Explanation:

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels and displacement of the medium is in the same (or opposite) direction of the wave propagation. Mechanical longitudinal waves are also called compressional or compression waves, because they produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium, and pressure waves, because they produce increases and decreases in pressure.

When the flashlight is in the air and the refracted ray enters the water, how does the angle of refraction compare with the angl

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The refracted angle will be less than the angle of incidence and the speed of light is slower in the new medium (which is water) and is closer to the normal.

Try remembering this by using FST SFA (Fast Sofa)

Fast -> Slow = Towards the normal

Slow -> Fast = Away from normal

Perform the following mathematical operation and report answer to the correct number of significant figures 143.6 divided by 21.

Svetllana [295]

The answer to the correct number of significant figures is 6.774.

<h3>What is quotient?</h3>

When a number(big) divided smaller number, the answer obtained greater than zero is called a quotient.

Divide 143.6 ÷ 21.2

143.6/21.2 = 1436/212

=6.77358

The quotient is rounded to three significant figures after decimal

143.6 ÷ 21.2 = 6.774

Thus, the answer to the correct number of significant figures is 6.774

The altitude of the International Space Station ttt minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by \qquad

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

T = 92.8 min

Explanation:

Given:

The altitude of the International Space Station t minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by:

$A(t) = 415 - sin(\frac{2*\pi (t+23.2)}{92.8})$

Find:

- How long does the International Space Station take to orbit the earth? Give an exact answer.

Solution:

- Using the the expression given we can extract the angular speed of the International Space Station orbit:

$A(t) = 415 - sin({\frac{2*\pi*t }{92.8} + \frac{23.2*2*\pi }{92.8} )$

- Where the coefficient of t is angular speed of orbit w = 2*p / 92.8

- We know that the relation between angular speed w and time period T of an orbit is related by:

T = 2*p / w

T = 2*p / (2*p / 92.8)

Hence, T = 92.8 min
