During an observation, it was noticed that light diffracts as it passes through small slits in a barrier. What does this evidenc

Answer:

It reveals that light is a wave

Explanation:

Diffraction is the property of a wave in which there is a bending of the wave about the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the geometrical shadow of the obstacle or aperture.

This simply implies that a wave bends or spreads out when it passes through openings. Since the light diffracts through small slits and diffraction has been shown to occur in water waves and sound waves, this property of diffraction can only be characteristic of a wave and thus, this evidence reveals that light is a wave.

The motorcycle travels with a constant speed v0 along the path that, for a short distance, takes the form of a sine curve. Deter
Alexandra [31]

Let at any instant of time the speed is vo and the angle made by the bike with the horizontal is given

now we have

component of speed in x direction given as

v_x = v_0cos\theta

component of speed in y direction will be

v_y = v_0sin\theta

now from above two equations we can say that here

\theta = angle with the horizontal at any instant

and since here it is a sine curve so we know that

y = sin(x)

so we have slope of graph

tan\theta = \frac{dy}{dx} = cos(x)

Throw two balls from the same height at the same time at an initial speed of 20 m/s. One is thrown vertically down, while the ot
labwork [276]

The time difference between their landing is 2.04 seconds.

<h3>Time of difference of the two balls</h3>

The ball thrown vertical upwards will take double of the time taken by the ball thrown vertically downwards.

Time difference, = 2t - t = t

t = √(2h/g)

where;

  • h is the height of fall
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

¹/₂mv² = mgh

h = v²/2g

where;

  • v is speed of the ball

h = (20²)/(2 x 9.8)

h = 20.41 m

<h3>Time of motion</h3>

t = √(2 x 20.41 / 9.8)

t = 2.04 s

Thus, the time difference between their landing is 2.04 seconds.

What is the value of work done on an object when a 50-newton force moves it 15 meters in the same direction as the force?
Volgvan

Answer:

W = 750 Joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, F = 50 N

Distance moved by the object, d = 15 m

To find,

Work done by the object

Solution,

Let W is the work done by the object. It is given by the product of force and distance. Its expression is given by :

W=F\times d\ cos\theta

Here, \theta=0 (force and distance are in same direction)

W=F\times d

W=50\ N\times 15\ m

W = 750 Joules

So, the work done by the force is 750 Joules.
