Wave reflection occurs when waves reflect or rebound off of a surface. This is like an echo because the sound waves are reflected from a distant surface

Answer:

- at boundaries between two different media

Explanation:

Reflection is one phenomenon that occurs with waves. Reflection can occur when a wave meets the boundary between two different media: when this happens, the wave bounces back into the first media, but changing direction.

In fact, there is a precise relationship between the original direction of the wave and its final direction: calling "angle of incidence" the angle between the original direction and the normal to the surface, and "angle of reflection" the angle between the final direction and the normal to the surface, we have that

angle of reflection = angle of incidence

and this is called "law of reflection".

lara [203]

At the ground the ball will always have velocity along the direction of gravity. If upward motion is taken positive it will always have negative velocity at the ground because, if the ball was given an initial upward velocity then gravity will decelerate it and bring it down with a negative final velocity. If the ball is given an initial downward velocity then the ball will be further accelerated by gravity in the downward direction only, again maintaining negative direction. The magnitude however in both cases will be different. the final velocity at the ground will have higher magnitude in case of elevator moving downwards.

Which property of X-rays allows them to enter our bodies and create pictures of our bones and other internal structures?
Degger [83]

Answer:

(A) Their high energy

Explanation:

The higher the energy of the x-ray the more "likely" they will pass through.

The x-ray is electromagnetic energy caused by energy changes in an electron.

X-ray are energetic and have enough energy to break up molecules. That is what reveals the bad or damaged cells in our body.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V=15.3 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the energy conservation theorem:

U_e+K_i+U_{gi}+W_{friction}=K_f+U_{gf}

the elastic potencial energy is given by:

U_e=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2\\U_e=\frac{1}{2}*1100N/m*(4m)^2\\U_e=8800J

The work is defined as:

W_{friction}=F_f*d*cos(\theta)\\W_{friction}=40N*2.5m*cos(180)\\W_{friction}=-100J

this work is negative because is opposite to the movement.

The gravitational potencial energy at 2.5 m aboves is given by:

U_{gf}=m*g*h\\U_{gf}=60kg*9.8*2.5\\U_{gf}=1470J

the gravitational potential energy at the ground and the kinetic energy at the begining are 0.

8800J+0+0+-100J=\frac{1}{2}*62kg*v^2+1470J\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(8800J-100J-1470J)}{62kg}}\\v=15.3m/s

A wall has a negative charge distribution producing a uniformhorizontal electric field. A small plastic ball of mass .01kg carry
Sauron [17]

Answer:

a)  E = -4 10² N / C , b) x = 0.093 m, c)     a = 10.31 m / s², θ=-71.9⁰

Explanation:

For that exercise we use Newton's second Law, in the attached we can see a free body diagram of the ball

X axis

             F_{e} - T_{x} = m a

Axis y

            T_{y} - W = 0

Initially the system is in equilibrium, so zero acceleration

            Fe = T_{x}  

            T_{y} = W

Let us search with trigonometry the components of the tendency

            cos θ = T_{y} / T

            sin θ = T_{x}  / T

           T_{y} = cos θ

           T_{x}  = T sin θ

We replace

            q E = T sin θ

            mg = T cosθ

             

a) the electric force is

                F_{e} = q E

                E = F_{e} / q

                E = -0.032 / 80 10⁻⁶

                E = -4 10² N / C

b) the distance to this point can be found by dividing the two equations

                q E / mg = tan θ

                θ = tan⁻¹ qE / mg

Let's calculate

              θ = tan⁻¹ (80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01 9.8)

              θ = tan⁻¹ 0.3265

               θ = 18 ⁰

               sin 18 = x/0.30

               x =0.30 sin 18

               x = 0.093 m

c) The rope is cut, two forces remain acting on the ball, on the x-axis the electric force and on the axis and the force gravitations

X axis

           F_{e} = m aₓ

            aₓ = q E / m

           aₓ = 80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01

           aₓ = 3.2 m / s²

Axis y

           W = m a_{y}

           a_{y} = g

           a_{y} = 9.8 m/s²

The total acceleration is can be found using Pythagoras' theorem

             a = √ aₓ² + a_{y}²

             a = √ 3.2² + 9.8²

             a = 10.31 m / s²

The Angle meet him with trigonometry

               tan θ = a_{y} / aₓ

               θ = tan⁻¹ a_{y} / aₓ

               θ = tan⁻¹ (-9.8) / 3.2

               θ = -71.9⁰

Movement is two-dimensional type with acceleration in both axes
