Explanation:
The sun's gravitational force is very strong. If it were not, a planet would move in a straight line out into space. The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun
Answer: NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONONONO
Explanation: simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side. The time interval of each complete vibration is the same. The force responsible for the motion is always directed toward the equilibrium position and is directly proportional to the distance from it. That is, F = −kx, where F is the force, x is the displacement, and k is a constant. This relation is called Hooke’s law.
A specific example of a simple harmonic oscillator is the vibration of a mass attached to a vertical spring, the other end of which is fixed in a ceiling. At the maximum displacement −x, the spring is under its greatest tension, which forces the mass upward. At the maximum displacement +x, the spring reaches its greatest compression, which forces the mass back downward again. At either position of maximum displacement, the force is greatest and is directed toward the equilibrium position, the velocity (v) of the mass is zero, its acceleration is at a maximum, and the mass changes direction. At the equilibrium position, the velocity is at its maximum and the acceleration (a) has fallen to zero. Simple harmonic motion is characterized by this changing acceleration that always is directed toward the equilibrium position and is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. Furthermore, the interval of time for each complete vibration is constant and does not depend on the size of the maximum displacement. In some form, therefore, simple harmonic motion is at the heart of timekeeping.
Answer:
A thermos bottle works well because:
A) Its glass walls are thin
<u>Answer :</u>
(a) d = 0.25 m
(b) d = 0.5 m
<u>Explanation :</u>
It is given that,
Frequency of sound waves, f = 686 Hz
Speed of sound wave at
is, v = 343 m/s
(1) Perfectly destructive interference occurs when the path difference is half integral multiple of wavelength i.e.
........(1)
Velocity of sound wave is given by :




Hence, when the speakers are in phase the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is perfectly destructive is 0.25 m.
(2) For constructive interference, the path difference is integral multiple of wavelengths i.e.
( n = integers )
Let n = 1
So, 


Hence, the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive is 0.5 m.
