Answer:

(c) in the barrel of the rifle

Explanation:

When we are moving in a convertible with constant speed so as per inertia all the objects are moving with same speed as that the speed of convertible.

So here we can say that bullet when shot from the rifle then its speed is same as that of convertible in horizontal direction

So here we can say that if air friction is absent then bullet will move same horizontal distance as the distance moved by you in the convertible

so after it it will reach again at the same position then the displacement of you and bullet is same in horizontal direction so we can say that correct answer will be

(c) in the barrel of the rifle

klio [65]
Light waves are reflected from front and back surfaces of the thin films and constructive interference between the two reflected waves occurs in different places for different wavelengths. Light shining on the upper surface of the thin film with thickness t is partly reflected at the upper surface (path abc). Light transmitted from the upper surface is partly reflected at the lower surface (path abdef). The two reflected waves come together at point P on the retina of the eye. Depending on the phase relationship, they may interfere constructively or destructively. Different colors have different wavelengths, so the interference may be constructive for some colors and destructive for others.

What is the shorter electromagnetic wave called? A. more powerful. B. less powerful. C. hotter. D.colder
Natasha2012 [34]
I think the answer would be : A. more powerful

The shorter the electromagnetic wave is, the closer it is to the electromagnetic core, which make it more powerful

When earthquakes produce vibrations called waves, how do those waves travel? They ripple from the epicenter of the earthquake. T
Lana71 [14]

Answer: They travel away from the focus of the earthquake in all directions.

Explanation:

The vibrations produced by Earthquake are called seismic waves. seismic waves travel from the point where fault occurs. The maximum intensity is about the focus of the fault. These waves travel away from the focus in all directions.

Seismic waves are both transverse (S waves) and longitudinal (P waves). The P and S waves can travel through the Earth where as the surface waves travel above or near the Earth's surface.
