<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

A) the resting position of the wave

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point which is the source to another, and this involves transfer of energy through a material medium.
<em><u>Equilibrium refers to a state of balance between opposing forces, it is a state of balance in which opposing forces cancel one another. </u></em>
<em><u>When wave is in rest position its called equilibrium position of a wave. When a wave travels through a material medium, the particles in the medium are disturbed from their resting, or equilibrium positions.</u></em>

Write a hypothesis about the effect of the fan speed on the acceleration of the cart. Use the "if . . . then . . . because . . .

iragen [17]

As an object accelerates i.e., change it's velocity(either direction or speed), the position of the object depends on two factor; If the acceleration was direction based then it might have a zero displacement for eg: if it travels in circle. or it might have a net displacement if it travels in a straight line, quantitatively
$s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at {}^{2}$
where,
s = displacement
u = initial velocity
v = final velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Now, for the hypothesis;
There is no direct relationship between fan speed and acceleration but anyways generally speaking if we do have a relationship that with more fan speed we have a larger displacement of air i.e., a more force i.e., greater acceleration
Thus, it can be said, well not exactly scientific, that with a greater fan speed there will be greater acceleration. if fan speed is increased then acceleration will be more.

Recall the previous question and the scenario with Zamir and Talia finding their way through a maze. Why is their displacement t

Ad libitum [116K]

Sample Response: Zamir and Talia’s total distances are different because they walked different paths in the maze. Zamir took a longer path. However, they had the same displacement because they both ended at the same position.

The power rating of an electric lawn mower is 2000 watts if lawnmower is used for 120 seconds how many joules of work van it do

Scorpion4ik [409]

1 watt = 1 joule/sec

2,000 watts = 2,000 joules/sec

   (2,000 joule/sec) x (120 sec)

      = (2,000 x 120) (joule-sec/sec)

      = 240,000 joules .

A uniform magnetic field of 0.50 T is directed along the positive x axis. A proton moving with a speed of 60 km s enters this fi

tatuchka [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.5 T

Speed of the proton, v = 60 km/s = 60000 m/s

The helical path followed by the proton shown has a pitch of 5.0 mm, p = 0.005 m

We need to find the angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton. The pitch of the helix is the product of parallel component of velocity and time period. Mathematically, it is given by :

$p=v_{||}\times T$

$p=v\ cos\theta\times \dfrac{2\pi m}{Bq}$

$cos\theta=\dfrac{pBq}{2\pi mv}$

$cos\theta=\dfrac{0.005\times 0.5\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{2\pi \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 60000}$

$\theta=50.58^{\circ}$

So, the angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton is 50.58 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

The pupil of the human eye can vary in diameter from 2.00 mm in bright light to 8.00 mm in dim light. The eye has a focal length

Zarrin [17]

The indicated data are of clear understanding for the development of Airy's theory. In optics this phenomenon is described as an optical phenomenon in which The Light, due to its undulatory nature, tends to diffract when it passes through a circular opening.

The formula used for the radius of the Airy disk is given by,

$y_r=1.22\frac{\lambda f}{d}$
