Answer:

1. Light is electromagnetic waves while sound is mechanical.

Light wave is transverse and sound is longitudinal.

Explanation:

<i = <r

when distance between source and obstacle and distance between obstacle and screen is finite then the diffraction is fresnal diffraction

when distance between source and obstacle and distance between obstacle and screen is infinite then the diffraction is Fraunhofer's diffraction

If the Sun were scaled down to the size of a grapefruit, about how far would you have to walk from our classroom to reach Alpha

Burka [1]

Answer:

2000 miles.

Explanation:

It's the Colorado scale model, in which sun is taken as the grapefruit and the distances are measured for different planets with respect to sun just for understanding.

A 1200-kg car initially at rest undergoes constant acceleration for 9.4 s, reaching a speed of 11 m/s. It then collides with a s

Natalka [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy and the definition of kinematic energy as half the product between mass and squared velocity. So,

$KE_i = KE_f$

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Here,

m = Mass

V = Velocity

Replacing,

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (12000)(11)^2$

$KE_f = 72600J$

Therefore the final kinetic energy of the two car system is 72.6kJ

A car of mass 1167 kg accelerates on a flat highway from 10 m/s to 28.0 m/s. How much work does the car's engine do on the car?

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Workdone = 465766038 Joules.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 1167

Initial velocity = 10m/s

Final velocity =28m/s

To find the workdone;

We know that from the workdone theorem, the workdone by an object or a body is directly proportional to the kinetic energy possessed by the object due to its motion.

Mathematically, it is given by the equation;

W = Kf - Ki

W = ½MVf² - ½MVi²

Substituting into the equation

W = ½(1167)*28² - ½(1167)*10²

W = ½ * 1361889* 784 - ½ * 1361889 * 100

W = 533860488 - 68094450

Workdone = 465766038 Joules.

Voltage drop is a better measurement of resistance than testing static resistance because ________.

gavmur [86]

Voltage drop is a better measurement of resistance than testing static resistance because: current flow creates heat which adds to circuit resistance

The current flow or electric current is the measure of the electrons flow around a circuit. It is measured in amperes or "amps". If the current is higher the electrons flow is greater.

<h3>What is electricity?</h3>

Electricity or electrical energy is the energy that occurs due to the movement of electrons in the materials that are considered conductors.
