<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>

Reflection;

  • Bounces back from an opaque material
  • Bounces back from the boundary of two mediums
  • Seen in mirrors

Refraction;

  • Passes through a prism  
  • Moves from one medium to another  
  • Seen in lenses

Reflection refers to the bouncing of waves such as light waves. It involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier.

Refraction is the bending of waves when they move from one medium to another. It involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another.

5. Find the mass of a car that is traveling at a velocity of 35 m/s West.
sattari [20]

Answer:

m = 9795.9 kg

Explanation:

v = 35 m/s

KE = 6,000,000 J

Plug those values into the following equation:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

6,000,000 J = (1/2)(35^2)m

---> m = 9795.9 kg

What is one advantage of using electromagnets instead of permanent magnets
zimovet [89]
The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

If the electron has half the speed needed to reach the negative plate, it will turn around and go towards the positive plate. Wh
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

 v = -v₀ / 2

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use kinematics relations.

Let's use the initial conditions to find the acceleration of the electron

            v² = v₀² - 2a y

when the initial velocity is vo it reaches just the negative plate so v = 0

           a = v₀² / 2y

now they tell us that the initial velocity is half

          v’² = v₀’² - 2 a y’

          v₀ ’= v₀ / 2

at the point where turn v = 0              

          0 = v₀² /4  - 2 a y '

          v₀² /4 = 2 (v₀² / 2y)  y’

          y = 4 y'

          y ’= y / 4

We can see that when the velocity is half, advance only ¼ of the distance between the plates, now let's calculate the velocity if it leaves this position with zero velocity.

         v² = v₀² -2a y’

         v² = 0 - 2 (v₀² / 2y) y / 4

         v² = -v₀² / 4

         v = -v₀ / 2

We can see that as the system has no friction, the arrival speed is the same as the exit speed, but with the opposite direction.
