How are electromagnetic waves used in bar-code scanners?

Physics
1 answer:
Natali5045456 [20]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A barcode reader (or barcode scanner) is an optical scanner that can read printed barcodes, decode the data contained in the barcode and send the data to a computer. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating for optical impulses into electrical signals.

Galileo discovered that which planet undergoes phases as viewed from earth?
balu736 [363]
<h2>Answer: Venus</h2>

Galileo was the first to use the telescope to observe the heavens, mainly observing the Moon, the Sun with its sunspots, Jupiter with its moons and Venus (in the early 1600s).

In the case of Venus, he observed that it presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth.

This is because Venus presented its smaller size when it is in full phase and the largest size when it is in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.

These images along with other discoveries were presented to the Catholic Church (which supported the <u>geocentric theory</u> for that time) as a proof that completely refutes Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirms <u>Copernicus' heliocentric theory.</u>

If the same pressure is exerted over a greater area will more of less force result? Group of answer choices :
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Pressure and force are related by the equation:

p=\frac{F}{A}

where

p is the pressure

F is the force

A is the area

We can re-arrange the equation as

F=pA

In this problem, the pressure is kept the same (p' = p) while the area is increased. As we can see from the previous equation, the force applied is directly proportional to the area: therefore, a greater area means also a greater force.

Why are circuits important?
padilas [110]
You should draw a diagram of each for this question.
In a series circuit, the resistors experience the same current. In a parallel circuit, they have the same voltage drop. Therefore, the equivalent resistance is calculated differently for a series and parallel circuit.
Ohm's law: V=IR
Resistance keeps a circuit from shorting.

A boat moves at 10.8 m/s relative to the water. If the boat is in a river where the current is 2.00 m/s, how long does it take t
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Option E is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Velocity of boat = 10.8 m/s

Velocity of river = 2 m/s

Relative velocity upstream = 10.8 - 2 = 8.8 m/s

            Displacement = Velocity x Time

            1100 = 8.8 x t₁

        Time in upstream, t₁ = 125 s  

Relative velocity downstream = 10.8 + 2 = 12.8 m/s

            Displacement = Velocity x Time

            1100 = 12.8 x t₂

        Time in downstream, t₂ = 86 s  

Total time = t₁ + t₂ = 125 + 86 = 211 s

Option E is the correct answer.
