Why do you think fixed boundaries ""flip"" waves and loose boundaries do not?

Answer:

When the obstacle is fixed, the law of action and reaction, makes the reflected wave is inverted.

When the obstacle is mobile, he mobile point, it moves in the direction of the wave, therefore there is no inversion of it.

Explanation:

Waves when they reach an obstacle behave like a shock, therefore if we use the conservation of momentum the wave must reverse its speed, this explains that the speed changes sign, the wave is reflected.

When the obstacle is fixed, the wave when it reaches the obstacle exerts a force on the point, by the law of action and reaction the point exerts on the wave a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction, this reaction force which makes the reflected wave is inverted.

When the obstacle is mobile, this is without friction, when the wave arrives it exerts a force on the mobile point, it moves in the direction of the wave, reaching the maximum amplitude of the incident wave, when it is reflected the point begins to go down along with the wave, therefore there is no inversion of it.

A projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched. which initial velocity will result
Serhud [2]

The required initial velocity that will result if a projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched is V₀ = V cosθ

First, we must understand that the component of the velocity along the vertical is due to maximum height achieved and expressed as usin θ.

The component of the velocity along the horizontal is due to the range of the object and is expressed as ucosθ.

If the <u>air resistance is ignored</u>, the velocity of the object will be constant throughout the flight and the initial velocity will be equal to the final velocity.

Hence the required initial velocity that will result if a projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched is V₀ = V cosθ

What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 11.0 m and the downward accel
8090 [49]
<span>When an object moves in a circle, the acceleration points toward the center of the circle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. We can use a simple equation to find centripetal acceleration. a = v^2 / r We can use this same equation to find the speed of the car. v^2 = a * r v = sqrt { a * r } v = sqrt{ (1.50)(9.80 m/s^2)(11.0 m) } v = 12.7 m/s The speed of the roller coaster is 12.7 m/s</span>
