Is light a wave or a particle? (points 1)

Physics

None of the choices is an acceptable answer. Light ... as well as all other forms of electromagnetic radiation ... is both. When you run light through an experiment built to detect particles ... such as photoelectric stimulation of electron emission ... the light behaves like a stream of particles. When you set up an experiment built to measure and detect waves ... like reflection, refraction, diffraction, dispersion, constructive and destructive interference ... the light does all of those things too. Scientists would only debate the question if light absolutely positively had to be one or the other, and could not possibly be both. Such a debate isn't necessary, and scientists no longer waste their time arguing about it. Light is both. Between Maxwell and Einstein, the wave/particle duality of light had been convincingly demonstrated well over a hundred years ago.

A bar magnet is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor. As the magnet falls toward the ring, does it move as a free
Maslowich

Consider that the bar magnet has a magnetic field that is acting around it, which will imply that there is a change in the magnetic flux through the loop whenever it moves towards the conducting loop. This could be described as an induction of the electromotive Force in the circuit from Faraday's law.

In turn by Lenz's law, said electromotive force opposes the change in the magnetic flux of the circuit. Therefore, there is a force that opposes the movement of the bar magnet through the conductor loop. Therefore, the bar magnet does not suffer free fall motion.

The bar magnet does not move as a freely falling object.

The ratio of the output work to input force is the _ of the machine ?
Colt1911 [192]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Mechanical advantage

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force output from a machine divided by the force input into the machine.
  • Mechanical advantage measures the machine's force-magnifying effect. It is an advantage gained by using simple machines to accomplish work with less effort.
  • The formula is; M.A = output force/ Input force

How long would i t take to walk around the eath nonstop?
zaharov [31]

Divide (25,000) by (the number of miles you can walk in 1 hour).
The answer you get is the number of hours it would take you to walk around the Earth once, IF you were able to walk on water too.
