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

a foul ball is hit into the stands at a baseball game. the ball rises to a height of 38 meters and is caught on its way down by

lisov135 [29]

The velocity of the ball when it was caught is 12.52 m/s.

<em>"Your question is not complete it seems to be missing the following, information"</em>,

find the velocity of the ball when it was caught.

The given parameters;

maximum height above the ground reached by the ball, H = 38 m

height above the ground where the ball was caught, h = 30 m

The height traveled by the ball when it was caught is calculated as follows;

y = H - h

y = 38 - 30 = 8 m

The velocity of the ball when it was caught is calculated as;

$v_f^2 = v_0 + 2gh\\\\v_f^2 = 0 + (2\times 9.8 \times 8)\\\\v_f^2 = 156.8\\\\v_f = \sqrt{156.8} \\\\v_f = 12.52 \ m/s$

Thus, the velocity of the ball when it was caught is 12.52 m/s.

During the experiment if you could double the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new

sergiy2304 [10]

There are some missing information in the question.
However, since you are talking about magnetic force, I think you refer to the Lorentz force. When a particle of charge q and velocity v is immersed in a magnetic field of intensity B, the force acting on the particle is:
$F=qvBsin\theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the magnetic field and the direction of the particle.
Therefore, if force F is doubled, then also the velocity v must be double of its initial value:
$v=2v_0$

A pendulum takes 4 seconds to make one complete swing. A man walks 100m in a straight line while the pendulum makes 20 complete

irina [24]

The average velocity of the man is determined as 1.25 m/s.

<h3>Average velocity of the man</h3>

Total distance traveled by the man = 100 m

If 1 complete cycle = 4 s

20 complete cycle = ?

= 20 x 4 s

= 80 s

Average velocity = total distance/total time

Average velocity = 100 m/80 s

Average velocity = 1.25 m/s

Thus, the average velocity of the man is determined as 1.25 m/s.
