Answer:

As the particles move further away from their normal position (up towards the wave crest or down towards the trough), they slow down.

Explanation:

This means that some of their kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy – the energy of particles in a wave oscillates between kinetic and potential energy. Hope that this helps you and have a great day :)

A wrench 0.500 m long is applied to a nut with a force of 80.0 N. Because of the cramped space, the force must be exerted upward

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Torque, $\tau=34.6\ N.m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wrench, l = 0.5 m

Force acting on the wrench, F = 80 N

The force is acting upward at an angle of 60.0° with respect to a line from the bolt through the end of the wrench. We need to find the torque is applied to the nut. We know that torque acting on an object is equal to the cross product of force and distance. It is given by :

$\tau=Fr\ sin\theta$

$\tau=80\times 0.5\ sin(60)$

$\tau=34.6\ N.m$

So, the torque is applied to the nut is 34.6 N.m. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the most likely outcome of increasing the number of slits per unit distance on a diffraction grating?1) lines become nar

Nina [5.8K]

It's important to know that diffraction gratings can be identified by the number of lines they have per centimeter. Often, more lines per centimeter is more useful because the images separation is greater when this happens. That is, the distance between lines increases.

<h2>Therefore, the answer is 2.</h2>

he atomic radii of Li and O2- ions are 0.068 and 0.140 nm, respectively. (a) Calculate the force of attraction in newtons betwee

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

$F = -1.07 *10^{-8} \ N$

$F_r = 1.07 *10^{-8} \ N$

Explanation:

Generally the force of attraction between this two irons is mathematically represented as

$F = \frac{k * [Q_{Li} ] * [Q_{O} ] }{ r^2}$

Here k is known as the proportionality constant with value $k = 2.31 * 10^ {-28} J \cdot m$

substituting -2 for $Q_{O}$ i.e the charge on oxygen , +1 for $Q_{Li}$ i.e the charge on Lithium and $[0.140 + 0.068 ] nm= 0.208 nm = 0.208*10^{-9}$ for r
