The first practical realisation of the metric system came in 1799, during the French Revolution, when the existing system of measures, which had become impractical for trade, was replaced by a decimal system based on the kilogram and the metre.

The forces in (Figure 1) are acting on a 1.0 kg object.What is ax , the x -component of the object's acceleration
a_sh-v [17]

The x -component of the object's acceleration is 2 m/s².

<h3>What's the resultant force along x- direction?</h3>
  • Forces along x axis direction are as follows
  1. 4N along +x axis, so it's taken as +4 N
  2. 2N along -x axis , so it's taken as -2N.
  • Resultant force along x direction = 4N - 2N = 2 N which is along + ve x direction.

<h3>What's the acceleration along x axis direction?</h3>
  • As per Newton's second law, Force = mass × acceleration of the object
  • Force along x axis= mass × acceleration along x axis= 2N
  • Acceleration = 2/ mass = 2/1 = 2 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration along x axis is 2 m/s².

What is the frequency of a clock waveform whose period is 750 microseconds?
Allushta [10]
Use this formula to find your answer...

Determine the frequency of a clock waveform whose period is 2us or (micro) and 0.75ms

frequency (f)=1/( Time period).

Frequency of 2 us clock =1/2*10^-6 =10^6/2 =500000Hz =500 kHz.

Frequency of 0..75ms clock =1/0.75*10^-3 =10^3/0.75 =1333.33Hz =1.33kHz.

The dark bands on the wall are from ______________ interference. and i will give brainlyest
Fittoniya [83]
Light can be seen as an electromagnetic wave.
What happens when two waves, with the same frequency, superpose is called interference.

If at a certain point two waves arrive both with a crest, we have constructive interference and the amplitudes sum up, reaching the maximum value, resulting in bright spots.

If at a certain point one of the waves arrives with a crest and the other wave arrives with a trough, we have destructive interference, and the two amplitudes cancel out, resulting in dark spots.

Therefore, t<span>he dark bands on the wall are from destructive interference.</span>
