A certain instant camera determines the distance to the subject by sending out a sound wave and measuring the time needed for th

e wave echo to return to the camera. how long would it take the sound wave to return to the camera if the subject were 3.42 m away? the speed of sound is 343 m/s. answer in units of s.

The total distance covered by the sound wave is twice the distance between the camera and the subject (because the wave has to reach the subject and then travel back to the camera), so 2L, where L=3.42 m. The speed of sound is v=343 m/s. It is a uniform linear motion, so we can use the basic relationship between space (S), time (t) and velocity (v) to find the time the wave needs to return to the camera:
t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{2L}{v}= \frac{2\cdot 3.42 m}{343 m/s}=0.020 s

As more and more resistors are added in parallel to a circuit, the equivalent resistance of the circuit ____________ (increases,
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Decreases, Increases

Explanation:

Resistance is parallel can be calculated using

1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

Then, as more resistor is added in parallel the equivalent resistance is reduced.  

Let use a simple sample

Let all the resistor have equal resistances

Let say R = R1 = R2 = R3 =...Rn

Then, 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

1/Req = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R +.... 1/Rn

Req = R/n

Check attachment on how I got that.

This implies that, the equivalent resistance will always be less than the original resistance, since n>1

So, as n increases (I.e. as the number of resistance increases), the equivalent resistance reduces.

B. Now, to know if the current reduces or increases

Using Ohms law

V = iR

Then, I = V/R

So, let assume the voltage is constant, then, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, so as we know that the resistance is reducing, then the current will be increasing.

So current increase as we add more resistor in parallel to a circuit

Lenz's Law: A coil lies flat on a tabletop in a region where the magnetic field vector points straight up. The magnetic field va
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic field is straight up. It is reducing . As per Lenz's law , direction of induced current is such that it opposes the reason which creates it . magnetic field in upper direction is reducing . So current will be such that magnetic field produced by it increases magnetic field in upper direction . In other words , induced current should create magnetic field in upward direction. It is possible when direction of induced current is  anti - clockwise,  when seen from above.

D. Destructive interference. An easy way to think about it is the waves are opposite each other, so they essentially cancel each other out, or make an effort to.
