Answer:

true

Explanation:

Yes, it is true.

As the wattage is more than the prescribed wattage, it becomes overheated.

A double-slit experiment yields an interference pattern due to the path length difference from light traveling through one slit
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Therefore the correct statement is B.

Explanation:

In the interference and diffraction phenomena, the natural wave of electromagnetic radiation must be taken into account, the wave front that advances towards the slit can be considered as when it reaches it behaves like a series of wave emitters, each slightly out of phase from the previous one, following the Huygens principle that states that each point is compiled as a source of secondary waves.

The sum of all these waves results in the diffraction curve of the slit that has the shape

      I = Io sin² θ /θ²

Where the angle is a function of the wavelength and the width of the slit.

From the above, the interference phenomenon can be treated as the sum of two diffraction phenomena displaced a distance equal to the separation of the slits (d)

Therefore the correct statement is B

Which state of matter takes both the shape and volume of its container?
Tresset [83]

The <em>gaseous state</em> of matter does that.  A gas expands to take the shape and volume of whatever you put it into.

Using a crowbar, a person can remove a nail by exerting little force, whereas pulling directly on the nail requires a large forc
algol [13]
Here we deal with a lever law. It states that product of force and distance from a fixed point on a lever is equal on both sides.

F₁*d₁ = F₂*d₂

By analysing this formula we can see that applying small force on a great length equals great force on a small length.
To remove nail we need to apply certain force. If we use F₁ for this required force we can see that on other side we need to apply certain force. If we have greater arm length we need smaller force. In a crowbar arm length along which we apply force is greater than length of our arm. This leads to a conclusion that we need smaller force when using crowbar. Depending on the length of a nail it is possible that we need to apply force that is greater than force required to remove nail.

your friend sit in a sked in the snow. if you apply a force of 120 N to them, they have an acceleration of 1.3 m/s2. what is the
levacccp [35]
Need to know the equation for force
F=MA
F is force
M is mass- we need to know the mass
A is acceleration
use "x" for mass
120 N= 1.3x
divide 1.3 in both side
kg unit for mass
X=92.31 kg 
or 
mass = 92.31 kg
Hope this helps

A pipe is open at both ends. The pipe has resonant frequencies of 528 Hz and 660HZ (among others).
yawa3891 [41]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the oscillation frequency-related concepts specifically in string or pipe close at both ends or open at both ends.

By definition the oscillation frequency is defined as

f = n\frac{v}{2L}

Where

v = speed of sound

L = Length of the pipe

n = any integer which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum (n)1,2,3...)(Number of harmonic)

Re-arrange to find L,

f = n\frac{v}{2L}\\L = \frac{nv}{2f}

The radius between the two frequencies would be 4 to 5,

\frac{528Hz}{660Hz}= \frac{4}{5}

4:5

Therefore the frequencies are in the ratio of natural numbers.  That is

4f = 528\\f = \frac{528}{4}\\f = 132Hz

Here f represents the fundamental frequency.

Now using the expression to calculate the Length we have

L = \frac{nv}{2f}\\L = \frac{(1)343m/s}{2(132)}\\L = 1.29m

Therefore the length of the pipe is 1.3m

For the second harmonic n=2, then

L = \frac{nv}{2f}\\L = \frac{(2)343m/s}{2(132)}\\L = 2.59m

Therefore the length of the pipe in the second harmonic is 2.6m
