Answer: Diffraction occurs when waves interact with a gap.

Diffraction occurs in any type of wave—mechanical or electromagnetic.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of light to bend around a small obstruction in its path is known as diffraction. Diffraction occurs for any type of waves- transverse or longitudinal i.e. for mechanical or electromagnetic waves.

When the medium changes- refraction occurs. Waves reflect back from a barrier. Diffraction occurs when the wavelength of the wave is comparable to the size of the gap. The wave bends around the corners of the gap.

We had an experiment that is entitled "balloon rocket" it is an experiment using the force of balloon to make the straw move. it

andreev551 [17]

Air from a balloon does not need to touch anything in order for the balloon to move. The outside forces around the balloon push down it so it contracts and air is expelled. This propulsion is what moves the balloon.

a passing warm front changes air pressure. does a passing warm front increase or decrease air pressure

meriva

Warmer air has molecules more spread out, so I'd say a decrease in air pressure.

Anna [14]

Answer:

(1) Exercise should be painful in order for it to be beneficial. FALSE

(2) Proper progression involves a gradual increase in the level of exercise. TRUE

(3) Exercising on a regular, consistent basis provides you with the best results. TRUE

Explanation:

(1) It is a false statement because whenever we do exercise, it should not be painful, it should be comfortable to some extent for a person, if it will be painful then it means one cant get the true and genuine benefit from the exercise.

(2) It is very much true because one must keep on increasing the level of his/her exercise gradually with the passage of time, it will make his/her body synchronized with the exercise properly.

(3) It is also a true statement because, one must use variety of exercises in his/her workout session targeting different muscles and different areas and parts of the body to make exercise really beneficial.

A book is moved once around the edge of a tabletop with dimensions 1.75 m Ã 2.25 m. If the book ends up at its initial position,

uysha [10]

Explanation:

The dimension of the book is 1.75 m × 2.25 m. If the book ends up at its initial position. The displacement of the book is equal to zero as the object reaches to its initial position.

If it completes its motion in 23 s, t = 23 s

Total displacement of the book is equal to its perimeter. It is given by :

$d=2(1.75+2.25)=8\ m$

The net displacement divided by total time taken is called the average velocity of an object. Here, the displacement is 0. So, average velocity is 0.

The average speed of an object is given by :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$v=\dfrac{8\ m}{23\ s}$

v = 0.347 m/s

So, the average speed of the book is 0.347 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A frame hanging on a wall is held by two cables. The tension in each cable is 30 N, and the cables make an angle of 45° with the

Dimas [21]

Answer: option D) 42.4 N

The weight of the frame is balanced by the vertical component of tension.

W = T sin θ + T sin θ = 2 T sin θ

The tension in each cable is T = 30 N

Angle made by the cables with the horizontal, θ = 45°

⇒ W = 2×30 N × sin 45° = 2 × 30 N × 0.707 = 42.4 N

Hence, the weight of the frame is 42.4 N. Correct option is D.
