Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Then if the weight is:

Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:

Wx = m*a

Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.

Then, isolating a in that equation we get:

Wx/m = a

Then the correct option is:

B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Which phenomena support only the wave theory of light? select 2 options. reflection refraction diffraction interference photoele
attashe74 [19]

Interference and diffraction are the phenomena that support only the wave theory of light. Options 2 and 3 are correct.

<h3 /><h3>What is the interference of waves?</h3>

The result of two or more wave trains flowing in opposite directions on a crossing or coinciding pathways. This phenomenon is known as the interference of waves.

The phenomenon of interference occurs when two wave pulses are traveling along a string toward each other.

The light wave hypothesis states that light behaves like a wave. Since light is an electromagnetic wave, it may be transmitted without a physical medium.

Light has magnetic and electric fields, much like electromagnetic waves do.

Transverse waves, such as those seen in light waves, oscillate in the same direction as the wave's path. A wave of light may experience interference as well as diffraction as a result of these properties.

All of the remaining options are the light phenomenon.

Hence, options 2 and 3 are correct.

I need to Swap the convergent lens to a menisc Congergent one And make a graph like the attached photo
weeeeeb [17]

A convergent meniscus lens is a lens that is composed of two spherical surfaces, like the on shown next:

The imaginary line that runs through the middle of the lens is the "symmetry axis".

In this type of lenses incident parallel beams of light converge in one point, as follows:

And thus we get the diagram.

If the pressure acting on a given sample of an ideal gas at constant temperature is tripled, what happens to the volume of the g
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law  for constant temperature of gas Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of gas.

PV=nRT

PV=constant

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

if Pressure is tripled then

P\times V_1=3P\times V_2

V_2=\frac{V_1}{3}

Volume becomes one-third of original volume

Katarina [22]

The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy. As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.
