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).

devlian [24]

Force on left crate, right crate and truck we need to draw here

First we will write the equation for left crate

T_{left} = m*a

T_{left} = 20*a

Now similarly for right crate

T_{right} - T_{left} = 20*a

now for truck

F - T_{right} = 20*a

Now we know that F = 200 N

200 - T_{right} = 20*a

now add all three equation

T_{left} + T_{right} - T_{left} + 200 - T{right} = 20a + 20 a + 20a

200 = 60 a

a = 10/3 m/s^2

now we will find all tension using this value of acceleration

T_{left} = 20 * \frac{10}{3} = \frac{200}{3} N

T_{right} - \frac{200}{3} = 20*\frac{10}{3}

T_{right} = \frac{400}{3} N

an astronaut on an eva has wandered dangerously far away from the shuttle. she has also exhausted all the fuel in her jet pack.
V125BC [204]

The conservation of the momentum allows to find the result of how the astronaut can return to the spacecraft is:

  • Throwing the thruster away from the ship.

The momentum is defined as the product of the mass and the velocity of the body, for isolated systems the momentum  is conserved. If we define the system as consisting of the astronaut and the evo propellant, this system is isolated and the internal forces become zero. Let's find the moment in two moments.

Initial instant. Astronaut and thrust together.

        p₀ = 0

Final moment. The astronaut now the thruster in the opposite direction of the ship.

       m_f = m v + M v '

where m is propellant mass and M the astronaut mass.

As the moment is preserved.

       0 = m v + M v ’

      v ’= - \frac{m}{M} \ v  

We can see that the astronaut's speed is in the opposite direction to the propeller, that is, in the direction of the ship.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by the relationship between the masses.

In conclusion, using the conservation of the momentun we can find the result of how the astronaut can return to the ship is:

  • Throwing the thruster away from the ship.

Why are viruses hard to fight
ki77a [65]

Answer:Compared to other pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses are minuscule. And because they have none of the hallmarks of living things — a metabolism or the ability to reproduce on their own, for example — they are harder to target with drugs.

Answer:

The intensity of the electric field is

|E|=10654.37 \:N/C

Explanation:

The electric field equation is given by:

|E|=k\frac{q}{d^{2}}

Where:

  • k is the Coulomb constant
  • q is the charge at 0.4100 m from the balloon
  • d is the distance from the charge to the balloon

As we need to find the electric field at the location of the balloon, we just need the charge equal to 1.99*10⁻⁷ C.

Then, let's use the equation written above.

|E|=(9*10^{9})\frac{1.99*10^{-7}}{0.41^{2}}

|E|=10654.37 \:N/C

I hope it helps you!
