What is meant by constructive and destructive interference

Physics
1 answer:
LenaWriter [7]3 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!

katrin [286]

Answer:

a = 0.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force equation: F = ma

F = ma -> a = F/m = 2.8*10^3 N / 3.5*10^3 kg = 0.8 m/s^2

6. A satellite is orbiting Earth just above its surface. The centripetal force making the satellite follow a circular trajectory
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Engular velocity: w=1,24*10^{-3}/s

Linear velocity: V=7905 m/s

The time it takes:

t=5060s=84min

Explanation:

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration can be related to the angular velocity and radius as:

(1)a=r*w^{2}

Solving for w:

(2)w=\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }

Replacing a=9,8m/s2 and r=6,375,000m:

(3)w=\sqrt{\frac{9,8m/s^{2}}{6375000m} }=1,24*10^{-3}/s

And the angular velocity relates to the linear velocity:

V=w*r=1,24*10^{-3}/s*6375000m=7905 m/s

The perimeter of the orbit is:

P=\pi *2*r=\pi *2*6375000m=40.05*10^{6}m

The time it takes:

t=\frac{P}{V} =\frac{40.05*10^{6}m}{7905 m/s}=5060s=84min

1. What layer of the Earth is<br> flowing, solid and plastic?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The mantle

Explanation:

The mantle is a plastic solid of varying densities which allow convection currents to flow molten rock towards the earth's surface resulting in volcanic activity, tectonic plate movement, earthquakes, and movement of continents.
