What is the definition of reflection of light?​

Physics
1 answer:
Savatey [412]3 years ago

Answer: Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves.

A wheel free to rotate about its axis that is not frictionless is initially at rest. A constant external torque of +46 N·m is ap
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let Torque due to friction be

F  

Net torque

= 46 - F

Angular impulse = change in angular momentum

=(  46 - F ) x 17  = I X 580

When external torque is removed , only friction creates torque reducing its speed to zero in 120 s so

Angular impulse = change in angular momentum

F  x 120 = I X 580

(  46 - F ) x 17 = F  x 120

137 F = 46 x 17

F = 5.7 Nm

b )

Putting this value in first equation

5.7 x 120 = I x 580

I = 1.18 kg m²

A man paddles a canoe at 6 km per hour. If he paddles on a river with a current of 6 km per hour, what is the speed of the canoe
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is  8.48 [km/h] towards southeast

Explanation:

When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:

Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}

Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]

We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.

Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]

For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.

So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).

Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:

Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]

Copper has a specific heat of 387 J/kg°C. A copper bullet is moving at 950 m/s. If the bullet is suddenly stopped so that all of
Alla [95]

Answer:

1196.02 °C

Explanation:

If the kinetic energy is converted into heat,

then,

Kinetic energy of the copper = heat energy of the copper

1/2m(v²) = cm(t₂-t₁)

where m = mass of copper, v =  velocity of copper, c = specific heat capacity of copper, t₂ = final temperature of copper, t₁ = initial temperature of copper.

Since the mass of copper remains the same,

1/2v² = c(t₂-t₁)

make t₂ the subject of the equation

t₂ = 1/2(v²/c)+t₁..................... Equation 1

Given: v = 950 m/s, c = 387 J/kg°C, t₁ 30 °C

Substitute into equation 1

t₂ = 1/2(950²/387)+30

t₂ = 1196.02 °C

Hence the temperature the bullet reach before it was stopped = 1196.02 °C
