Refraction is the change in direction of a wave.
Diffraction is the bending of a wave around a barrier.

A swimmer is swimming to the left with a speed of 1.0 m/s when she starts to speed up with constant acceleration. The swimmer re
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Correct answer: t = 2.86 seconds

Explanation:

We first use this formula

V² - V₀² = 2 a d    

where V is the final velocity (speed), V₀ the initial velocity (speed),

a the acceleration and d the distance.

We will calculate the acceleration from this formula

a = (V² - V₀²) / (2 d) = (2.5² - 1²) / (2 · 5) = (6.25 - 1) / 10 = 5.25 / 10

a = 0.525 m/s²

then we use this formula

V = V₀ + a t  => t = (V - V₀) / a = (2.5 - 1) / 0.525 = 1.5 / 0.525 = 2.86 seconds

t = 2.86 seconds

God is with you!!!

Three diffrent examples of accelerated motion
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The three different examples of the accelerated motion are Falling/dropping of ball, Standing in circular rotating space, moving around the circle.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity, which is related to the speed and direction in which the object is travelling. Hence, speeding up, slowing down and turning are few types . A simple example would be dropping a ball: as it falls its speed increases, which is a type of acceleration. A more complicated example would be standing in a circular, rotating space station. A point on the station moves in a circle, meaning that as it travels it must be turning (to remain in circular motion) making this another example of acceleration

How original were Newton’s contributions to science? (In what ways did Newton depend on the mechanical view?)
kvasek [131]
Newton's new “reflecting telescope” was more powerful than ... Before Newton, scientists primarily adhered to ancient theories on ... laws of motion laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. Newton's research on motion helped give credibility to the heliocentric view. Newton also helped pioneer telescopic innovations, and he is sometimes credited with inventing the first reflecting telescope. He also conducted experiments using the prism, and developed a theory about the nature of color and light.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question 7: </h2>

 \huge\text{Graphs:}

The graph of  

• The I-V for Ohmic Metal wire conductor at constant temperature  always shows a straight line between the Current(I) plotted at Y axis and Voltage(V) plotted at X axis. Picture 1

• The I-V graph for Diode shows that first the current is zero but as we increase the potential difference(voltage), it results in the increase in the current. Picture 2

<h2>_____________________________________ </h2><h2>Question 8: </h2>

\Large\textbf{Diode:}  

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

\Large\textbf{Forward and Reverse Biasing:}  

Forward Bias, When a diode is forward bias (a voltage in the "forward" direction) then the P-side of the diode is attached to the positive terminal and N-side is fixed to the negative side of the battery which is connected, current flows freely through the device. The forward bias decreases the thickness of potential barrier(The potential barrier barrier in which the charge requires additional force for crossing the region)

Reverse Bias, When a diode is Reverse bias(a voltage in the "backward direction) then the P-side of the diode is connected to the negative terminal and N-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which is connected. The reverse bias increases the thickness of the potential barrier resulting in the flow of no current.

 \Large\textbf{Answer to the Question "Resistance"}

The Forward bias decreases the resistance of the diode whereas the reversed bias increases the resistance of the diode. As in forward biasing the current is easily flowing through the circuit whereas reverse bias does not allow the current to flow through it.

Some neodymium glass lasers can provide 100TW of power in 1.0 ns pulses at a wavelength of 0.26 micrometers. how much energy is
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

 E = 10⁵ J

Explanation:

given,

Power, P = 100 TW

           = 100 x 10¹² W

time, t = 1 ns

           = 1 x 10⁻⁹ s

The energy of a single pulse is:-

Energy = Power x time

 E = P t

 E = 100 x 10¹² x 1 x 10⁻⁹

 E = 10⁵ J

The energy contained in a single pulse is equal to 10⁵ J
