The correct answer is option 4, 16.

Explanation

Each division on the number line represents 4 units. The point X is located 4 divisions above 0, the origin. On this particular number line, 4 divisions represents $4\times 4=16$ units. This means that the point X is located at $y=16$ on the number line.

The correct answer is the 4th option, whose value is 16.

As per the question the diagram given is a vertical line.

We are asked to calculate the position of X.

Here the vertical line is divided into many segments.

As per the diagram, it is obvious that the points marked at different positions are separated by four units from each other i.e the distance between two successive marks is 4 units.

The point X is situated at four marks away from 0.

Hence the position of X will be= 4×4 units

= 16 units

Hence the correct answer of this question is D.

When water waves meet, they can combine to form new waves. In constructive waves, a ________ amplitude wave is formed. In destru

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed. (option A)

Explanation:

Interference is called the superposition or sum of two or more waves. Depending mainly on the wavelengths, amplitudes and the relative distance between them, there are two types of interference: constructive or destructive.

Constructive interference occurs when there are two waves of identical or similar frequency (both have motions equal to an even number of similar wavelengths) and overlap the peak of one with the peak of the other. These effects add together and make a wave of greater amplitude. All of this is possible because the waves were in the same phase in the beginning (in the same position).

Destructive interference occurs in the opposite case to constructive. When the crest of one wave overlaps the valley of the other, they cancel out since they are in different phases when they overlap (they were in different positions). That is, as in the case of constructive waves they were added, in the case of destructive waves they cancel out (subtract).

So, In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed.

A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass

makkiz [27]

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s$

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s

In the photoelectric effect, a photon with an energy of 5.3 × 10–19 J strikes an electron in a metal. Of this energy, 3.6 × 10–1

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the photo electron is $6.11\times 10^5\ m/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Supplied energy, $E_s=5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Minimum energy of the electron to escape from the metal, $E_e=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J$

We need to find the velocity of the photo electron. The energy supplied by the photon is equal to the sum of minimum escape energy and the kinetic energy of the escaping electron. So,

$5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J+K\\\\K=5.3\times 10^{-19}-3.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\K=1.7\times 10^{-19}\ J$

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2K}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.7\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=6.11\times 10^5\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the photo electron is $6.11\times 10^5\ m/s$ .
