Answer: z = 16.3

Explanation:

Since the machine can only handle 3 significant digits.

All the inputs would be automatically converted to 3 significant digits.

x = 25.74 = 25.7 (to 3 s.d)

y = 9.370 = 9.37 (to 3 s.d)

So, the value of ;

z = x-y

Substituting the input values.

z = 25.7 - 9.37

z = 16.33

But the Machine can only output 3 significant digits

z = 16.3

Destructive Interference. An example of destructive interference is noise canceling headphones. Noise canceling headphones work by using a microphone to pick up the frequencies of incoming waves. The headphone then sends out a wave that is the exact opposite, canceling out the sound.

Explanation:

Volume per unit time flowing   will be conserved

a₁v₁  = a₂ v₂

π r₁² x v₁ = π r₂² x v₂

(0.9 x 10⁻²)² x .35 = ( .45 x 10⁻² )² x v₂

v₂ = 1.4 m / s

An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. I
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The archerfish must spit at a minimum speed of 3.43m/s at an angle of 69.14\° above the horizontal.

Explanation:

Hi

First of all, we need to find the angle above the horizontal at which the archerfish must spit, as we can see in the attachment this angle is \Theta = 69.14\°.

Then we use the formula h=\frac{v_{0}^{2}sin^{2} \Theta}{2g}, as we clear it for v_{0}, we obtain, v_{0}=\frac{\sqrt{2gh} }{sin\Theta}=\frac{\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^{2})(0.525m)} }{sin(69.14\°)}=3.43m/s, therefore the archerfish must spit at a minimum speed of 3.43m/s at an angle of 69.14\° above the horizontal.
