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.

To test the quality of a tennis ball, you drop it onto a floor from a height of 4.00m . It rebounds to a height of 2.00 m. If th

Agata [3.3K]

In this problem, we apply the equation regarding kinematics expressed as vf^2 = v0^2 + 2as vf eventually becomes zero because the ball stops in the end. a = -9.8 m/s2s = 2 metres this time
This gives initial velocity, vo equal to 6.26m/s
now 6.26-(-8.85) = 15.11m/s

change in velocity/change in time = average acceleration 15.11/(12/1000) = 1259.167 m/s^2

How long does it take the moon to go through an entire set of phases?.

Bas_tet [7]

It take approximately 29.5 days for moon to do its entire set of phases.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth which undergoes three motions, that is :

Rotating on its own axis
Evolving around the Earth
Together with the Earth evolving around the sun as the center of the solar system

With that, the moon has two periods of revolution, namely:

Sidereal revolution, which is the original revolution of the Moon. This sidereal revolution is really the time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth. The sidereal revolution of the moon has a time span of 27.3 days or more accurate is approximately 27 days, 7.72 hours.
Synodic revolution, namely the revolution of the Moon as seen from Earth as a series of moon phases (from the new moon phase, to the next new moon phase). The synodic revolution is slower, because the Moon needs to catch up with the Earth rotating in the same direction as the Moon. The synodic revolution of the moon has a time span of 29.5 days or to be more accurate approx 29 days, 12.734 hours.

Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceed

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

12.35m

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must consider the following:

1. The car moves with constant speed, which means that the distance traveled is equal to the multiplication of time by speed.

X = VT

we solve the equation for time

$T=\frac{x}{V} =\frac{27}{17} =1.588s$

2. The bolt moves with constant acceleration, with acceleration of 9.81m / s ^ 2, so we could apply the following equation.

note=remember that "a uniformly accelerated motion", means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

$Y= VoT-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

where

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

=1.588s

g =gravity=9.8m/s^2

Y = bridge height

solving

$Y= \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\\Y=(0.5)(9.8)(1.588^2)=12.35m$
