Light is a very complex phenomenon, but in many situations its behavior can be understood with a simple model based on rays and wave fronts. A ray is a thin beam of light that travels in a straight line. A wave front is the line (not necessarily straight) or surface connecting all the light that left a source at the same time. For a source like the Sun, rays radiate out in all directions; the wave fronts are spheres centered on the Sun. If the source is a long way away, the wave fronts can be treated as parallel lines.

Rays and wave fronts can generally be used to represent light when the light is interacting with objects that are much larger than the wavelength of light, which is about 500 nm. In particular, we'll use rays and wave fronts to analyze how light interacts with mirrors and lenses.

what is the kinetic energy of a 1 kilogram ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 3 m/sec

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Data:
m (mass) = 1 Kg
s (speed) = 3 m/s
Kinetic energy = ? (Joule)

Formula (Kinetic energy)
$E_{k} = \frac{m*s^2}{2}$

Solving:
$E_{k} = \frac{m*s^2}{2}$
$E_{k} = \frac{1*3^2}{2}$
$E_{k} = \frac{1*9}{2}$
$E_{k} = \frac{9}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{E_{k} = 4.5\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

What is the result of two displacement vectors having opposite directions?

jonny [76]

Answer:

Resultant of two vectors having opposite direction is the difference of the two displacements having the same direction as the larger vector. 

Explanation:

Resultant of two vectors is obtained by performing the vector addition operation. When the directions of both vectors are same the resultant’s direction will also be the same as the inputs. When two vectors have opposite directions, one direction will be taken positive making one vector positive and the other negative.

By performing addition of a positive and negative number we are actually taking the difference between both. Thus performing vector addition of two vectors with opposite directions is equivalent to finding the difference between the vectors. Consider a system consisting of a solid block, on which two forces F1 and F2 act in the opposite direction.

One force will be considered positive and the other is considered negative. The resultant is given by the difference of two force vectors. Displacement of the block will be in the direction of the greater force.
