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.

A solid 0.4550 kg ball rolls without slipping down a track toward a vertical loop of radius R = 0.6750 m . What minimum translat
Talja [164]

Answer:

u = 3.35 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass , m = 0.455 kg  

R = 0.675 m

Height of Loop = 1.021 m

the speed required at the top of loop be v

equating the force vertically

m g =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

9.81 =\dfrac{v^2}{0.675}

v² = 6.622

v = 2.57 m/s

Let the initial speed of ball be u

using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2 + m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+ m g (2 R)

where, I =\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2

\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2)(\dfrac{u}{r})^2 + m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2)(\dfrac{v}{r})^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+ m g (2 R)

0.7 u^2 + g H = 0.7 v^2 + g(2R)

0.7 u^2 +9.81 \times 1.021= 0.7\times 2.57^2 + 9.81 \times 2\times 0.675)

0.7 u² = 7.85092

u² = 11.2156

u = 3.35 m/s

the initial  speed is 3.35 m/s

The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3. what mass of lead is required to make a 1.00 cm3 fishing sinker?
Elza [17]

The mass of lead required to make a 1.00 cm3 fishing sinker is 11.3g.

What is mass?

Mass is a metric used in physics to express inertia, a fundamental characteristic of all matter. A mass of matter's resistance to altering its direction or speed in response to the application of a force is what it essentially is. The change that an applied force produces is smaller the more mass a body has.

Given :

Density of lead = 11.3 g/cm3

Volume of  sinker  =  1.00 cm3

One of a substance's attributes is density, which is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Mathematically:

Density : Mass / volume

therefore after putting the values,

mass= 11.3g
