Answer:

Force

If you're taking classical physics, simply stated, a force is a push or a pull of some sort. But there is one other very important thing to understand about Force. A true Force is always an interaction (at least from a classical perspective). That means that forces always come in pairs. This is stated in Newton's Third Law (equal and opposite forces). Every action must have a reaction. This is required for all true forces. Another consequence of this is that force is a vector, meaning it has a magnitude and a direction. The action and reaction will always be opposite in direction.

A lot of people will say F=ma. This is true. However, it is important to keep in mind that this definition is a calculational tool. It is more precise to say the Sum of all forces=ma. The point is that ma is not a force. Forces are things like weight, tension, normal, friction, gravity, electrostatic, magnetic, and various other applied forces. The sum of forces on an object equals the product of its mass times its acceleration.

It is important to keep in mind that the force is on the object that accelerates. Another way to state this is that objects cannot accelerate themselves. You cannot push yourself back (or forwards). But if you push a heavy object like a desk forwards, then the desk can push you back.

Energy

There are many kinds of energy. There are two important things to know.

Energy is the ability to do work. It doesn't mean work is being done, but that work can be done. (So you can see there is an intimate relationship between work and energy).

Energy is conserved. That means the total amount of energy is always constant. If the energy is a system changes somehow, that means some work was done in order to move the energy from one system to another.

Energy is also a scalar (given that Work is a scalar).

How are size and mass of the moon different from that of the earth?
Elodia [21]
<span>The diameter of the Moon is 3,474 km. Now, let's compare this to the Earth. The diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km. This means that the Moon is approximately 27% the size of the Earth.</span>

What advantages does an electromagnet have over a permanent magnet?
KonstantinChe [14]
Electromagnets can be turned off, this makes it easier to release things from the magnetic field. 

Hope this helps :)

We have seen that starlight passing through the interstellar medium is dimmed and reddened. Look at the photo of a sunset on Ear
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reddening of sun's rays at sunset and sunrise is due to scattering of light . The white light consisting of seven colours coming from the sun are scattered in different directions when they fall on the air particles present in atmosphere . Red coloured light scatters least and it travels straight forward to the viewer on the earth . On the other hand other colours scatter most and therefore they go out of area of vision for the viewer on the earth . Since only red colour reaches the eye of the viewer , sun's ray appear red . This happens during sunrise and sunset . It is so because during this period , sun rays travel far greater distance through  atmosphere , so scattering is most pronounced .

If the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the total energy increase?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

c)by a factor of four

Explanation:

The total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

where

k is the spring constant of the oscillator

A is the amplitude of the motion

In this problem, the amplitude of the oscillator is doubled, so

A' = 2A

Therefore, the new total energy is

E'=\frac{1}{2}k(2A)^2=4(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=4E

So, the total energy increases by a factor 4.

Different between progressive wave and stationary wave​
patriot [66]
1) Progressive waves are the ones by which all the wave disturbances are carried on further and propelled or transferred forward.

1) Stationary waves are the ones by which all the wave disturbances are not carried on further and propelled or transferred forward.

2) In Progressive waves the energies are equally and efficiently transferred along the travelling waves. Every particle are transferring some kind of energy to a next further particle on the same path, basically most of the energies are lost because of which there's no energy acquired by it.

2) In Stationary or standing waves there's no absolute transfer of any significant amount of energies which are not transferred along a path of the wave. Particles in stationery waves are giving and contributing in energy submission and also acquire some of the energy back because of which the net transferring of energies between the particles in a specific period as nullified.

3) Phases of the progressive waves of the particles in these waves are varying in a continuous manner and have changing values between them.

3) Phases of the Stationary or standing waves of the particles in these waves are not changing and always same to the contrary opposite when placed between the consecutively running sets of nodes (Between two nodes of particles).

4) Progressive waves have no particles which show they're having a rest phase or a permanent rest phase in a medium (particle medium).

4) Stationary waves have significant amount of particles of the medium to show that there having a rest phase or a permanent rest phase at the nodes of those particles.

5) Amplitudes of Progressive waves are totally and completely different particles are neutral and are having same values.

5) Amplitudes of Stationary or Standing waves of the particles in between those tow consecutively sets of nodes in between them and antinodes provided are having different values and vary much more progressively.

6) All of the particles in Progressive waves containing it don't specially cross their given mean positions in a simultaneous manner.

6) All of the particles in Stationary waves containing it frequently and steadily cross their given mean positions in a simultaneous manner.

7) In Progressive waves the particles don't show any attainment of a displacement provided in a maximum amount in a simulations manner.

7) In Stationary waves the particles are showing and exhibiting the attainments of various displacements in a maximum amount in a simultaneous manner.

8) Maximum velocities achieved by Progressive waves are indeed same or similar for all the given particles when they're showing a passing of those given mean positions.

8) Maximum velocities achieved by Stationary waves of those particles when they're crossing their given mean positions are in a continuity of increasement for those particles between those "nodes" and of course the consecutively set "antinodes" further which it's showing a significant decreasement after it corresponds and reaches the second or usually the next nearest node.

9) Progressive waves have crest and troughs in their waves that're moving into a forward direction.

9) Stationary waves have crest and troughs in their waves that're appearing and disappearing in same positions or regions that is , not moving forward in a same direction.
