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

Answer:

Vf = 3.67 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

$v_{f} ^{2} =v_{i} ^{2} -(2*a*x)$

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 4.3 [m/s]

a = acceleration or desacceleration = 0.5 [m/s²]

x = distance = 5 [m]

Note: The negative sign in the above equation means that the velocity of the ball is decreasing (desacceleration).

Now replacing:

Vf² = (4.3)² - (2*0.5*5)

Vf² = 18.49 - 5

Vf² = 13.49

using the square root, we have.

Vf = 3.67 [m/s]

The circuit below represents four resistors connected to a 12-volt source. What is the total current in the circuit? 4.0Ω 6.0Ω 1

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

For series connected resistors I = 0.5A

For parallel connected resistors I = 8.5A

Explanation:

Since the diagram is not available, our solution will be divided into two;

According to ohm's law which states that "the current passing through a,metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends. Mathematically, E = IRt where;

E is the electromotive force

I is the total current in the circuit

Rt is total equivalent resistance.

Where E = 12volts

Rt can be gotten depending on the arrangements of the resistors which can either be in series or parallel.

If the resistors are in series, their equivalent resistance gives;

Rt = 4.0Ω+6Ω+8Ω+6Ω

Rt = 24Ω

The current I will be;

I = E/Rt = 12/24

I = 0.5A

If the connection is in series, the total current in the circuit will be 0.5A.

For resistance in parallel;

1/Rt = 1/4Ω+1/6Ω+1/8Ω+1/6Ω

1/Rt = 6+4+3+4/24

1/Rt = 17/24

Rt = 24/17Ω

I = E/Rt

I = 12/(24/17)

I = 12×17/24

I = 8.5A

If the connection is in parallel, the total current in the circuit will be 8.5A
