Answer:

Reflection

Explanation:

The wave phenomenon that allows the DVD player to work is REFLECTION.

Reflection is defined as the repropagation of incident light striking a plane surface.

The light ray striking the surface is incident ray while the repropagated light ray is the reflected ray. The DVD was able to play because the laser light that hits the surface of the disk was able to reflect back and returns to the detector. The detector senses the light and cause the DVD to play. If the laser light didn't reflect, assuming it was absorbed by the surface of the disk, the detector wouldn't have detected the light and the DVD wouldn't have played.

A horizontal spring-mass system has low friction, spring stiffness 160 N/m, and mass 0.3 kg. The system is released with an init
anygoal [31]

Answer:

(a) 0.38 m

(b) 2.78 m/s

(c) 0.11 watt

Explanation:

mass, m = 0.3 kg

spring constant, K = 160 N/m

initial compression, d = 12 cm = 01.2 m

initial speed, u = 3 m/s

(a) Let the maximum stretch is y.

Use conservation of energy

Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final potential energy

0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x K x y²

160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 160 x y²

2.304 + 0.00432 = 160 y²

y = 0.38 m

y = 38 cm

(b) Let v is the maximum speed.

The speed is maximum when the stretch in the spring is zero, so by use of conservation of energy

Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy

0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x m x v²

160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 0.3 x v²

2.304 + 0.00432 = 0.3 v²

v = 2.78 m/s

(c) The time period of the spring mass system is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.3}{160}}

T = 0.272 second

Energy dissipated per cycle = 0.03 J

Power, P = 0.03 / 0.272 = 0.11 Watt

Maya made this picture to represent a chemical reaction:
Natalka [10]

The statement that best explains the type of chemical reaction represented by Maya's picture is that it is neither a synthesis reaction nor a decomposition reaction because two reactants form two products. That is option B.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction is the combination of two elements to yield a new product through the formation of bonds.

A chemical reaction is said to be a synthesis reaction when when two different atoms or molecules interact to form a different molecule or compound.

A chemical reaction is said to be a decomposition reaction when one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

Therefore, from the picture, the chemical reaction is neither a synthesis reaction nor a decomposition reaction because two reactants form two products.

Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect? A water bug on the surface of a pond is producing small ripples in t
noname [10]

Answer:

A police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase.

Explanation:

In Physics, Doppler effect can be defined as the change in frequency of a wave with respect to an observer in motion and moving relative to the source of the wave.

Simply stated, Doppler effect is the change in wave frequency as a result of the relative motion existing between a wave source and its observer.

The term "Doppler effect" was named after an Austrian mathematician and physicist known as Christian Johann Doppler while studying the starlight in relation to the movement of stars.

<em>The phenomenon of Doppler effects is generally applicable to both sound and light. </em>

An example of the Doppler effect is a police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase. This is so because when a sound object moves towards you, its sound waves frequency increases, thereby causing a higher pitch. However, if the sound object is moving away from the observer, it's sound waves frequency decreases and thus resulting in a lower pitch.

<em>Other fields were the Doppler effects are applied are; astronomy, flow management, vibration measurement, radars, satellite communications etc. </em>

A car travels for 5.5 h at an average speed<br> of 75 km/h. How far did it travel?<br> T TE
ANEK [815]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 412.5 \ kilometers }}

Explanation:

Distance is the product of speed and time.

d=s*t

The speed of the car is 75 kilometers per hour. It traveled for 5.5 hours.

s= 75 \ km/hr \\t= 5.5 \ hr

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= 75 \ km/hr * 5.5 \ hr

Multiply. Note that the hours will cancel each other out.

d= 75 km * 5.5 \\d= 412.5 \ km

The car travelled <u>412.5 kilometers.</u>
