The answer is Reflection

Alex73 [517]3 years ago

This property of a wave is reflection. 
Reflection of a wave is the process by which waves such as light, sound , infrared, or radio waves, hits and object and bounces off it. It is the change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two different media so that the wavelength returns into the medium of origin.  From the law of reflection for a specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface is equal to the angle at which it is reflected.

A 0.454-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 21.0 N/m. The
mestny [16]

Answer:

a. Δx = 2.59 cm

Explanation:

mb = 0.454 kg , mp = 5.9 x 10 ⁻² kg , vp = 8.97 m / s , k = 21.0 N / m

Using momentum conserved

mb * (0) + mp * vp = ( mb + mp ) * vf

vf = ( mp / mp + mb) * vp

¹/₂ * ( mp + mb) * (mp / mp +mb) ² * vp ² = ¹/₂ * k * Δx²

Solve to Δx '

Δx = √ ( mp² * vp² ) / ( k * ( mp + mb )

Δx = √ ( ( 5.9 x 10⁻² kg ) ² * (8.97  m /s) ²  / [ 21.0 N / m * ( 5.9 x10 ⁻² kg + 0.454 kg ) ]

Δx = 0.02599 m  ⇒ 2.59 cm

a metal of length 15.04cm is heated until its temperature rises by 65°c. if its new length is 16.00m calculate its linear expans
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

ΔL = L0 C ΔT

We need to find C the constant of expansivity

C = ΔL / (L0 ΔT)

C = .96 / (15.04 * 65) = 9.82 * 10^-4 / deg C

A small water droplet in a mist of air is approximated as being a sphere of diameter 1.25 mil. Calculate the terminal velocity a
shtirl [24]

The terminal velocity as it falls through still air is 4.65154 in/s.

The diameter of small water droplet is 1.25 mil= 1.25×0.0254×10^-3 m

                                                                            = 3.175 × 10^-5 m

Now the viscosity of still air is η = 1.83× 10⁻⁵ Pa

 So the formula for drag force is:

                Fd = 6πηrv

  where,  v is the velocity.

Now to attain terminal velocity acceleration must be zero.

            →  W = Fd

                ρVg = 6πrηv

                ρ × 4/3 πr³×g = 6πrηv

                           v = 2/9 × ρgr³/ η

                           v =  2/9 × 10³×9.81×(3.175×10^-3) / 18.6×10^-6

                           v = 0.1181  m/s

                           v = 4.65154 in/s

A man of mass m 1 5 70.0 kg is skating at v1 5 8.00 m/s behind his wife of mass m 2 5 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 5 4.00 m/s.
ehidna [41]

Answer:

A. Kindly find attached free body diagram for your reference (smiles I guess I will make a terrible artist)

B. The collision is inelastic because both the husband and the wife moved together with same velocity as he grabs her on the waist

C. The general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf

Say mass of husband is m1

Mass of the wife is m2

Velocity of the husband is v1

Velocity of the wife is v2

According to the conservation of momentum principle momentum before impact m1v1+m2v2 =momentum after impact Common velocity after impact (m1+m2)vf

The momentum equation is

m1v1+m2v2= (m1+m2)vf

D. To solve for vf we need to make it subject of formula

vf= {(m1v1) +(m2v2)}/(m1+m2)

E. Substituting our given data

vf=

{(1570*58)+(2550*54)}/(1570+2558)

vf=91060+137700/4120

vf=228760/4120

vf=55.52m/s

Their speed after collision is 55.52m/s
