I think the correct answer is refraction. The bending of light when it changes media is called refraction. It is the bending of a wave as it go through a medium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

That's called "refraction".

Possibly, if you have list of densities and you have to match it. I can't think of any other scenarios in which it would be able to.

Hope I helped! :)

Freight car A with a gross weight of 200,000 lbs is moving along the horizontal track in a switching yard at 4 mi/hr. Freight ca
zhenek [66]

Answer: a) 4.7 mi/hr.  b) 86,500 lbs. mi²/Hr²

Explanation:

As in any collision, under the assumption that no external forces exist during the very small collision time, momentum must be conserved.

If the collision is fully inelastic, both masses continue coupled each other as a single mass, with a single speed.

So, we can write the following:

p₁ = p₂ ⇒m₁.v₁ + m₂.v₂ = (m₁ + m₂). vf

Replacing by the values, and solving for vf, we get:

vf = (200,000 lbs. 4 mi/hr + 100,000 lbs. 6 mi/hr) / 300,000 lbs = 4.7 mi/hr

If the track is horizontal, this means that thre is no change in gravitational potential energy, so any loss of energy must be kinetic energy.

Before the collision, the total kinetic energy of the system was the following:

K₁ = 1/2 (m₁.v₁² + m₂.v₂²) = 3,400,000 lbs. mi² / hr²

After the collision, total kinetic energy is as follows:

K₂ = 1/2 ((m₁ + m₂) vf²) = 3,313,500 lbs. mi²/hr²

So we have an Energy loss, equal to the difference between initial kinetic energy and final kinetic energy, as follows:

DE = K₁ - K₂ = 86,500 lbs. mi² / hr²

This loss is due to the impact, and is represented by the work done by friction forces (internal) during the impact.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!
never [62]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

When a rockets thrusters push on the ground the ground pushes back on the rocket with equal force in the opposite direction. Hence the rocket takes off.

Newtons third law of motion states, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Two astronauts are playing catch in a zero gravitational field. Astronaut 1 of mass m1 is initially moving to the right with spe
Ede4ka [16]

The final velocity (v_1_f) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (v_2_f) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts <em>after throwing the ball</em>.

The given parameters;

  • Mass of the first astronaut, = m₁
  • Mass of the second astronaut, = m₂
  • Initial velocity of the first astronaut, = v₁
  • Initial velocity of the second astronaut, = v₂ > v₁
  • Mass of the ball, = m
  • Speed of the ball, = u
  • Final velocity of the first astronaut, = v_f_1
  • Final velocity of the second astronaut, = v_f_2

The final velocity of the first astronaut relative to the second astronaut after throwing the ball is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = m_2v_2_f + m_1v_1_f

if v₂ > v₁, then v_1_f > v_2_f, to conserve the linear momentum.

Thus, the final velocity (v_1_f) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (v_2_f) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts after throwing the ball.
