Potential energy of a child at the top is 490 J.

Potential energy, U = mgh

U = potential energy

m = mass of an object, given = 25kg

g = acceleration due to gravity, given = 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$

h = height of an object, given = 2 meter

Put the values in potential energy formula, U = mgh

U = mgh

U = 25 × 9.8 × 2

U = 490 J

Hence, Potential energy of a child at the top is 490 J.

Potential energy is the type of energy, which is product of mass of an object, acceleration due to gravity and height of an object where it is placed. Its S.I. unit is joule and is represented by J.

If the phase of the vibrating sources was changed so that they were vibrating completely out of phase, what effect would this ha

Over [174]

Answer:

There would be complete destructive interference.

Explanation:

This is because since the waves are completely out of phase, the phase difference is half wavelength, that is the phase angle is 180°. The vibrating sources are 180° out of phase with each other.

Since this is the case, the crest of the one source meets the trough of the other, this causes the resultant vibrational wave to cancel out, thus producing a destructive interference pattern.

Since the vibrating sources are completely out of phase, every point they meet is completely out of phase, so the resultant interference pattern would produce a complete destructive interference pattern of no wave.

zubka84 [21]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength as a function of frequency and speed, as well as to determine the wavelength as a function of length.

From the harmonic vibration generated we know that the total length of the string will be equivalent to a half of the wavelength, that is

$L = \frac{\lambda}{2} \rightarrow \lambda = 2L$
