Which wave diffracts the most when encountering an obstacle?

Physics
1 answer:
viva [34]3 years ago
8 0

Answer;

-A wave with the longest wavelength.

Explanation;

-Diffraction is the apparent of wave through,around small obstacles and the spreading out of wave past small openings. When thinking of diffraction of a wave think of shining a flashlight around a corner. The light bends around the corner but there is a place where it is dark and the light does not hit. Diffraction of a wave is basically the wave bending around an object then dispersing out.

-The amount of diffraction (the sharpness of the bending) increases with increasing wavelength and decreases with decreasing wavelength. When the wavelength of the waves is smaller than the obstacle, no noticeable diffraction occurs.

A wildebeest and chicken participate in a race over a 2.00km long course. the wildebeest travels at a speed of 16.0m/s and chick
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

(a)  The distance of the chicken from the finish line is 62.5 m

(b) The stationary time of the wildebeest is 675 s

Explanation:

Given;

total distance traveled by wildebeest and chicken, d = 2 km = 2000 m

speed of the wildebeest, v_w = 16 m/s

speed of the chicken, v_c = 2.5 m/s

Time for wildebeest to finish the race without stopping, 2000 / 16 = 125 s

Time for chicken to finish the race without stopping, 2000/2.5 = 800 s

(b) for how long in time (in s) was the wildebeest stationary?

t(stationary) = t(chicken) - t(wildebeest)

t = 800s - 125 s

t = 675 s

(a) how far (in m) is the chicken from the Finish Line when the wildebeest resume the race?

The time taken for the wildebeest to run 1.6 km (1600 m) is given by;

t = 1600 / 16 = 100 s

The total time spent by the wildebeest before it resumed the race = stationary time + 100s

t (total) = 675 s + 100 s = 775 s

Distnace traveled by the chicken when the wildebeest resumed the race = 2.5m/s x 775s = 1937.5 m

Thus, the distance of the chicken from the finish line = 2000 m -  1937.5 m

the distance of the chicken from the finish line = 62.5 m

2 * 1.5 * (.850/2)^2A small ball with mass 1.50 kg is mounted on one end of a rod 0.850 m long and of negligible mass. The syste
grin007 [14]

Answer

given,

mass of the rod = 1.50 Kg

length of rod = 0.85 m

rotational velocity = 5060 rev/min

now calculating the rotational inertia of the system.

I = m L^2        

where L is the length of road, we will take whole length of rod because mass is at  the end of it.      

I = 1.5 \times 0.85^2  

I = 1.084 kg.m²                        

hence, the rotational inertia the system is equal to I = 1.084 kg.m²

X=3t^2-12t+5 calculate time t=1 and time when velocity zero
anyanavicka [17]
You plug your 1 into all spots where the variable is T. Then after you’ve done this, you simply simplify the problem. Then after simplifying you should have an equation where you are simply adding and subtracting which will give you the final answer of 2.

X=3T^2-12T+5
X=3(1)^2-12(1)+5
X=(3)^2-12+5
X=9-12+5

X=2

The mass of a certain neutron star is 2.5x10^30kg and the radius 7000m. what is the force of gravity on a 1kg object of the surf
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

3.42N

Explanation:

*not too sure bc i left my physics notes at school so it might not be 100% accurate :p*

Use the equation: F = (GMm)/(r^2)

F = force of gravity

G = gravitational constant (6.7x10^-11)

M = mass1 (2.5x10^30kg)

m = mass2 (1kg)

r = radius (7000m)

Plug it in: F = ((6.7x10^-11)(2.5x10^30)(1)) / (7000^2)

F = (1.675x10^20) / (4.9x10^7)

F = 3.4183673x10^12

F = 3.42N

Max and Jimmy want to jump on a trampoline. Max begins jumping in a steady pattern, making small waves in the trampoline. Jimmy
mylen [45]

Answer:

x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement

Explanation:

In this case we can see that the first boy Max when he enters the trampoline and jumps creates a harmonic movement, with a given frequency. When the second boy Jimmy enters the trampoline and begins to jump he also creates a harmonic movement. If the frequency of the two movements is the same and they are in phase we have a resonant process, where the amplitude of the movement increases significantly.

         Max

               x₁ = A cos (wt + Ф)

         Jimmy

              x₂ = B cos (wt + Ф)

         

total movement

             x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

 Therefore we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement
