Answer:

A. velocity and wavelength

Explanation:

  • When a wave travels from one medium to another it undergoes a change in direction and this is referred to as refraction.
  • Refraction is the bending of a wave or a change in direction of a wave as it travels from one medium to another. Refraction is accompanied by change in velocity and wavelength of a wave.
  • Velocity of a wave is proportional to the wavelength of the wave therefore, if the velocity of a wave changes the the wavelength will also change proportionally to the velocity.

A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground. The ball leaves his racquet with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle 5.0 ∘ above t
ipn [44]

Answer:

ball clears the net

Explanation:

v_{o} = initial speed of launch of the ball = 20 ms^{-1}

\theta = angle of launch = 5 deg

Consider the motion of the ball along the horizontal direction

v_{ox} = initial velocity = v_{o} Cos\theta = 20 Cos5 = 19.92 ms^{-1}

t = time of travel

X = horizontal displacement of the ball to reach the net = 7 m

Since there is no acceleration along the horizontal direction, we have

X = v_{ox} t \\7 = v_{ox} t\\t = \frac{7}{v_{ox}}       Eq-1

Consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction

v_{oy} = initial velocity = v_{o} Sin\theta = 20 Sin5 = 1.74 ms^{-1}

t = time of travel

Y_{o} = Initial position of the ball at the time of launch = 2 m

Y = Final position of the ball at time "t"

a_{y} = acceleration in down direction = - 9.8 ms⁻²

Along the vertical direction , position at any time is given as

Y = Y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}\\Y = 2 + (20 Sin5) (\frac{7}{20 Cos5}) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (\frac{7}{20 Cos5})^{2}\\Y = 2.00758 m\\

Since Y > 1 m

hence the ball clears the net

Assuming motion is on a straight path, what would result in two positive components of a vector?
Aliun [14]
Answer: option <span>A) a train moving north of east at an angle of 25°
</span>

Explanation:

1) You need to choose your axis. In this case North is vertical and positive, South is vertical and negative, East is horizontal and positive, and West is horizontal and negative.

2) The vector with the two positive components is a vector in the first quadrant (North and East). That is what North of East 25° means.

3) Regarding the other options:

<span>B) a bus moving North of East at an angle of 95°: since the angle is greater tnan 90° the vector is in the second quadrant: its horizontal component is negative.
</span>
<span /><span>
</span><span> C) a boat moving South of West at an angle of 40°: this is in the third quadrant: the two components are negative.</span>
<span /><span>
</span><span> D) a car moving south of west at an angle of 10°: as in the option C), this is in the third quadrant: the two components are negative.
</span>
