When a highly coherent beam of light is directed against a very fine wire, the shadow formed behind it is not just that of a sin

gle wire but rather looks like the shadow of several parallel wires. The explanation of this involves:
A. Refraction
B. Diffraction
C. Reflection

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 70 ft rope hangs from a helicopter above this room. The rope has a mass per unit length of 2 lb/ft. In order to be rescued fro
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 70 ft

mass per unit length of the rope, μ = 2 lb/ft

your mass, W = 120 lbs

mass of the 70 ft rope  = 2 lb/ft x 70 ft

                                         = 140 lbs.

Total mass to be pulled to the helicopter, M = 120 lbs  + 140 lbs  

                                                                       = 260 lbs

The work done is calculated from work-energy theorem as follows;

W = Mgh

where;

g is acceleration due gravity = 32.17 ft/s²

h is height the total mass is raised = length of the rope = 70 ft

W = 260 Lb x 32.17 ft/s²  x 70 ft

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²

1 lb.ft²/s² = 0.0421 J

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²  = 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Therefore, the work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

In a police ballistics test, a 10.0-g bullet moving at 300 m/s is fired into a 1.00-kg block at rest. The bullet goes through th
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Speed of block after the bullet emerges = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum.

Mass of bullet = 10 g = 0.01 kg

Initial Velocity of bullet = 300 m/s

Mass of block = 1 kg

Initial Velocity of block = 0 m/s

Final Velocity of bullet = 50% of initial velocity. = 150 m/s

We need to find final velocity of block. Let it be v

We have

Initial momentum = 0.01 x 300 + 1 x 0 = 3 kg m/s

Final momentum = 0.01 x 150 + 1 x v = 1.5 + v

Equating

3 = 1.5 + v

v = 1.5 m/s

Speed of block after the bullet emerges = 1.5 m/s
