How are the interference patterns for light through a double slit and light through a single slit similar yet different
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: In double slit case, you need to understand superposition on waves emerging from dirrerent slit.

Explanation: When passing a single slit, wave spread in all directions.

In double slit waves with equal wavelength travel different path and distance  

trey travel is different . Waves meet each other in different positions in different phases. If phase are same, waves have contructive interference, crests of waves meet in same point. Amplitudes of waves are added together. If waves are in opposite phases, sum of amplitudes

ame subtacted and this is destructive interference. Sum of amplitudes are zero.

A pendulum that moves through its equilibrium position once every 1.000 s is sometimes called a “seconds pendulum.” what is the
horrorfan [7]
The equilibrium position for a pendulum is straight down. If it moves through that position every second then its period is actually 2 seconds. This is because the period is how long it takes to go from one extreme and back again. It will pass through the equilibrium point twice when doing this. Once on the way down and again on the way back.

What happens to the inertia of an object of its mass is decreased?
Verizon [17]
 <span>The inertia of an object increases if the mass is decreased. Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest. It is represented numerically by an object's mass.</span>

Which physical property of matter depends on push
liberstina [14]

Answer:

I would say contact forces

Explanation:

This questions is kind of missing some info but I do know that contact forces need to be either pushed or pulled for a force to happen.

Hope this helped

When an object is at rest, it might have several forces acting on it. however,?
SSSSS [86.1K]
For the object to be moving, there must be a value for the forces acting on this object in a certain direction to cause the object to move.

On the other hand, when an object is at rest, despite the possibility of having several forces acting on it, these forces balance out to a net force of zero which keeps the body still with no motion.
