Newton's second law of motion describes what happens to a body when an external force is applied to it.

Newton's second law of motion states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration. In mathematical form this is written as

F = ma

Where F is force , m is mass and a is acceleration. The math or logic behind this is that if you double the force, you double the acceleration, but if you double the mass, you cut the acceleration in half.

Suppose you are observing the interference pattern formed by a Michelson interferometer in a laboratory and a joking colleague h

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Michelson interferometer , two light waves from different directions are made to overlap so that fringes are formed on the screen due to interference . In it, two monochromatic and coherent light are made to overlap which have some path difference or phase difference. They form dark and bright fringes .

Now when a match stick is lit in the path of a wave , the fringes will disappear and an general illumination will be observed on the screen as the light from the lit match stick will not be coherent . Incoherent light can not form stable fringes.

Your answer is C. Unbalanced

unbalanced forces change the direction and speed of objects, therefore it would change the constant speed of an object in motion.

Hope this helps u!
