I'd say diffraction since sound waves can bend around objects like corners. Let's say you're in the hallway and you can hear sound coming from a door. The sound waves diffract around the door and spread out into the hallway, making it possible for you to hear.  
Also, you can hear it before you see it because light waves are shorter than sound waves and hardly diffract around doors.

An apple is placed 20.0 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 10.0 cm. Find the image distance and the magnification o
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Image distance of apple=-6.7 cm

Magnification of apple=0.33

Explanation:

We are given that an apple is placed 20.cm in front of a diverging lens.

Object distance=u=-20 cm

Focal length=f=-10 cm

Because focal length of diverging lens is negative.

We have to find the image distance and magnification of the apple.

Lens formula

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}

Substitute the values then we get

-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{20}

\frac{1}{v}=-\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{20}

\frac{1}{v}=\frac{-2-1}{20}=-\frac{3}{20}

v=-\frac{20}{3}=-6.7 cm

Image distance of apple=-6.7 cm

Magnification=m=\frac{v}{u}=\frac{-\frac{20}{3}}{-20}

Magnification of apple=\frac{1}{3}=0.33

Hence, the magnification of apple=0.33

Define velocity is the question
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of an object's speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60 km/h to the north).

A cart with mass m vibrating at the end of a spring has an extra block added to it when its displacement is x=+A. What should th
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The block's mass should be 3m

Explanation:

Given:

Cart with mass m

From the conservation of energy before mass is added,

  \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2} kA^{2}

Where A = amplitude of spring mass system, k = spring constant

  A = v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Now new mass M is added to the system,

   \frac{1}{2} (m +M ) v^{2}  = \frac{1}{2}  k A^{2}

  A = v \sqrt{\frac{m +M }{k} }

Here, given in question frequency is reduced to half so we can write,

   f' = \frac{f}{2}

Where f = frequency of system before mass is added, f' = frequency of system after mass is added.

        \omega ' = \frac{\omega}{2}

\sqrt{\frac{k}{m +M} }  = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } }{2}

   \frac{k}{m +M } = \frac{k}{4m}

   M = 3m

Therefore, the block's mass should be 3m

How does gravity keep the moon in orbit around earth
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The moon's orbit draws the oceans to it, which triggers ocean tides. Force produces stars and planets by gathering the mass from which it exists.
