greater than 90, t₁ = 4.76 s.

Therefore, t₂ = 85.2 s.

And v = 44 t₁ = 209 ft/s.

Newton’s second law is a=F/m this is what we will be using to solve this
However first you need to convert g to kg
100g= 0.1kg

0.05/0.1=0.5 m/s^2

a sealed cylinder contains a sample of ideal gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm. The rms speed of the molecules is v0. If the rms spee
fredd [130]

Answer:

P_2 = 1.62 atm

Explanation:

We know the formula for the rms speed of the ideal gas is  given by

v_{rsm}=\sqrt{\frac{3PV}{m} }

P= pressure of the surrounding

V= volume of the vessel

m= mass of the gas

Now, From this formula rms speed (v_rms) is directly proportional to square root is pressure.

Then  

\frac{v_{rsm,1}}{v_{rsm,2}} =\sqrt{\frac{P_1}{P_2} }

given that v_rsm,1= v0

and v_rsm,2=0.9v0

putting these values we get

\frac{v0}{0.9v0} =\sqrt{\frac{2}{P_2} }

P_2 = 1.62 atm
