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.

A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The
Arada [10]

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

<h3>What will be the maximum acceleration of the truck to avoid tipping over?</h3>

The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking clockwise moments about the tipping point of rotation.

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Ft * 1.58 m = F * 0.67 m

where

  • Ft is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
  • F is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.67

a = 4.15 m/s²

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

In conclusion, the acceleration of the truck is found by taking moments about the tipping point.

What ions are formed when hcl dissolves in water?
Vlad1618 [11]
HCl is a strong electrolyte and when it dissolves in water it separates almost completely into positively - charged hydrogen ions and negatively - charged chloride ions. This aqueous solution is usually called hydrochloric acid.

Travels 11,000 feet along a dark desert highway if the car averages 84 mph find the amount of time to cover this distance
laila [671]

The time taken by traveler to cover the distance is,

t=\frac{d}{v}

Substitute the known values,

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{(11000\text{ ft)}}{(84\text{ mph)(}\frac{1.46667\text{ ft/s}}{1\text{ mph}})_{}} \\ \approx89.3\text{ s} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the time taken by traveler to cover the distance is 89.3 s.

The specialty of an athlete on the women's track team is the pole vault. She has a mass of 48 kg and her approach speed is 8.9 m
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

H = 3.9 m

Explanation:

mass (m) = 48 kg

initial velocity (initial speed) (U) = 8.9 m/s

final velocity (V) = 1.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the height she raised her self to as she crosses the bar (H)

from energy conservation, the change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mg(H-h)

where h = initial height = 0 since she was on the ground

the equation becomes

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mgH

0.5 x 48 x (1.6^{2} - [test]8.9^{2}[/tex]) = 48 x 9.8 x H

-1839.6 = 470.4 H  (the negative sign indicates a decrease in kinetic energy so we would not be making use of it further)

H = 3.9 m

Car accelerates 86km/hr in 4.6s . What is the average acceleration in m/s^2
never [62]

speed = 86km/hr

= 86000/3600

= 23.889m/s

time = 4.6s

acceleration = 23.889/4.6

a = 5.19m/s^2
