. What does this demonstrate about the propagation of waves through a medium?
A) Waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.
B) Waves transmit matter but not energy as they progress through a medium.
C) Waves do not transmit matter or energy as they progress through a medium.
D) Waves transmit energy as well as matter as they progress through a medium.

Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

As the waves progress through the medium, the particles they are made of move perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. The particles do not move with the wave. So waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.

A bike accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.10 m/s over a distance of 35.4m .determine the acceleration of the bike.
sergeinik [125]
Given: Change of x is 35.4m, Velocity Final=7.10 m/s, Velocity Initial=0m/s
Find: Acceleration
Analysis:
Vf²=Vi²+2aΔx (Velocity final squared equals Velocity initial squared plus 2 times acceleration times change of x)
(7.10 m²/s)²=(0 m/s)²+2a(35.4 m)
50.41 m/s²=(70.8 m)a
a=0.712 m/s²

A 3.04 kg particle is located on the x-axis at xm = −8 m, and a 5.61 kg particle is on the x-axis at xM = 3.56 m. Find the coord
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

center of mass = −0.50 m

Explanation:

given data

mass m1 = 3.04 kg

distance xm = -8 m

mass m2 = 5.61 kg

distance xM = 3.56 m

solution

we get here center of mass for n mass of system that is express as

center of mass = \frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2......m_nx_n}{m_1+m_2...m_n}     ......................1

but we have only 2 particle system so we will get

center of mass = \frac{m1 \times xm+m2 \times xM}{m1+m2}      .................2

put here value and we will get

center of mass = \frac{3.04 \times (-8 )+5.61 \times 3.56}{3.04 + 5.61}

solve it we will get

center of mass = −0.50 m

Which letters represent constructive interference in this diffraction pattern? Check all that apply.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: A, C and D

Explanation:

Interference occurs when two waves superimpose to form a wave having a smaller or larger amplitude.

Constructive interference is said to occur when two waves superimpose to produce a wave having larger amplitude. It occurs for the waves having phase difference of multiple of 2π. On the other hand, destructive interference occurs for the waves having phase difference  π, 3π, ..and so on.

In the given picture, the bright regions represent constructive interference where as the dark ones between them represent destructive interference. Thus, the correct letters representing constructive interference are: A, C and D.
