Answer:

The medium is what the ray is traveling through.

Explanation:

"Medium" is just another word for the space surrounding the ray. For example, if a ray of light is traveling through water, water would be the medium the light ray is traveling through.

Se lanza una pelota de hule elástica de masa mA con una velocidad VAi contra la puerta trasera de un camión muy pesado de masa m

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

$v_{A}=v_{Ai}$

Explanation:

The total momentum of the system must conserve by the law of momentum conservation.

$p_b=p_a\\\\m_Av_{Ai}+m_Bv_{Bi}=m_Av_{A}+m_Bv_{B}$ ( 1 )

If you consider the shock between the ball and the truck as totally elastic, and also if the truck is much more massive than the ball, you can assume that the truck does not move when the ball hits it.

Then the truck is always at rest

Hence, you have in the expression ( 1 ):

$m_Av_{Ai}+0=m_Av_{A}+0\\\\v_{Ai}=v_{A}$

A barge floating in fresh water (rho = 1000 kg/m^3) is shaped like a hollow rectangular prism with base area A = 550 m^2 and hei

patriot [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

When empty , H₀ length of barge is inside water .

volume of barge inside water = A x H₀

Weight of displaced water = AH₀ x ρ x g

Buoyant force = weight of displaced water = AH₀ ρg

It should balance the weight of barge

Weight = buoyant force

Weight = AH₀ ρg

mass of barge = weight / g

weight / g = AH₀ ρ

= 550 x .55 x 1000

= 302500 kg
