Answer:

(C) 16

Explanation:

Given:

The amplitude of first wave (s₁) = 20 mm

The amplitude of second wave (s₂) = 5 mm

Intensity of first wave = Iₓ

Intensity of second wave = $I_y$

The intensity associated with a wave depends on the amplitude of the wave.

The intensity (I) is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude (s) of the wave and is expressed as:

$I=ks^2\\Where\ k\to constant\ of\ proportionality$

Now, the intensities of the two waves are given as:

$I_x=ks_1^2=k(20)^2\\\\I_y=ks_2^2=k(5)^2$

Dividing both the intensities, we get:

$\frac{I_x}{I_y}=\frac{k(20)^2}{k(5)^2}\\\\\frac{I_x}{I_y}=\frac{400}{25}\\\\\frac{I_x}{I_y}=16$

Therefore, the option (C) is correct.

A cubic metal box with sides of 17 cm contains air at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 278 K. The box is sealed so that

const2013 [10]

Answer:

F = 3.98 kN

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

sides of box = 17 cm

pressure = 1 atm = 101325 N/m2

T2 = 378K

T1 = 278 K

final pressure can be calculate by using below relation

$\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}$

we know that

force = pressure * area

therefore force is

$F =(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}*P_{1})A$

$F =(\frac{378}{278}*101325)(17*10^{-2})^{2}$

F = 3.98 kN

Light of wavelength 425.0 nm in air falls at normal incidence on an oil film that is 850.0 nm thick. The oil is floating on a wa

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

in oil film λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

When electromagnetic radiation reaches a material, its propagation is by a process that we call absorption and reflection,

when light reaches a surface it has a mass much greater than the mass of the photons (m = 0), therefore there is an elastic collision where the frequency does not change, due to the speed of light in the material medium changes, therefore the only possibility is that the wavelength in the material changes, to maintain the relationship

v = λ f

in the void we have

c = λ₀ f

we divide the two expression

c / v = λ₀ / λ

the refractive index is

n = c / v

n = λ₀ /λ

λ = λ₀ / n

let's calculate

in oil film

λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.40

λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film

λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.33

λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹

those wavelengths are in the ultraviolet

Given the reaction: N2(g) +2O2(g) ⇌ 2NO2(g) The forward reaction is endothermic. Determine which of the following changes would

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A. I and V

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, increasing the product side will cause the equilibrium to shift back towards the reactant side, so I is true. By the same principle, II is false.

For gases, decreasing the pressure will cause the equilibrium to shift towards the side with higher number of moles. So V is true.

The reaction is endothermic, so increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the products, so IV is false. And adding a catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium, so III is false.

A tennis ball is thrown against a vertical concrete wall that is fixed to the ground. The ball bounces off the wall. How does th

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces compare together as a result of the fact that the force exerted by that of the ball and the force exerted by that of the wall both have the same magnitude.

One knife is longer from the cutting edge to the back of the blade. It's easier to push the longer knife through a pear and more

AlladinOne [14]

By the formula of torque balance we know that

$\tau = r\times F$

here we know that

r = distance of force

F = applied force

so here we know that as we will take large edge knife then the distance of force will increase

due to this the torque will also increase in it so it is easy to pear it

So here we can say

$F_{in}r_1 = F_{out}r_2$

$F_{out} = \frac{r_1}{r_2} F_{in}$

so output force will increase in this case

So here the correct answer would be

<em>b. the longer the knife, the stronger the output force</em>
