<span>The light slightly "bends" as it goes around the edges of the object. This bending is typically dependent upon the size of the barrier in comparison to the wavelength of the object being diffracted. The more similar in size the two are, the much more noticeable the diffraction tends to be.</span>

Diffraction is the slight bending of light when it passes around the edge of an object. The amount of bending depends on the relative of the  wavelength of the light wave to the size of the opening. If the opening is much larger than the wavelength the bending will be almost unnoticeable but if the two are equal or closer in length then the diffraction will be noted. Therefore, the correct answer is bends.

An object is at rest. There are several forces acting on the object, but the net force is zero. If all the

It would not. Imagine four forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (e.g. north, east, south, and west). If these forces were to double in magnitude they would still have the same magnitude, meaning the net force is still equal to zero.

An object weighing 4 newtons swings on the end of a string as a simple pendulum. At the bottom of the swing, the tension in the
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(B) 0.5 g

Explanation:

Newton's second law says ∑  F i = m a .

the rate of change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force applied on the body.

f∝ma

f=kma

were k is constant and equal to 1

The centripetal acceleration is an acceleration.

the tension on the swing and object weight goes to the left hand side while the centripetal acceleration goes to the right handside

At the bottom of the swing, ΣF = FT – mg = mac;

notice that the tension in the swing is 1.5 times the weight of the object

we can write

1.5mg – mg = mac,

0.5mg = mac

0.5 g=ac

If a roller coaster cart, with a mass of 100 kg, traveled this coaster, how much kinetic energy would it have at point 'E'?
zzz [600]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming no friction between the roller coaster car and the hill, and neglecting air resistance, the kinetic energy the roller coaster car would have at the bottom of the hill would be equal to its gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill, by conservation of energy.

Aunt Jane weights 45 Newtons. What is her mass?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

10.116 Pounds/45 newtons = 10.1164024 pounds/force

Explanation:

Divide the newtons by the rate of acceleration, which will give you the mass of the object. The mass will be in kilograms, because a single newton represents the amount of force needed to move one kilogram one meter. For our example, we will divide 10 N by 2 m/s/s, which give us a mass of 5 kg
