Answer:

Explanation:

Of the 4 numbers given, the answer is 1 or A

If you take the absolute value of abs(1 - 1.04) you get 0.04.

(2 - 1.04) = 0.96

1.25 - 1.04 = .21

1.5 - 1.04 = 0.46

The last three are all larger than 0.04

Note: absolute value means the positive difference between 2 numbers (even though it is negative). If it is negative, absolute value makes it positive.

Answer:

1. Reflection

2. travel from one medium to another

3. Same waves to travel in opposite direction.

Explanation:

1. When a wave strikes a solid barrier, it bounces back in the same medium. This wave behavior of bouncing back is known as reflection. Its like a basketball hitting a backboard. The ball bounces back at the same angle as it was incident. ∠i = ∠r

2. For refraction to occur in a wave, the wave must travel from one medium to another. When light travels from through mediums of different optical densities, it bends. The wave bends away normal when it enters from denser medium to rarer medium. The wave bends towards the normal when it enters from rarer to denser medium. The angle of refraction and angle of incidence are related by Snell's law.

$\frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)} = \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}$

3. The formation of standing wave requires two same waves to travel in the opposite direction and interfere. The incident wave and reflected wave when interfere, form standing waves. There waves are also resonances or harmonics. A standing wave oscillates at one place and does not transfers any energy.

A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy moves backward, increasing his distance from the p

slava [35]

Answer:

b. The side the boy is sitting on will tilt downward

Explanation:

Initially, the seesaw is balanced because the torque exerted by the boy is equal to the torque exerted by the girl:

$\tau_b = \tau_g\\W_b d_b = W_g d_g$

where

Wb is the weight of the boy

db is the distance of the boy from the pivot

Wg is the weight of the girl

dg is the distance of the girl from the pivot

When the boy moves backward, the distance of the boy from the pivot ( $(d_b)$ increases, therefore the torques are no longer balanced: the torque exerted by the boy will be larger, and therefore the side of the boy will tilt downward.

Explain how valence electrons can result in the creation of ions.

Brums [2.3K]

So as you may know atoms are neutral because the number of protons (+ charge) and the number of electrons( - charge) are the same so they cancel out. When a valence electron leaves an atom it will have a +1 charge because there is one less negative than positives or there is one more positive than negatives since a negative electron left. If a valence electron is added a -1 charge because there is now one more negative than positive!!!
hope that helps!!

Work may be measured using units of A.watts B.newton C.joules D.newtons per second

DochEvi [55]

If you are working with electricity most people will measure it in watts.

So, A. watts is your best answer.

Hope I helped! ^w^
