Answer:

Option "D" is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is only optical illusion that best describes the formation of other multiple images which are not based on other scientific mechanism. Thank you.

Answer:

B. Diffraction

Explanation:

Diffraction is the process that occurs when a wave is blocked by an obstacle.The obstacle could be a tiny hole or a much larger object.The waves have to pass through and they usually find a way by bending around the corners of the obstacle or through it depending on the nature and size of the obstacle.

The diffracted rays forms shadow at the back of the obstacle. The shadow is usually made up of several parallel rays.

Alchen [17]
So 10 gallons of gas would let you travel 300 Miles. 

x gallons = 50 Miles

10 : 300 :: x : 50 

x = 500/300

x = 1.66667 gallons. 

So, the car would run 10 - 1.6666 gallons = 8.33 gallons.

After that, the warning light turns ON! 

Hope this helps!!

What does this observation tell you about the relationship between the external force applied and the object’s acceleration (the
Dvinal [7]

Explanation:

Newton’s second law of motion is closely related to Newton’s first law of motion. It mathematically states the cause and effect relationship between force and changes in motion. Newton’s second law of motion is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force. Before we can write down Newton’s second law as a simple equation giving the exact relationship of force, mass, and acceleration, we need to sharpen some ideas that have already been mentioned.

First, what do we mean by a change in motion? The answer is that a change in motion is equivalent to a change in velocity. A change in velocity means, by definition, that there is an acceleration. Newton’s first law says that a net external force causes a change in motion; thus, we see that a net external force causes acceleration.

Okay i'm totally stuck and nobody I know really gets it either, so i've turned to Yahoo for help :)

Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:

                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on one side</u>
is equal to
                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on the other side</u>.

That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.

       (Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).


So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:

<u>#1).</u>
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.

       (400) x (1)  =    (200) x (2)

<u>#2).</u>
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.

       (200) x (1)  =    (100) x (2)

<u>#3).</u>

On one side:  (300 N) in the end-seat       (300) x (2) = <u>600</u>

On the other side:
                      (400 N) in the middle-seat  (400) x (1) = 400
           and     (100 N) in the end-seat      (100) x (2) = 200
                                                    Total . . . . . . . . . . . . <u>600</u> 


These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.

Please help me solve all of them ( a, b, c and d ) thankiew !! <br> I’m also kind of in a rush
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

a-

V= IR

9V = I ×( 12+6)

I = 9/ 18 A = 0.5 A

b

V=IR

240 = 6 A ×( 20 + R)

40 = 20 + R

R = 20 ohm

c

resultant resistance of the 2 parallel resistances= Ro

1/Ro = 1/ 5 + 1/ 20

1/Ro =( 20+5)/100

= 1/Ro = 1/4

Ro= 4 ohm

V=IR

V = 2A × ( 1+ 4 OHM)

V = 10V

d

equivalent resistance = Ro

1/Ro = 1/(2+8) + 1/(5+5)

1/Ro = 1/10 +1/10

2/10 = 1/ Ro

Ro= 10/2 = 5 ohm

V = IR

12V = I × 5Ohm

I=2.4 A
