When two or more waves combine to produce a new wave, that's 'interference'.

-- If the new wave has larger displacements (amplitude), then it's <em>CON</em>structive interference.

-- If the new wave has smaller displacements (amplitude), then it's DEstructive interference.

Answer:

Due to constructive interference of two or more waves the net displacement is larger than the displacement of each wave.

Explanation:

When two or more waves superimpose at a point then the resultant displacement of medium particles is given by vector sum of displacement caused by each wave.

This phenomenon is known as superposition of waves and this is superposition of waves for coherent waves is known as interference.

Now in interference the net displacement is given by

r = \sqrt{r_1^2 + r_2^2 + 2r_1r_2cos\theta}

here

r_1, r_2 = displacement due to each wave

\theta = phase difference between two waves

now if it gives constructive interference then they two waves must be in same phase and hence the resultant displacement must be more than the individual wave

r = |r_1 + r_2|

A net force of 60 N north acts on an object with a mass of 30 kg. Use Newton's second law of
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma. For us, this looks like

60 = 30a and

a = 2 m/s/s

If the force goes up to, say, 90, then

90 = 30a and

a = 3...if the force goes up, the acceleration also goes up.

If the mass goes up to say, 60, and the force stays the same, then

60 = 60a and

a = 1...if the mass goes up, the acceleration goes down.

Put the following events in the order they occurred to lead to the formation of the solar system:
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Third → First → Second → Fourth

Explanation:

Initially helium and Hydrogen in abundance started to form atoms

Following the atoms formation by hydrogen and helium bombardment of new matter into the Earth took place.

The bombardment of matter resulted in separation of Earth into respective layers based on the weight of the matter.

A primitive ocean was created as a result of off gassing of the volcanoes.

We think of sound as something we hear—something that makes noise. But in pure physics terms, sound is just a vibration going through matter.

The way a vibration “goes through” matter is in the form of a sound wave. When you think of sound waves, you probably think of something like this:1

But that’s not how sound waves work. A wave like that is called a transverse wave, where each individual particle moves up and down to create a snake situation.

A sound wave is more like an earthworm situation:2

Like an earthworm, sound moves by compressing and decompressing. This is called a longitudinal wave. A slinky can do both kinds of waves:13

Sound starts with a vibration of some kind creating a longitudinal wave through matter. Check this out:4

That’s what sound looks like—except picture an expanding ripple of spheres doing that. In this animation, the sound wave is being generated by that vibrating grey bar on the left. The bar might be your vocal chords, a guitar string, or a waterfall continually pounding down into the river below. By looking at the red dots, you can see that even though the wave moves in one direction, each individual particle only moves back and forth, mimicking the vibration of the gray bar.

So instead of a curvy snake wave, sound is a pressure wave, which causes each piece of the air to be at either higher-than-normal pressure or lower-than-normal pressure. So when you see a snake-like illustration of a sound wave, it’s referring to the measure of pressure, not the literal path of movement of the particles:5
