Answer:

B. Light passes through a small opening

Explanation:

Diffraction is one of the properties of wave defined as the bending of wave around corners. It occurs mostly when waves passes through a tiny opening or slit. The type of waveform generated by the wave depends on the type of opening or slit that the medium passes through. The opening can be tiny or large.

Based on the definition, it can be inferred that the situation that causes light waves to diffract is when the light passes through a small opening. For example, the light of a torch passing through a tiny door hole is diffraction.

A body moving with an acceleration 2 m/s?then what is the change in velocity in 4sec.

enot [183]

Answer:

As Per Provided Information

Moving body has 2m/s² acceleration

Time taken by body is 4 second

We are asked to find the 'change in velocity' ( ∆V) by the body.

Formula Used here

$\boxed{\bf{\Delta \: V \: = acceleration \: \times time \:}}$

Substituting the given value

$\sf\longrightarrow\Delta\:V \: = 2 \times 4 \\ \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow\Delta\:V \: =8m {s}^{ - 1}$

Therefore,

Change in velocity is 8 m/s

85) List and discuss the structures of a long bone. 86) Discuss the organization of the five regions of the spine. 87) Explain h

Lisa [10]

85)
The bone structure from outside would be periosteum, cortical, cancellous then medulla. Periosteum is the area outside the bone that will supply nutrition into the outer part of the bone. Cortical is the layer where bone mineral deposition is intense. In this part, the bone is compact and hard. This is the part of the bone that has great strength.
Cancellous is part of the bone where it is not too hard but not too soft. Mineralization is not so dense like cortical layer. That makes this part looks spongy.
In the medulla, most part is made from connective tissue and blood vessels. This part is responsible for the bone vascularization, which means the supply of mineral to the outer part is coming from the medulla. Mineralization is not much in the medulla, makes it not strong. Medulla or marrow also makes blood cells.

86)
The region of the spine would be cervical(neck), thoracal(chest), lumbar(back), sacrum then coccyx. The vertebrae in the neck are smaller since it did not need much strength but need more mobility. Lower part on the thoracal and lumbar is bigger and have a bigger process that will further stabilize the vertebrae. Thoracal vertebrae have a part on their side where the ribs attached. Sacrum shape was a kinda weird because it needs to be able to connect with the pelvis to make buttock. Coccyx the tailbone look like just a small remnant and doesn't seem to have a function in human.

87)
Axis is the name of cervical 2nd vertebral which was located below the atlas, 1st cervical vertebrae. Both of them doesn't have spinal processes that were stabilizing the side of vertebrae Axis also has an odontoid peg which will make the joint with atlas more flexible.
This effect makes the neck can turn to side easily. It also makes neck more mobile vertically, make a nodding movement is possible.
88)
Thre kind of joints would be: Synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and diarthrosis.
In synarthrosis, the joint mostly made by fibrous so that it can move. The example of this joint would be suture in the skull. In children, the skull joint is not closed to permit the head to grow but in the adult, it is closed.
Amphiarthrosis joint permits a small movement. This included the intervertebral disc.
Diarthrosis permit a wide degree of movement. This joint is more complex because it has the synovial membrane. The complex structure makes the joints more durable to shock. This was vital because organ with this join used frequently. The example of this joints would be femur and pelvic(hip) joints. Joints in arm and leg mostly diarthrosis joint.

A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 60.0 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same di

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

velocity during second d = 20.0 mi/h

Explanation:

Total distance travelled is 2d, with an average velocity of 30.0 mi/h you can express the time travelled in terms of d:

distance = velocity * time

time = distance / velocity

time = 2d/30.0

The time needed for the first d at 60.0 is:

time = d/60.0

The time in the second d you can get it by substracting both times (total time - time for the first d)

second d time = 2d/30.0 - d/60.0

= 4d/60.0 - d/60.0

= 3d/60.0

and with the time (3d/60.0) and the distance travelled (d) you can get the velocity:

velocity = distance / time

velocity = d / (3d/60.0)

= 60.0/3 = 20.0 mi/h

In a crossing situation, which vessel is required to maintain its course and speed?

makvit [3.9K]

Both in the domestic and international guidelines tell that when two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to contain risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her starboard side (the give-way vessel) must keep out of the way.

If you are the give-way vessel, it is your responsibility to avoid a collision. Normally, this means you must change speed or direction to cross behind the other vessel which is the stand-on vessel.

At evening, when you perceive a red light crossing right-to-left in front of you, you need to change your course. But if you perceive a green light crossing from left-to-right, you are the stand-on vessel, and should maintain course and speed.

The leading situations of collision risk are meeting head-on, overtaking, and crossing. When one of two vessels is to keep out of the way (give-way vessel), the other, the stand-on vessel, must uphold course and speed.
