Answer:

Explanation:

example of absorption=sunlight landing on a face is mostly absorbed, warming the skin. example of transmission=light passing through a glass window continues with over 95% of its energy example of reflection=reflection of light, sound and water waves. example of refraction=a bending of the sun's rays as they enter raindrops, forming a rainbow.

Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441

Tasya [4]

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L$ (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
$f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz$
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
$T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L = \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2$

A 45.0 kg ice skater needs a 25 N horizontal force to get moving on a smooth ice surface. What is the coefficient of friction be

SVEN [57.7K]

The horizontal force : f = k*N
k- coefficient of friction
k = f /N
N = m * g = 45 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 441.45 N
k = 25 N : 441.45 N = 0.057
Answer C) 0.057

A physics student swings a pail of water in a vertical circle 1.0 m in radius at a constant speed. If the water is NOT to spill

love history [14]

Answer:

(A) 3.1 m/s

(B) 2.0 s

Explanation:

At the minimum speed, the force of gravity equals the centripetal force.

mg = m v² / r

v = √(gr)

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.0 m)

v = 3.1 m/s

The time is the circumference divided by the speed.

t = (2π × 1.0 m) / (3.1 m/s)

t = 2.0 s

A cat is running at 24 m/s. It then accelerates at 7 m/s2. How long will it take the cat to reach a speed of 49 m/s?

kozerog [31]

Answer:

t should be 3.57 second

Explanation:

Formula used is v = u+at

In which v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Substitute each of the info given into the formula and calculate.

49 = 24 + (7)t

t = 3.57s
