Define Refraction and give some knowlegde about it

Physics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]3 years ago
7 0
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave, caused by the change in the wave's speed. Examples of waves include sound waves and light waves. Refraction is seen most often when a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. Different types of medium include air and water. When a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, the wave will change its speed and its direction. For example, when a light wave travels through air and then passes into water, the wave will slow and change direction.

HELP PLEASE 20 POINTS SHOW WORK, ALL EQUATIONS
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

s = 3 m

Explanation:

Let t be the time the accelerating car starts.

Let's assume the vehicles are point masses so that "passing" takes no time.

the position of the constant velocity and accelerating vehicles are

s = vt = 40(t + 2)  cm

s = ½at² = ½(20)(t)² cm

they pass when their distance is the same

½(20)(t)² = 40(t + 2)

10t² = 40t + 80

0 = 10t² - 40t - 80

0 = t² - 4t - 8

t = (4±√(4² - 4(1)(-8))) / 2(1)

t = (4± 6.928) / 2  ignore the negative time as it has not occurred yet.

t = 5.464 s

s = 40(5.464 + 2) = 298.564 cm

300 cm when rounded to the single significant digit of the question numerals.

Scenario
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1) t = 23.26 s,  x = 8527 m, 2)   t = 97.145 s,  v₀ = 6.4 m / s

Explanation:

1) First Scenario.

After reading your extensive problem, we are going to solve it, for this exercise we must use the parabolic motion relationships. Let's carry out an analysis of the situation, for deliveries the planes fly horizontally and we assume that the wind speed is zero or very small.

Before starting, let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

         v₀ = 250 miles/h (5280 ft / 1 mile) (1h / 3600s) = 366.67 ft/s

         y = 2650 m

Let's start by looking for the time it takes for the load to reach the ground.

         y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

in this case when it reaches the ground its height is zero and as the plane flies horizontally the vertical speed is zero

         0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t2

          t = \sqrt{ \frac{2y_o}{g} }

          t = √(2 2650/9.8)

          t = 23.26 s

this is the horizontal scrolling time

          x = v₀ t

          x = 366.67  23.26

          x = 8527 m

the speed at the point of arrival is

         v_y = v_{oy} - g t = 0 - gt

         v_y = - 9.8 23.26

         v_y = -227.95 m / s

Module and angle form

        v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

         v = √(366.67² + 227.95²)

        v = 431.75 m / s

         θ = tan⁻¹ (v_y / vₓ)

         θ = tan⁻¹ (227.95 / 366.67)

         θ = - 31.97º

measured clockwise from x axis

We see that there must be a mechanism to reduce this speed and the merchandise is not damaged.

2) second scenario. A catapult located at the position x₀ = -400m y₀ = -50m with a launch angle of θ = 50º

we look for the components of speed

           cos θ = v₀ₓ / v₀

           sin θ = v_{oy} / v₀

            v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

            v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

we look for the time for the arrival point that has coordinates x = 0, y = 0

            y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

            0 = y₀ + vo sin θ t - ½ g t²

            0 = -50 + vo sin 50 t - ½ 9.8 t²

            x = x₀ + v₀ₓ t

            0 = x₀ + vo cos θ t

            0 = -400 + vo cos 50 t

podemos ver que tenemos un sistema de dos ecuación con dos incógnitas

          50 = 0,766 vo t – 4,9 t²

          400 =   0,643 vo t

resolved

          50 = 0,766 ( \frac{400}{0.643 \ t}) t – 4,9 t²

          50 = 476,52 t – 4,9 t²

          t² – 97,25 t + 10,2 = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

         t = [97.25 ± \sqrt{97.25^2 - 4 \ 10.2}] / 2

         t = 97.25 ±97.04] 2

         t₁ = 97.145 s

         t₂ = 0.1 s≈0

the correct time is t1 the other time is the time to the launch point,

         t = 97.145 s

let's find the initial velocity

         x = x₀ + v₀ cos 50 t

         0 = -400 + v₀ cos 50 97.145

         v₀ = 400 / 62.44

         v₀ = 6.4 m / s
