Answer:

(B) a whole number of wavelengths.

Explanation:

Two beams of coherent light start out at the same point in phase and travel different paths to arrive at point P. If the maximum destructive interference is to occur at point P, the two beams must travel paths that differ by a whole number of wavelengths.

When the resultant effect of the combination of two identical waves result in their annihilation or complete cancellation of the effect of each other, destructive interference takes place. Hence to have two wave sources producing waves that have the same frequency wavelength and amplitude and which are always in phase with each other or have a constant phase difference are said to be Coherent source

Answer: magnitude of the instantaneous angular velocity

Explanation:

Instantaneous angular speed is refered to as the magnitude of the instantaneous angular velocity. We should note that the instantaneous angular velocity is the rate that has to do with the rotation of an object in circular path.

The sun’s___and the planet’s___keeps planets moving is___orbits.
Sauron [17]

The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.

Explanation:

The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:

1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the Sun and the planet

This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.

2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.

Convert to the fractional equivalent and reduce 21.12
nignag [31]

The decimal point is placed after two digits starting from the end. For each decimal place, we can write the number divided by 100.

21.12 can be written as \frac{2112}{100}.

Divide the numerator and denominator by 2:

\frac{2112}{100}= \frac{156}{50}

The numerator and denominator can be divided by 2 again:

\frac{78}{25}

There is no other common factor between numerator and denominator other than 1. Hence, it is the reduced form.

We know that the law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. It only changes form. Conside
Pavel [41]

The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).
