Light having a dual nature and acting like both a wave and a particle is the correct statement in this scenario.

<h3>What is Light?</h3>

This refers to the electromagnetic radiation found in the electromagnetic spectrum that is perceived by the human eye and has a dual nature. It doesn't require a medium for its propagation unlike sound.

The dual nature of light is as a result of it behaving like a photon which is why it travels in straight lines.

It also behave like a wave because it undergoes processes such as reflection, refraction etc which are common to waves.

A boy throws a ball into the air at 10.2 m/s. Assuming that only gravity acts on the ball, how high does it rise, in m?
ozzi
Answer: 5.31 meters

Explanation: Use conservation of energy. Initial energy equals final energy. Initially, there is only kinetic energy (because height = 0 initially). At the end, kinetic energy equals 0 because at max height, there is max potential energy and the ball stops moving for a split second.

mgh = .5mv^2
Masses cancel out
gh = .5v^2
(9.8)(h) = .5(10.2^2)
Solve for h. h = 5.31 meters

5) [Honors]A seagull, ascending straight upward at 5.2 m/s, drops a shell when it is 12.5m above the ground. (A)
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

(B) 13.9 m

(C) 1.06 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5.2 m/s

y₀ = 12.5 m

(A) The acceleration in free fall is -9.8 m/s².

(B) At maximum height, v = 0 m/s.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (5.2 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 12.5 m)

y = 13.9 m

(C) When the shell returns to a height of 12.5 m, the final velocity v is -5.2 m/s.

v = at + v₀

-5.2 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.2 m/s

t = 1.06 s

Imagine two fixed charges on the x axis. Charge one is +q and is located to the left of charge two which is equal to -4q. Where
givi [52]

Answer: B)To the left of the charges.

Explanation: between the charges the electric field will not cancel but will be added since electric field lines from both charges point in the same direction. To the right of the charge the -4q will take over as it’s strength overcomes the strength of the +q charge. At this point the magnitude of +q will never reach a magnitude strong enough to cancel the -4q. To the left, it is further away from -4q and is closer to +q and electric field lines point in different direction

IBM has a fast computer that it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do '136.8
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

138.6 megacalculations

Explanation:

This is a pretty straightforward one.

All it needs is to convert the degree of measurement.

Dimensions in physics are attributed names, which state the power to which they're are raised. Just as how

Kilo and Mega means the numbers are raised to the power of 3 and 6 respectively. There also exists the ones that indicates how small, such as milli and micro, which are to the powers of -3 & -6.

The question says the IBM computer calculates at an astonishing 136.8 teracalculations.

Tera in physics means it's raised to the power of 12. Thus, the IBM calculates at an astonishing rate of

136.8*10^12 calculations per second.

We're then asked how many calculations it does in 1 micro second. Like I had highlighted earlier, 1 micro second is 1 raised to the power of -6. Or succinctly put,

1 micro second = 1*10^-6.

If the IBM does

138.6*10^12 = 1 second,

Then it does

x = 1*10^-6 second.

When we cross multiply, we have

138.6*10^12 * 1*10^-6, and that is

138.6*10^6 calculations, or say, 138.6 megacalculations.

The IBM does 138.6 megacalculations in 1 micro second, which is still astonishing, by the way
