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.

An Olympic discus thrower (~100 kg) launches the 2.0 kg discus by spinning rapidly (~4 times per second) with arm outstretched (

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

F = 1263.03 N

Explanation:s

given,

mass of the disk thrower = 100 Kg

mass of the disk = 2 Kg

angular speed of the disk = 4 rev/s

arm outstretched = 1 m

centripetal force of the disk in the circular path

F = m ω² r

ω = 4 x 2 x π

ω = 25.13 rad/s

F = m ω² r

F = 2 x 25.13² x 1

F = 1263.03 N

hence, centripetal force equal to the F = 1263.03 N

A space station, in the form of a wheel 140 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 3.90 m/s2 for persons w

Zigmanuir [339]

Radial acceleration is given by

$a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where

$v=r \omega$
then

$a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2$

Now

$70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2} \\ \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }$

Using the relation

$\omega=2 \pi f$

$2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\ \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz$

Putting into rpm

$\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm$

Why do nuclear power plants use fission rather than fusion to generate

kicyunya [14]

B. Fusion requires very high pressure and temperature.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of atomic nuclei into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

Nuclear fission is the decay process in which a heavy nuclide is bombarded with with neutrons.

Both processes release a huge amount of energy.
But fusion produces far more energy.
The reason why nuclear fusion is not in use is because of the high pressure and temperature needed start it.
The activation energy is high and the energy barrier is very great.
Only the core of the sun naturally favors fusion
