Physics

Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is the third option

Explanation:

To reflect means to bounce off. When an incoming ray (called incident ray) gets to a boundary and bounces off the boundary, that is referred to as reflection. However, when an incident ray passes through the boundary and it causes a change in the direction of propagation of the wave, that is referred to as refraction. Thus, the correct option, as explained above, is; <u>In reflection, rays bounce off a boundary, and in refraction, rays pass through a boundary</u>.

Calculate the acceleration of a car (in m/s^2) that accelerates from 0 to 30 m/s in 6 s along a straight road.
tester [92]

Answer: 5 m/s^2

Explanation: In order to solve this question we have to use the kinematic equation given by:

Vf= Vo+a*t  where V0 is zero.

we know that it takes Vf( 30 m/s) in 6 seconds

so

a=(30 m/s)/6 s= 5 m/s^2

You dip your finger into a pan of water twice each second,producing waves with crests that are separated by 0.17 m.
____ [38]

Answer:

a) 2Hz

b) 0.5seconds

c) 0.34m/s

Explanation:

a) Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations completed by a wave in one second.

If my finger is dipped into a pan of water twice each second, it means that my hand has made 2 oscillations through the water in one second. An oscillation is a to and fro movement of a particle, body or wave through a medium.

Based on the conclusion, the frequency of the waterwaves will be 2Hertz or 2cycles/sec.

2) Period T of a wave is defined as the time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation. It is the reciprocal of the frequency of a wave.

T = 1/F

Given frequency = 2Hertz

T = 1/2

T = 0.5seconds

Period of the water wave is 0.5seconds

c) speed of the wave v is expressed according to the relationship:

velocity = frequency × wavelength

Given:

Frequency = 2Hertz

Wavelength = 0.17m (Since it is the difference between two successive crest or trough of a wave)

Velocity = 2×0.17

Velocity = 0.34m/s

Sandra's target heart rate zone is 135bpm—172bpm. Marissa's target heart rate zone is 143bpm—176bpm. They stop playing basketbal
Feliz [49]

Answer: Neither Sandra nor Marissa will be in her THR zone.


Explanation:


1) Actual pulse of both Sandra and Marissa : 144 bpm


2) Decrease of 20 bpm ⇒ 144 bpm - 20 bpm = 124 bpm


3) Sandra's TRH is in the range 135 - 172 bpm.


Since 124 < 135, she will be below the range.


4) Marissa's TRH range is 143 - 176 bpm.


Since, 124 < 143, she is below the range


In conlusion, neither Sandra nor Marissa will be in her THR zone.
