A change in the direction of a wave when the wave finds and obstacle or an edge, such as an opening, bending waves around a barrier is called *diffraction*.

Diffraction. Can be seen in a school "ripple tank experiment". Plane/straight water waves approach an obstacle. At the edges of the obstacle, the waves will be seen to "bend" or to "spread" into what "should" be the shadow of the obstacle. Same thing happens with all waves going to barriers with the correct geometry.

How much thermal energy is created when a 3000 kg suv brakes to a stop from 20 m/s on a level road?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

b. 600,000 J

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of energy,

The thermal energy created = Kinetic energy of the suv.

Q' = 1/2(mv²)............... Equation 1

Where Q' = Thermal energy, m = mass of the suv, v = velocity of the suv.

From the question,

Given: m = 3000 kg, v = 20 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q' = 1/2(3000×20²)

Q' = 600000 J

Hence the right option is b. 600,000 J

What is resonance in sound​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: Resonance in sound is when one object is vibrating at the same frequency to the second object of forces to the second frequency.

Explanation:

"Acoustic resonance is a phenomenon in which an acoustic system amplifies sound waves whose frequency matches one of its own natural frequencies of vibration (its resonance frequencies)." wikipedia I hope this helps you!

An atom of sodium-23 (atomic number = 11) has a positive charge of +1. Given this information, how many
12345 [234]
It has a 10 electrons. Since it's atomic number is 11 it must have 11 protons. Also, given that it has a +1 charge, it has one less electron than protons since they have equal but opposite charges. The number of protons is the mass number minus the atomic number = 23-11= 12 neutrons.

Can someone help me with this Physics question please?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this, the easy one, is

N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H} where No is the initial amount of the element, t is the time in years, and H is the half life. Filling in:

N=48.0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{49.2}{12.3} and simplifying a bit:

N=48.0(.5)^4 and

N = 48.0(.0625) so

N = 3 mg left after 12.3 years
