A theme park creates a new kind of water wave pool with large waves caused by constructive interference. There are two wave gene
melomori [17]

Answer:

10.0 m

Explanation:

Since there is no amplitude at the point of the swimmer, we have destructive interference.

So, the path difference ΔL = L₂ - L₁ where L₁ = swimmer's shorter distance from one generator = 9.0 m and L₂ = swimmer's longer distance from the other generator = 14.0 m.  ΔL = 14.0 m - 9.0 m = 5.0 m

Also, since we have destructive interference, ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ where n = number of wavelengths and λ = wavelength of waves

For maximum wavelength, n = 0

So, ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ

ΔL = (0 + 1/2)λ

ΔL = λ/2

λ/2 = ΔL

λ = 2ΔL

λ = 2 × 5.0 m

λ = 10.0 m

So,  the longest wavelength that will produce this interference pattern is λ = 10.0 m

Answer:

The time taken by the ship to cover the distance, t = (x/25)  s

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial velocity of the ship, u = 20 m/s

The final velocity of the ship, v = 30 m/s

The average velocity of the ship, V = (20 + 30)/ 2

                                                           = 25 m/s

The distance covered by the ship, d = x m

Then the time taken by the ship to cover the displacement is,

                   d =  V x t

∴                   t = d / V

Substituting the values,

                     t = x / 25

                     t = (x/25)  s

Hence, the time taken by the ship to cover the distance, t = (x/25) s

A tight knot can be easily opened by using a long spanner. Give reason.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Torque

Explanation:

loosening loosening a boat requires a certain amount of torque which is the product of the force acting on the wrench and the moment arm, or distance from the center of rotation at which the force is applied. the longer the handle, the last force it takes to generate the same amount of torque
