Answer:

Energy: The ability to do work

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion

Potential energy: potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object

Work: Work is the transfer of energy by a force acting on an object as it is displaced

Friction: Friction acts as a resisting force which is generated , when two solid surfaces slide against one another

A thin oil slick (no=1.50) floats on water (nw=1.33). When a beam of white light strikes this film at normal incidence from air,
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The (minimum) thickness of the oil slick is 325 nm.

Explanation:

Let the (minimum) thickness of the oil slick = t_{o}

Therefore:

2t_{o} = (m_{red}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{red}/n_{o}       (1)

similarly,

2t_{o}=(m_{violet}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{violet}/n_{o}                                (2)

Thus, equation 1 = equation 2

(m_{red}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{red} /n_{o} = (m_{violet}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{violet}/n_{o}

Where:

λ_{red} = 650 nm

λ_{violet} = 390 nm

n_{o} = 1.5

Therefore:

\frac{2m_{violet}+1 }{2n_{red}+1 }=650/390=5/3

This shows that,

m_{violet}=2

m_{red}=1

Thus, using equation 2

t_{o}=\frac{5*390}{2*2*1.5} =325 nm

What is the difference between sounds that have the same pitch and loudness? the standing wave the natural frequency the sound q
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Sound quality

Explanation:

Loudness refers to the property of sound that depends on the amplitude of the sound wave while pitch is the property of sound that depends on the frequency of the sound wave.

Now, when sounds have the same pitch and loudness, it means they possess the same natural frequency and also, they will have similar resonance and standing waves. Despite all these similarities, the quality of these sounds will tend to vary from one to another.

What is the role of the brain in helping an animal interact with its environment?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The nature of the environment and the animal's interaction with it determines much of the character of the brain.

Explanation:

In fact, most of what we would use to describe ourselves to others reflects this sort of information storage.   Much of this information is unique to the individual and hence may involve different mechanisms from those used for species-typical information storage.
