Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Refraction is defined as the process by which a wave changes its direction of propagation and bends towards the normal when moves from a rarer medium to a denser medium. The light after entering the new medium bends towards the normal. This process takes place due to the change in the wave speed and also due to the change in its wavelength.

As the waves enter a denser medium (such as glass) from the rarer medium (such as air), the wave speed decreases and so its wavelength also decreases. The speed and wavelength here are directly proportional to each other. It is because there are more particles in the denser medium that obstructs the direction of wave propagation.

Thus, the correct answer is an option (D).

6. The momentum of a 30.0 g bird with a speed of 12 m.s-1 is 0.36 kg.m.s-1. What will be its momentum 12s later if a constant .0
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial momentum = .36 kg.m.s⁻¹

negative impulse = force x time = .02 x 12 = .24 kg.m.s⁻¹

final momentum - initial momentum = impulse

final momentum = initial momentum + impulse

= .36 - .24

= .12 kg.m.s⁻¹

A 73-kg Norwegian olympian ski champion is going down a hill sloped at 39 ◦ . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sk
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

net force on the skier = mg sin 39 - μ mg cos39

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 )

= 73 x 9.8 ( .629 - .116)

= 367 N

impulse = net force x time = change in momentum .

= 367 x 5 = 1835 kg m /s

velocity of the skier after 5 s = 1835 / 73

= 25.13 m /s

b )

net force becomes zero

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 ) = 0

μ = tan39

= .81

c )

net force becomes zero , so he will continue to go ahead with constant speed of 25.13 m /s

so he will have speed of 25.13 m /s after 5 s .
