Hi Phoebe, I'm Sasha and I'm also 12 years old and here's the answer your looking for

Answer:

Particles are, by their very nature, attracted to particles with an opposite charge, and they repel other similarly charged particles. This prevents electrons from ever coming in direct contact (in an atomic sense and literal sense). Their wave packets, on the other hand, can overlap, but never touch.

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of
erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Inertia is the property of mass that resists change. Therefore, it is safe to say that as the mass of an object increases so does its inertia.

a shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level ground with a velocity of 12.0 m/s, 51.0 ∘above the horizontal. th
Savatey [412]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

The range (horizontal distance) of the projectile is determined only by its horizontal motion.

The horizontal motion is a motion with constant speed, which is equal to the initial horizontal velocity of the object:

v_x = v cos \theta

where

v = 12.0 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta=51.0^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of v and the horizontal

Substituting,

v_x = (12.0 m/s)(cos 51.0^{\circ} )=7.55 m/s

We know that the projectile hits the ground in a time of

t = 2.08 s

so the horizontal distance covered is

d = v_x t = (7.55 m/s)(2.08 s)=15.7 m
