Why is the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front zero?​

Answer:

The contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of the wave front is zero because of something known as the Obliquity Factor. It is assumed that the amplitude of the secondary wavelets is not independent of the direction of propagation, Sources: byju's.com

According to the Voigt and Kirchhoff's law for wavelets, the contribution of a wavelet in any direction making an angle x with the normal to the wavelet is proportional to {1+cos(x)/2)}

For wavelet lying on the back of secondary wavefront,

  • x = 180°

→ So, the proportional factor:

→ {1+cos(180°)/2}

→ (1-1/2)

→ (0/2)

→ 0

That's why the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front is zero

State Pascal's principle of transmission of pressure​
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Pascal's law (also Pascal's principle or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure) is a principle in fluid mechanics given by Blaise Pascal that states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.

1. The picture below shows Jamal pushing with a 100-Newton (N) force on a large box. Neither
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

100 newtons

Explanation:

Given,

Jamal pushing a large box by a force, F = 100 N

Work done on the large box is, W = 0

It is because the applied force is less than the force of the friction between the two surfaces.

Yet, there will be a force that is exerted by the large box on Jamal.

According to newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction force is in the direction opposite to the force of action. But, their magnitude remains the same.

                                        F_{a} =-F_{r}

Hence, If the action force is 100 N, then the reaction force should be in 100 N

3. Why does any bonding occur (this includes ionic bonding and covalent bonding)?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:im not sure but hope this helps

Explanation:

Covalent bonds are formed because of sharing electrons whereas ionic bonds formation occurs because of transferring of electrons. Molecules are the particles in covalent bonds all through compound formation whereas in ionic bonds these are positively charged and negatively charged ions.

Wind resistance ___as speed increase.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

increases dramatically

Explanation:

due to resistance tends to prevent the motion of a body. When speed increases, the particles of air are set into motion and this energizes them. More air gains increased acceleration and they collide with a body. This initiates a resistance against the motion of such body. for instance, wind resistance increases rapidly as speed increases.
