Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10\,\text{m}10m10, start text, m, end text on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravi
Doss [256]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Basket ball is drop from height

H=10m

It is dropped on planet mass

And the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is given as

g= 3.7m/s²

Time taken for the ball to reach the ground

Initial velocity of the body is zero

u=0m/s

Using equation of motion: free fall

H = ut + ½gt²

10 = 0•t + ½ × 3.7 ×t²

10 = 0 + 1.85t²

10 = 1.85t²

Then, t² =10/1.85

t² = 5.405

t = √ 5.405

t = 2.325seconds

So the time the ball spend on the air before reaching the ground is 2.325 seconds

A 52 N sled is pulled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed. A horizontal force of 36 N is exerted. What is the coefficient
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

μ = 0.692

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.

Attached is an image with the respective forces:

A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.

The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.

The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.

The speed of sound in seawater is 1470 m/s. A dolphin sends out a click that reflects off of an
Nitella [24]

Answer: 0.204 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound V is defined as the distance traveled d in a especific time t:  

V=\frac{d}{t}  

Where:  

V=1470 m/s is the speed of sound  in seawater

t is the time the sound wave travels from the dolphin and then returns after the reflection

d=2(150 m) is twice the distance between the dolphin and the object to which the sound waves are reflected

Finding t:

t=\frac{d}{V}  

t=\frac{2(150 m)}{1470 m/s}

<u>Finally:</u>

t=0.204 s

A pet-store supply truck moves at 25.0 m/s north along a highway. inside, a dog moves at 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of
koban [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

  Speed of truck = 25 m/s north = 25 j m/s

  Speed of dog = 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of north = (1.75 cos 35 i + 1.75 sin 35 j)m/s

                          = (1.43 i + 1.00 j) m/s

    Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 25 j + 1.43 i + 1.00 j = 1.43 i + 26.00 j

    Magnitude of velocity = 26.04 m/s

    Angle from positive horizontal axis = 86.85⁰

 So Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 86.85⁰ east of north = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.
