What happens to the amplitude of the resultant wave when two sound waves with equal amplitude constructively interfere?

Constructive interference means that the waves combine instead of negate. if they are both amplitude x, adding them together would result in 2x, or doubling the amplitude of one of the waves

Answer:

The amplitude of the resultant wave will be twice the amplitude of each wave

Explanation:

- Constructive interference occurs when two waves meet in phase (\theta=0^{\circ}, which means that the crest of a wave meets the crest of the other wave: in this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the single waves

- Destructive interference occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase (\theta=180^{\circ}, which means that the crest of a wave meets the trough of the other wave: in this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is the difference between the amplitudes of the single wave

In this problem, we have constructive interference between the two waves: this means that the resultant amplitude is the sum of the two waves. Since the two waves have equal amplitude (we can call it A), the resultant amplitude will be

R= A+A=2 A

so, twice the amplitude of the single wave.

How much energy is needed to generate 0.71 x 10-16 kg of mass?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

6.39 J of energy is needed to generate 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg mass

Explanation:

According to the Equation: E = mc²

where the mass, m = 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg

the speed of light, c = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

The amount of energy needed to generate a mass of 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg is calculated as follows:

E = (0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶) (3 * 10⁸)²

E = 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ * 9 * 10¹⁶

E = 0.71 * 9

E = 6.39 J

what is the resistance of a car light bulb that conducts 0.025A current when connected to a 12V car accumulator? is the current
Sophie [7]

One form of Ohm's Law says . . . . . Resistance = Voltage / Current .

R = V / I

R = (12 v) / (0.025 A)

R = (12 / 0.025) (V/I)

<em>R = 480 Ohms</em>

I don't know if the current in the bulb is steady, because I don't know what a car's "accumulator" is.  (Floogle isn't sure either.)

If you're referring to the car's battery, then the current is quite steady, because the battery is a purely DC storage container.

If you're referring to the car's "alternator" ... the thing that generates electrical energy in a car to keep the battery charged ... then the current is pulsating DC, because that's the form of the alternator's output.

Explanation:

Object in motion stays in motion,

nothing works against its motion in the horizontal direction, unlike in the vertical direction, gravity pulls object down.
