If a soundproof door is almost shut but still leaves a small opening, what wave phenomenon is responsible for someone being able to hear sound from the room while standing by the wall to the side of the opening? absorption diffraction reflection refraction.

Aspring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. the spring has a constant k = 30 kn/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.

Acentrifuge in a medical laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,700 rev/min. when switched off, it rotates through 54.0 revolutions before coming to rest. find the constant angular acceleration (in rad/s2) of the centrifuge. your response is within 10% of the correct value. this may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. rad/s2

Sally turns on her cellular telephone to speak to her friend who is located thousands of miles away. which of the following best describes how such a telephone is able to transmit and receive information? a. the cellular telephone transmits, receives, and encodes information using only sound waves. b. the cellular telephone transmits, receives, and encodes information using only electromagnetic waves. c. the cellular telephone transmits information by electromagnetic waves to a receiver which then encodes them and produces sound. d. the cellular telephone transmits information by sound waves to a receiver which then encodes them and produces electromagnetic waves.
