Answer:

a crest and a trough meeting

Explanation:

Interference is a phenomenon which occurs when two or more waves come together. Each wave will have a crest (positive amplitude) and a trough (negative amplitude).

If the magnitude of resultant wave’s amplitude is smaller than the original waves, then there is a destructive interference.

It happens if the path difference is integral multiples of half wavelength

Δφ = n (λ/2)

In this case amplitudes of the original waves will have opposite signs.

Since crests have positive amplitude and troughs have negative amplitude they will create a destructive interference

If the magnitude of resultant wave’s amplitude is larger than the original waves, then there is a constructive interference.

It happens if the path difference is integral multiples of the wavelength

Δφ = nλ

In this case amplitudes of the original waves will have same signs.

What are the energy transfers in a torch?

lapo4ka [179]

Explanation:

The battery is a store of internal energy (shown as chemical energy). The energy is transferred through the wires to the lamp, which then transfers the energy to the surroundings as light. These are the useful energy transfers - we use electric lamps to light up our rooms.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The average gauge pressure inside the vein is 110270.58 Pa

Explanation:

This question can be solved using the Bernoulli's Equation. First, in order to determine the outlet pressure of the needle, we need to find the total pressure exerted by the atmosphere and the fluid.

$P_f: fluid's\ pressure\\P_f= \rho g h=1025\frac{kg}{m^3} \times 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 0.9 m=9040.5 Pa \\P_T: total\ pressure\\P_T=P_{atm}+P_f\\P_T=101325 Pa + 9040.5 Pa=110275.5 Pa\\$

Then, we have to find the fluid's outlet velocity with the transversal area of the needle, as follows:

$S: transversal\ area \\S= \pi r^2=\pi (0.200 \times 10^{-3})^2=5.65 \times 10^{-7} m^2\\v=\frac{F}{S}=\frac{5.55 \times 10^{-8} \frac{m^3}{s}}{5.65 \times 10^{-7} m^2}=0.98\times 10^{-1} \frac{m}{s}$

As we have all the information, we can complete the Bernoulli's expression and solve to find the outlet pressure as follows:

$P_T-P_{out}=\frac{1}{2} \rho v^2\\P_{out}=P_T-\frac{1}{2} \rho v^2=110275.5 Pa-\frac{1}{2} 1025\frac{kg}{m^3} (0.98\times 10^{-1} \frac{m}{s})^2=110275.5 Pa-4.92 Pa =110270.58 Pa$

Find the time t2 that it would take the charge of the capacitor to reach 99.99% of its maximum value given that r=12.0ω and c=50

defon

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

R = 12 ohms

C = 500μf.

Time t =? When the charge reaches 99.99% of maximum

The charge on a RC circuit is given as

A discharging circuit

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

Where RC is the time constant

τ = RC = 12 × 500 ×10^-6

τ = 0.006 sec

The maximum charge is Qo,

Therefore Q = 99.99% of Qo

Then, Q = 99.99/100 × Qo

Q = 0.9999Qo

So, substituting this into the equation above

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

0.9999Qo = Qo•exp(-t / 0.006)

Divide both side by Qo

0.9999 = exp(-t / 0.006)

Take In of both sodes

In(0.9999) = In(exp(-t / 0.006))

-1 × 10^-4 = -t / 0.006

t = -1 × 10^-4 × - 0.006

t = 6 × 10^-7 second

So it will take 6 × 10^-7 a for charge to reached 99.99% of it's maximum charge

A scientist compares two samples of white powder. One powder was present at the beginning of an experiment. The other powder was

Jet001 [13]

Density of powder 1 = 0.5 g / 45 cm^3 = 1/90 g/cm^3
Density of powder 2 = 1.3 g / 65 cm^3 = 1/50 g/cm^3

Therefore the densities of the two powders are different, hence chemical reaction has occurred.

(note: none of the other choices make sense. In fact, a different density does not necessarily indicate a chemical change, see paragraph below).

Density of powders are not definitive unless they are each of the same size and texture. For example, granular sugar, rock sugar, and icing sugar all have different densities. I would conclude that this experiment does not lend to a reliable answer.
