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.

John pushes a box with a constant force as shown in the graph below.
andrew11 [14]
From the graph, it can be seen that the constant force that John exerted in order to move the object is 14N. Work is calculated by multiplying the force with the distance to which the object moves in parallel with the direction of the force. 
                                      Work = Force x displacement
                                      Work = (14 N) x (8 m)
                                        Work = 112 J
The closest value is 110J. Thus, the answer to this item is the second choice.

Anybody know these ?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1. a) 72 N.

2. a) 2 m/s².

Explanation:

Given the following data;

1. Mass = 90kg

Acceleration = 0.8 m/s²

To find the force;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 90 * 0.8

Force = 72 Newton.

2. Mass = 50kg

Force = 100N

To find the magnitude of acceleration;

Acceleration = force/mass

Acceleration = 100/50

Acceleration = 2 m/s²

A diffraction grating is illuminated simultaneously with red light of wavelength 670 nm and light of an unknown wavelength. The
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

dsin∅ = m× λ

so, dsin∅red = 3(670nm)

also, dsin∅? =5λ?

however ,if they overlap then dsin∅red = dsin∅?

3(670nm) /5 =402nm

∴λ = 402nm

A delivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 3.20 km east. The truck makes a right turn and travels 2.45 km south to arrive a
boyakko [2]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Displacement of the delivery truck, d_1=3.2\ km (due east)

Then the truck moves, d_2=2.45\ km (due south)

Let d is the magnitude of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse. The net displacement is given by :

d=\sqrt{d_1^2+d_2^2}

d=\sqrt{3.2^2+2.45^2}

d = 4.03 km

Let \theta is the direction of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse from south of east.

\theta=tan^{-1}(\dfrac{2.45}{3.2})

\theta=37.43^{\circ}

So, the magnitude and direction of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse is 4.03 km, 37.4° south of east.
