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.

An ice cream machine produced 44 ice creams per minute. After reconditioning, its speed increase to 55 ice creams per minute. By

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

an ice cream machine produced 44 ice cream per minute.

Now, after reconditioning it speeds up to 55 ice cream per minute.

=> 55 - 44 = 11

=> 11 / 44 = 0.25

=> 0.25 * 100% = 25%.

thus it increased it production to 25%.

You need to remove a broken light bulb from a lamp. without a pair of gloves, you are likely to cut yourself on the jagged glass

mojhsa [17]

<span>You have just demonstrated an insight learning. Internal insight occurs if one learned a new way without the help of environmental factors. In here, what the person initially learned that if one saw a broken light bulb from a lamp, he can be cut through the jagged glass if one does not wear a pair of gloves. And maybe because at the moment, the person could not find one, he felt using a cut potato to pick up the pieces of the broken lamp. This is a demonstration of insight learning. The person found a way to pick up the pieces of the broken lamp by using his instinct at the moment. The person is not influenced by an outside source to tell him to use a potato. </span>

A 5.0 kg block hangs from the ceiling by a mass-less rope. A Second block with a mass of 10.0 kg is attached to the first block

gayaneshka [121]

The tension in the first and second rope are; 147 Newton and 98 Newton respectively.

Given the data in the question

Mass of first block; $m_1 = 5.0kg$

Mass of second block, $m_2 =10kg$

Tension on first rope; $T_1 =\ ?$

Tension on second rope; $T_2 =\ ?$

To find the Tension in each of the ropes, we make use of the equation from Newton's Second Laws of Motion:

$F = m\ *\ a$

Where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration ( In this case the block is under gravity. Hence ''a" becomes acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8m/s^2$ )

For the First Rope

Total mass hanging on it; $m_T = m_1 + m_2 = 5.0kg + 10.0kg = 15.0kg$

So Tension of the rope;

$F = m\ * \ g\\\\F = 15.0kg \ * 9.8m/s^2\\\\F = 147 kg.m/s^2\\\\F = 147N$

Therefore, the tension in the first rope is 147 Newton

For the Second Rope

Since only the block of mass 10kg is hang from the second, the tension in the second rope will be;

$F = m\ * \ g\\\\F = 10.0kg \ * 9.8m/s^2\\\\F = 98 kg.m/s^2\\\\F = 98N$

Therefore, the tension in the second rope is 98 Newton
