Answer:

THE LAW OR PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION; States that when two identical waves are brought, the resultant disturbance is the algebraic sum of the individual disturbances of the two waves.

Explanation:

Most stationary waves are obtained as a result of the combination or superposition of an incident wave and it's reflected wave. Like in music, they result from the stationary waves of plucked strings leading to the Superposition law.

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie

Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance= Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles

If m represent mass in kg, v represents speed in m/s and r represents radius in m show F in the formula F= (mv^2)/r can be expre

Dmitrij [34]

M represent mass in kg
v represents speed in m/s
r represents radius in m

Now, just substitute these into the formula:
 $F = \frac{m* v^{2} }{r} =\frac{kg* ( \frac{m}{s} )^{2} }{m} =\frac{kg* \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}} }{m} = \frac{kg*m^{2}}{s^{2}*m } =\frac{kg*m}{s^{2} }$

Describe how the mass, luminosity, surface temperature, and radius of main-sequence stars change in value going from the “bottom

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

1. Least massive stars are the coolest and least luminous, lower right of main sequence, on HR diagram.

2. Most massive are the hottest and most luminous, upper left of main sequence on Hr Diagram.

3. The radius of stars are related to their sprectral type. having the O being the hottest upper left and M being the coolest bottom right.
