The answer is refraction. When a wave from one medium enters another medium, its direction changes due to the change of speed (phase velocity changes but frequency remains the same). The wave slows down when it enters a denser medium from the one it came from hence its path seems to bend.

A toy car having mass m = 1.10 kg collides inelastically with a toy train of mass M = 3.55 kg. Before the collision, the toy tra

Answer:

$V_{ft}= 317 cm/s$

ΔK = 2.45 J

Explanation:

a) Using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

$P_i = P_f$

Where:

$P_i=M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it}$

$P_f = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Now:

$M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it} = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Where $M_c$ is the mass of the car, $V_{ic}$ is the initial velocity of the car, $M_t$ is the mass of train, $V_{fc}$ is the final velocity of the car and $V_{ft}$ is the final velocity of the train.

Replacing data:

$(1.1 kg)(4.95 m/s) + (3.55 kg)(2.2 m/s) = (1.1 kg)(1.8 m/s) + (3.55 kg)V_{ft}$

Solving for $V_{ft}$ :

$V_{ft}= 3.17 m/s$

Changed to cm/s, we get:

$V_{ft}= 3.17*100 = 317 cm/s$

b) The kinetic energy K is calculated as:

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

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

So, the initial K is:

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{ic}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{it}^2$

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(4.95)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(2.2)^2$

$K_i = 22.06 J$

And the final K is:

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{fc}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{ft}^2$

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2$

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2$

$K_f = 19.61 J$

Finally, the change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK = Kf - Ki = 22.06 - 19.61 = 2.45 J

A 3 mm inside diameter tube is placed in a fluid with a surface tension of 600 mN/m and density of 3.7 g/cm3. The contact angle

Aleks04 [339]

Answer: The height of the fluid rise is 0.01m

Explanation:

Using the equation

h = (2TcosѲ )/rpg

h= height of the fluid rise

diameter of the tube =3mm

radius of the tube= 3/2 =1.5mm=0.0015

T= surface tension = 600mN/m=0.6N/m

Ѳ = contact angle = $60^o$ C

p= density =3.7g/cm3= 3700kg/m3

g= acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s2

h = ( 2*0.6*0.5)/(0.0015*3700*9.8)

h = 0.6/54.39

h= 0.01m

Therefore,the height of the fluid rise is 0.01m

What object or class of objects makes up most of the solar system’s mass?

Vladimir [108]

Solar system is the gravitationally bound system that consists of the sun and the objects that orbit around it directly or indirectly. These objects includes the planets which orbit the sun directly an other small objects such as meteoroids, asteroids, satellites of the planets and numerous comets. The sun makes up most of the solar system' mass.
