Ferns that eject spores generally do so in pairs, with two spores flying off in opposite directions. The structure from which th

e spores are launched is quite lightweight. If it takes a certain amount of energy to eject each spore, explain how launching the spores in pairs provides for the greatest initial launch speed for each spore.

Answer:

It cancels recoil.

Explanation:

For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.

light of a wavelength 600 nm shines on a soap bubble film. For what soap film thickness will destructive interference occur
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is 225.56 nm.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of light, λ = 600 nm

The minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is given by;

t = \frac{\lambda/n}{2}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}

where;

n is refractive index of soap film = 1.33

t = \frac{\lambda}{2n} \\\\t = \frac{600*10^{-9}}{2(1.33)}\\\\t = 2.2556 *10^{-7} \ m\\\\t =  225.56 *10^{-9} \ m\\\\t = 225.56 \ nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is 225.56 nm.

This graph indicates that the kinetic energy of an object is increasing. What is the most reasonable explanation for this observ
soldi70 [24.7K]

B) The object's velocity doubled.

Explanation:

The graph is missing: find it in attachment.

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. It is calculated as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

We notice that:

  • The  kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass
  • The kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity

In the graph, one of the two quantities (either mass or speed) is represented on the x-axis, while the quantity on the y-axis is the kinetic energy.

First of all, we notice that the relationship is not linear: this means that the quantity on the x-axis cannot be the mass, so it must be the velocity.

Moreover, we notice that when the quantity on the x-axis increases from 1 to 2 (so, it doubles), the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 4. This means that the object's velocity has doubled, therefore

B) The object's velocity doubled.

Experts, ACE, Genius... can anybody calculate for the Reactions at supports A and B please? Will give brainliest! Given: fb = 30
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Support at Cy = 1.3 x 10³ k-N

Support at Ay = 200 k-N

Explanation:

given:

fb = 300 k-N/m

fc = 100 k-N/m

D = 300 k-N

L ab = 6 m

L bc = 6 m

L cd = 6 m

To get the reaction A or C.

take summation of moment either A or C.

<em><u>Support Cy:</u></em>

∑ M at Ay = 0

      (( x1 * F ) + ( D * Lab ) + ( D * L bc + D * L cd )

Cy = -------------------------------------------------------------------

                                      ( L ab + L bc )

Cy = 1.3 x 10³ k-N

<em><u>Support Ay:</u></em>

Since ∑ F = 0,           A + C - F - D = 0

                                   A = F  + D - C

                                  Ay = 200 k-N
