What is meant by constructive and destructive interference

Physics
1 answer:
LenaWriter [7]4 years ago
6 0
In waveform physics, constructive and destructive interference describes the way two different waves interact with one another. If two waves are aligned such that the peaks of both are in the same spot, the waves experience constructive interference - the two add together and become a single, more powerful wave. The opposite happens if the peak of one meets the trough of the other - the two cancel each other out, and the magnitude of the combined wave is lesser than the individual waves. There are also other, more complex versions of interference if they don’t align cleanly, but the most common descriptions of interference are the ones described above.

Hope this helps!

A student pushes a 2.85 kg cart causing it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s squared .What amount of force must the student hav
uysha [10]
In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.

Two balls of mass m1 and m2, with velocities v1 and v2 collide head on. Is there any way for both balls to have zero velocity af
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the final Kinetic energy is zero or less than initial kinetic energy, the collision must be inelastic.  

In Inelastic collision both the bodies must stick together as final velocity is zero for both the bodies.

To conserve the momentum, momentum associated before the collision of first must be equal and opposite to the momentum associated with the second ball.

i.e.

m_1v_1=m_2v_2

A car accelerates from rest. It reaches a velocity of 25m/s in 10 seconds. What was the cars acceleration?
mixer [17]

Answer:

We are Given:

initial velocity (u) = 0m/s

final velocity (v) = 25 m/s

time (t) = 10 seconds

acceleration (a)  = a m/s/s

From the first equation of motion, we know that:

v = u + at

solving for a, we get:

a = (v-u) / t

now, plugging the given values in this equation

a = (25 - 0) / 10

a = 25 / 10

a = 2.5 m/s/s

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 2.5 m/s/s

A wire carrying a 32.0 A current passes between the poles of a strong magnet such that the wire is perpendicular to the magnet's
marin [14]

Answer:

2.24 T

Explanation:

From Electromagnetic Field,

F = BILsin∅................ Equation 1

Where F = Force on the wire, B = Field strength, I = current flowing in the conductor, L = length of the conductor, ∅ = The angle the conductor makes with the magnetic field.

Making B the subject of the equation,

B = F/ILsin∅..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 2.15 N, I = 32 A, L = 3.00 cm = 0.03 m, ∅ = 90° ( the wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field)

Substitute into equation 2

B = 2.15/(32×0.03×sin90°)

B = 2.15/0.96

B = 2.24 T.

Hence the Field strength = 2.24 T

What is the force if the mass is 75kg and the acceleration is 24.5m/s^2
Snowcat [4.5K]

<u>Given;</u>

mass m = 75 kg

acceleration a = 24.5 ms²

<em>F = ma </em>

F  =  75 kg * 24.5 ms²

    =  1837.5 kg ms².
