8. What are the two types of mechanical waves?

Car a runs a red light and broadsides car b, which is stopped and waiting to make a left turn. car a has a mass of 1,800kg. car

frez [133]

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum is conserved, therefore total initial momentum should be equal to total final momentum. In this case, we can expressed this mathematically as:

mA vA + mB vB = m v

where, m is the mass in kg, v is the velocity in m/s

since m is the total mass, m = mA + mB, we can write the equation as:

mA vA + mB vB = (mA + mB) v

furthermore, car B was at a stop signal therefore vB = 0, hence

mA vA + 0 = (mA + mB) v

1800 (vA) = (1800 + 1500) (7.1 m/s)

Cellular phones use _____?

dangina [55]

Let's see: frequency of cellular phone waves (GSM phones) is (800-1900 MHz). If we look at the table of the electromagnetic spectrum, we can see that this range is contained within the frequencies of the microwaves, which include waves in the range 300 MHz-300 GHz.

So, summarizing, the correct answer is "microwaves".

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

He made great advancements in developing a logical way to know more about the universe and celestial entities inside the space. And this theory is termed to be heliocentric in nature.

Explanation:

In early times most of the people believed that our planet Earth is the center of the universe or the solar system and rest of the celestial entities move around it in a given path, so, it confused the well known scientist named as Galileo Galilei. As, he observed the different dark patches or shadow like textures on the face of the Sun.

While, it is more obvious to known that any object having multiple small shadows means that it is present inside such a region that all of the celestial entities move or orbit around it in a given way.So, he concluded that planet Earth itself move around the red Giant in a given way rather then being the center of the universe.

A camera lens focuses on an object 75.0 cm from the lens. The image forms 3.50 cm behind the lens. What is the magnification of

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Refraction by a Convex Lens

Refraction bends the light downward upon entering the glass because the bottom part of the ray hits the slow medium first.

Light travels more slowly in glass than in air. The amount of bending depends upon the index of refraction of the glass.

Image formation depends upon bending light rays with lenses.

Refraction bends the light downward again upon leaving the glass because the top part of the ray hits the faster medium first.

Magnification:Transverse &Angular

The linear magnification or transverse magnification is the ratio of the image size to the object size. If the image and object are in the same medium it is just the image distance divided by the object distance.

Using the Gaussian form of the lens equation, a negative sign is used on the linear magnification equation as a reminder that all real images are inverted. If the image is virtual, the image distance will be negative, and the magnification will therefore be positive for the erect image.

If the media are different on the two sides of the surface or lens, the magnification is not quite so straigtforward. It can be variously expressed as

In this equation V is the vergence, n is the index of refraction, and u is used for the angle. Note that in this expression for the magnification, the minus sign doesn't appear. In this type of setting, the Cartesian sign convention is typically used and the object distance has a negative value. That takes care of the minus sign that is put in above in the Gaussian form.

The angular magnification of an instrument is the ratio of the angle subtended at the eye when using the instrument divided by the angular size without the instrument. An important example is the simple magnifier. The angular magnification of any optical system can be obtained from the system matrix for the system.
