There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: d sin θ = nλ

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.

What's the Coulomb's law?

Ulleksa [173]

In layman's term: like charges don't attract while opposite charges doelectrostatic forces between point A( which is charged) and point B (which is also charged) are proportional to the charge of point A and point B. there is also something else about this law that I don't quite remember.

___________________________________________________

Here is the formula:

F = k x Q1 x Q2/d^2

What the formula means:

F=force between charges

Q1 and Q2= amount of charge

d=distance between these two charges

k= Coulombs constant (proportionally constant)

I think that about covers it and hopefully this helped.

A 58.0-kg projectile is fired at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 140 m/s from the top of a cliff

strojnjashka [21]

(a) $6.43\cdot 10^5 J$

The total mechanical energy of the projectile at the beginning is the sum of the initial kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U):

$E=K+U$

The initial kinetic energy is:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m = 58.0 kg is the mass of the projectile and $v=140 m/s$ is the initial speed. Substituting,

$K=\frac{1}{2}(58 kg)(140 m/s)^2=5.68\cdot 10^5 J$

The initial potential energy is given by

$U=mgh$

where g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and h=132 m is the height of the cliff. Substituting,

$U=(58.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(132 m)=7.5\cdot 10^4 J$

So, the initial mechanical energy is

$E=K+U=5.68\cdot 10^5 J+7.5\cdot 10^4 J=6.43\cdot 10^5 J$

(b) $-1.67 \cdot 10^5 J$

We need to calculate the total mechanical energy of the projectile when it reaches its maximum height of y=336 m, where it is travelling at a speed of v=99.2 m/s.

The kinetic energy is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(58 kg)(99.2 m/s)^2=2.85\cdot 10^5 J$
