Wave A has an amplitude of 2 and wave B has an amplitude of 2 as shown below. What will happen when the crest of wave A meets th

e trough of wave B? They will interfere to create a crest with an amplitude of 4. They will interfere to create a crest with an amplitude of 2. They will interfere to create a crest with an amplitude of 0. They will bounce off each another.

Since the two waves have equal amplitudes, if the crest of one wave
meets the trough of the other one, they'll add to produce a level of zero
at that location.

The correct answer to the question is- They will interfere to create a crest with an amplitude of 0.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand destructive interference.

The two super imposing waves are said to be doing destructive interference if the crest of one wave falls on the trough of another wave.

Let the amplitudes of  two waves are A and B.

The phases difference (\theta) will be 180 degree for destructive interference.

Hence,the amplitude of the resultant wave is calculated as -

                                          R =  \sqrt{A^2+B^2+2ABcos\theta}

                                             = \sqrt{A^2+B^2+2ABcos180}

                                             = \sqrt{A^2+B^2-2AB}

                                             = A-B

Here, the amplitude of first wave A = 2

  The amplitude of second wave B = 2

Hence, amplitude of resultant wave R = 2-2

                                                                = 0

Hence, the correct answer will be - They will interfere to create a crest with an amplitude of 0.

A 1000-kg car is traveling east at 20\:m.s^{-1}20 m . s − 1 and a 1200-kg car is traveling west at 22\:m.s^{-1}\:22 m . s − 1. W
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

490,400 J

Explanation:

Mass of first car, m = 1000 kg

Mass of second car, M = 1200 kg

velocity of first car, u = 20 m/s east

velocity of second car, U = 22 m/s west

The formula for the kinetic energy is

k = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

where, m is the body and v be the velocity of the body.

Total kinetic energy is given by

k = \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}+\frac{1}{2}MU^{2}

k = \frac{1}{2}\times1000\times20^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times1200\times22^{2}

k = 200000 + 290400

k = 490,400 J

Thus, the total kinetic energy of the system is 490,400 J.

What subatomic particle acts like a mini-magnet?
Semenov [28]
 The subatomic particles that acts like a mini-magnet is electron. Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles in an atom. The electron spin is a property of an electron that makes it behave like it's spinning; a spinning electron produces a magnetic field that makes it behave like a tiny magnet in an atom.

Electric charge is distributed over the disk x2 + y2 ≤ 4 so that the charge density at (x, y) is rho(x, y) = 4x + 4y + 4x2 + 4y2
maw [93]

Answer:

Q=185.84C

Explanation:

We have to take into account the integral

Q=\int \rho dV

In this case we have a superficial density in coordinate system.

Hence, we have for R: x2 + y2 ≤ 4

Q=\int_{-2}^2\int_{-\sqrt{4-x^2}}^{\sqrt{4-x^2}}\rho dydx

but, for symmetry:

Q=4\int_0^2\int_0^{\sqrt{4-x^2}}\rho dydx\\\\Q=4\int_0^2\int_0^{\sqrt{4-x^2}}(4x+4y+4x^2+4y^2) dydx\\\\Q=4\int_0^{2}[4x\sqrt{4-x^2}+2(4-x^2)+4x^2\sqrt{4-x^2}+\frac{4}{3}(4-x^2)^{3/2}]dx\\\\Q=4[46.46]=185.84C
