A string of 10 lightbulbs is wired in such a way that if any individual bulb goes out, theentire string fails. If for each indiv

idual bulb, the probability of going out over a certaintime period is 0.06, what is the probability that the string will fail during said time period

Tresset [83]

Answer

D.Diffraction

Explanation

Diffraction is a property that is experienced by waves when they come across a barrier when they are in motion.

The ways tends to curve behind the barrier. This is called diffraction of waves.

Now, sound is a wave and it also experience diffraction. . So the brother will be able to hear the sound due to diffraction

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.4 m/s hits a 5.7 m -wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continu

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=-2.48\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Initial speed of the skater, u = 8.4 m/s

Final speed of the skater, v = 6.5 m/s

It hits a 5.7 m wide patch of rough ice, s = 5.7 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. The third equation of motion gives the relationship between the speed and the distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{(6.5)^2-(8.4)^2}{2\times 5.7}$

$a=-2.48\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration on the rough ice $-2.48\ m/s^2$ and negative sign shows deceleration.
