Charina says that when waves interact with an object, they will interfere with the object, and that when waves interact with oth

er waves, they will reflect off each other. Do you agree with her? Why or why not?

No, she has it backward.  Waves interfere with each other and reflect off objects.  When two waves overlap their amplitudes add.  If they have the same sign this addition is constructive, meaning the amplitudes grow.  If they have opposite signs this constitutes subtraction and the waves can partially, or completely cancel.  This is known as interference.  Reflection occurs when waves travel from one medium to another.  If the wave impedance of the new medium is different (which it generally is) there will be a partial, or even total, reflection.

Sample Response:<span> I disagree with her, because interference happens when waves interact with other waves. Reflection happens when waves interact with an object and bounce off it.</span>

How much does it cost to operate a 25-w soldering iron for 8.0 hours if energy costs 8.0¢/kwh?
melamori03 [73]
The power P is defined as the energy E per unit of time t:
P= \frac{E}{t}
In our problem, the power is P=25 W and the total time is t=8.0h, so we can calculate the total energy used during this time:
E=Pt=(25 W)(8.0 h)=200 Wh=0.2 kWh
The energy costs 8€ per each kwh, so we can write the following proportion:
8€: 1kwh = x:0.2 kWh
where x is the price corresponding to 0.2 kWh. Solving the proportion we find x:
x= \frac{(8€)(0.2 kWh)}{1kWh}=1.6€

A hockey puck of mass m traveling along the x axis at 4.5 m/s hits another identical hockey puck at rest. If after the collision
TEA [102]

Answer:

D) No, since kinetic energy is not conserved.

Explanation:

Since momentum is always conserved in all collision

so in Y direction we can say

0 = m(3.5 sin30) - mv_y

v_y = 1.75 m/s

Now similarly in X direction we will have

m(4.5) = m(3.5 cos30 ) + mv_x

v_x = 1.47 m/s

now final kinetic energy of both puck after collision is given as

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}m(3.5^2) + \frac{1}{2}m(1.75^2 + 1.47^2)

KE_f = 8.73 m

initial kinetic energy of both pucks is given as

KE_i = \frac{1}{2}m(4.5^2) + 0

KE_i = 10.125 m

since KE is decreased here so it must be inelastic collision

D) No, since kinetic energy is not conserved.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree is y and the distance of tree from point B is x.

According to the diagram

tan61 = \frac{y}{x}

x = 0.55 y ..... (1)

tan49.5 = \frac{y}{50+x}

(50 + 0.55y) 1.17 = y ..... from equation (1)

58.5 + 0.644 y = y

0.356 y = 58.5

y = 164.3 ft
