Answer:

1. The best definition of refraction is ____.

a. passing through a boundary

b. bouncing off a boundary

c. changing speed at a boundary

d. changing direction when crossing a boundary

Answer: D

Bouncing off a boundary (choice b) is reflection. Refraction involves passing through a boundary (choice a) and changing speed (choice c); however, a light ray can exhibit both of these behaviors without undergoing refraction (for instance, if it approaches the boundary along the normal). Refraction of light must involve a change in direction; the path must be altered at the boundary.

Oscilloscope amplitude and frequency problem. Study the above graph. The volts/div dial is set to 2 volts/div and the time/div d

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Amplitude = 8 Volts

Frequency = 0.067 kHz

Explanation:

Note: The missing picture in question is attached for your review.

Given:

Volts/Div = 2 V/div

Time/Div = 5 msec/div

Finding Amplitude:

Now, as you can see in the attached picture, there are 4 division between two peaks of the waveform, so,

$Amplitude = 4 div/volts * 2 volts/ div )\\Amplitude = 8 Volts$

(Multiplying by 2 V/div because oscilloscope dial is set at 2 V/div)

Finding Frequency:

As can be seen in attached picture, 3 division are there for one complete cycle of waveform,so,

$Time Period = 3 div * 5msec /div\\Time Perod = 15 msec$

Since,

$Frequency = \frac{1}{Time Period}\\Frequency = \frac{1}{15m}\\Frequency = 0.067 kHz$

an object is producing a sound that has a wavelength in air of 2.69m. If the speed of sound in air is 346m/s, what is the freque

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

129.74 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Wave velocity ( v ) = 346 m / sec

wavelength ( λ ) = 2.69 m

We have to calculate Frequency ( f ) :

We know:

v = λ / t [ f = 1 / t ]

v = λ f

= > f = v / λ

Putting values here we get:

= > f = 346 / 2.69 Hz

= > f = 34600 / 269 Hz

= > f = 129.74 Hz

Hence, frequency of sound is 129.74 Hz.

What average force is needed to accelerate a 7.00-gram pellet from rest to 155 m/s over a distance of 0.600 m along the barrel o

leonid [27]

Answer: The force needed is 140.22 Newtons.

Explanation:

The key assumption in this problem is that the acceleration is constant along the path of the barrel bringing the pellet from velocity 0 to 155 m/s. This means the velocity is linearly increasing in time.

The force exerted on the pellet is

F = m a

In order to calculate the acceleration, given the displacement d,

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\implies a=\frac{2d}{t^2}$

we will need to determine the time t it took for the pellet to make the distance through the barrel of 0.6m. That time can be determined using the average velocity of the pellet while traveling through the barrel. Since the velocity is a linear function of time, as mentioned above, the average is easy to calculate as:

$\overline{v}=\frac{1}{2}(v_{end}-v_{start})=\frac{1}{2}(155-0)\frac{m}{s}=77.5\frac{m}{s}$

This value can be used to determine the time for the pellet through the barrel:

$t = \frac{d}{\overline{v}}=\frac{0.6m}{77.5\frac{m}{s}}\approx0.00774s$

Finally, we can use the above to calculate the force:

$F = ma = m\frac{2d}{t^2} = 0.007kg\cdot \frac{2\cdot 0.6 m}{0.00774^2 s^2}\approx 140.22N$
