Answer: The correct answer is "The wave will bend or defract".

Explanation:

Diffraction: It is the phenomenon in which the light gets bend around the corner of the aperture or a slit. There is a spreading of the waves as they pass through an aperture.

The wavelength of the wave is comparable or greater than the size of the aperture to observe diffraction. If the wavelength of the wave is not comparable or greater than the size of the aperture then in this case, the diffraction is unnoticeable.

In the given problem, a wave is approaching a barrier that has a small hole at the center. A small hole is aperture here. The wave will bend or defract. The diffraction phenomenon will occur in this case.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

During an exothermic reaction; light and heat are released into the environment.

An exothermic reaction is one in which heat is released to the environment. This heat can be physically observed sometimes like in an a combustion reaction.

In an exothermic reaction, the enthalpy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy of the products.

This heat lost is sometimes felt as the hotness of the vessel in which the reaction has taken place.

In conclusion, light and heat are released into the environment in an exothermic reaction.

Sarah's mother gets a flat tire on her car while driving Sarah to school. They use a jack to change the tire. It exerts a force
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1250 J

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force causes an object to move over a distance. The amount of work done (W) is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance traveled.

That is;

W = F × d

Where;

W = work done (J or N/m)

F = force (N)

d = distance (m)

Based on the information provided in this question, F = 5000N, d = 0.25m

Hence;

W = F × d

W = 5000 × 0.25

W = 1250J

Therefore, 1250Joules of work is done by the jack.

Which of the following best describes the human population from early times to the present?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

We have a not significant increase of the population until 1700s or 1800s and then a significant increase growth from these years to the present.

Explanation:

From the figure attached we see the evolution of the human population since early times (1050).

We see that from 1050 until 1750-1850 we have an increase slowly with a low value for the increase per year.

But after these years (1750-1850) we see a considerable increase of the population, like an exponential model.

So then we can conclude in general terms this:

We have a not significant increase of the population until 1700s or 1800s and then a significant increase growth from these years to the present.
