<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

They both involve wave interactions

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Refraction is a property of a wave that refers to the bending of a wave as it moves from one medium to another.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Diffraction on the other hand is a property of a wave such that an object causes a wave to change direction and bend towards it.</u></em>
  • <u><em>Diffraction and refraction differ in that, refraction occurs when waves pass through an object while diffraction occurs when waves pass around an object.</em></u>
  • <u><em>The similarity between refraction and diffraction is that they both involve interactions of waves and causes waves to bend thus changing their direction.</em></u>

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to
Lana71 [14]

complete question:

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot

Answer:

a ≈  5281 ft

Explanation:

The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff  measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.

The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°

The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°.  90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.  

using SOHCAHTOA  principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)

tan  85° = opposite / adjacent

tan 85°  = a / 462

cross multiply

462 × tan 85° = a

a = 11.4300523 × 462

a =  5280.66  ft

a ≈  5281 ft

Alarge plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 82.4 MPa m1/2. If the plate is expos
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

minimum length of a surface crack is 18.3 mm

Explanation:

Given data

plane strain fracture toughness K = 82.4 MPa m1/2

stress σ = 345 MPa

Y = 1

to find out

the minimum length of a surface crack

solution

we will calculate length by this formula

length = 1/π ( K / σ Y)²

put all value

length = 1/π ( K / σ Y)²

length = 1/π ( 82.4 10^{3/2} / 345× 1)²

length = 18.3 mm

minimum length of a surface crack is 18.3 mm

In the following diagrams the larger vector has a magnitude of 10, and the smaller
Anton [14]

the sum of vectors with the Pythagorean theorem allows us to find that the maximum magnitude occurs for the case:

d) the two vectors are parallel

Vectors are physical quantities that have modulus and direction, for example: force, velocity, acceleration, etc.

Vector algebra has defined the sum, the product by a scalar and by a vector.  The modulus and the direction of the resulting vector must be encoded.

The sum of two quantities is done using the Pythagorean theorem

                  c² = a² + b²

where c is the resultant called hypotenuse, a and b are the summing vectors called legs; trigonometry is used for the direction.

Let's apply this expression to the present case

a, b) perpendicular vectors

              c² = a² + b²

              c = \sqrt{6^2+10^2}

              c = 11.7

the magnitude is the same in both cases, changing the direction of the vector

c) Antiparallel vectors

             

For this case the vectors are collinear, so the sum reduces to the algebraic addition

             c = a-b

             c = 6 -10

             c = -4

d) parallel vectors

             c = a + b

             c = 4 + 10

             c = 14

We can see that the vectors addition gives their maximum and minimum values ​​when the vectors are collinear.

In conclusion using the vectors addition we find that the correct answer is

d) the two vectors are parallel

Which of the fluids below would produce the highest pressure at the bottom of a tank for the same fluid depth?
marishachu [46]
The answer is  a property of density. The higher the density, the higher the pressure at the bottom. 

Pressure = mass / Area. So given that the 4 samples occupy the same area at the bottom, the mass is going to be the determining factor. Per given volume, mercury has the largest mass. The answer is A
