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

$r = |r_1 + r_2|$

Degger [83]

Answer:

The force required to push to stop the car is 288.67 N

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 1 m/s

The car and push on the hood at an angle of 30° below horizontal, $\theta=30^{\circ}$

Distance, d = 2 m

Let F is the force must you push to stop the car.

According work energy theorem theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy as :

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)F\times d=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

$v = 0$

$Fd\ cos\theta=\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2) F=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2)}{d\ cos\theta}F=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1000\times (1)^2}{2\ cos(30)}F = -288.67 N$

The force required to push to stop the car is 288.67 N

A spherical shell is rolling without slipping at constant speed on a level floor. What percentage of the shell's total kinetic e

IgorC [24]

Answer:

41.667 per cent of the total kinetic energy is translational kinetic energy.

Explanation:

As the spherical shell is rolling without slipping at constant speed, the system can be considered as conservative due to the absence of non-conservative forces (i.e. drag, friction) and energy equation can be expressed only by the Principle of Energy Conservation, whose total energy is equal to the sum of rotational and translational kinetic energies. That is to say:

$E = K_{t} + K_{r}$

Where:

$E$ - Total energy, measured in joules.

$K_{r}$ - Rotational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$K_{t}$ - Translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

The spherical shell can be considered as a rigid body, since there is no information of any deformation due to the motion. Then, rotational and translational components of kinetic energy are described by the following equations:

Rotational kinetic energy

$K_{r} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot I_{g}\cdot \omega^{2}$

Translational kinetic energy

$K_{t} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}$

Where:

$I_{g}$ - Moment of inertia of the spherical shell with respect to its center of mass, measured in $kg\cdot m^{2}$ .

$\omega$ - Angular speed of the spherical shell, measured in radians per second.

$R$ - Radius of the spherical shell, measured in meters.

After replacing each component and simplifying algebraically, the total energy of the spherical shell is equal to:

$E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (I_{g} + m\cdot R^{2})\cdot \omega^{2}$

In addition, the moment of inertia of a spherical shell is equal to:

$I_{g} = \frac{2}{3}\cdot m\cdot R^{2}$

Then, total energy is reduced to this expression:

$E = \frac{5}{6}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}$

The fraction of the total kinetic energy that is translational in percentage is given by the following expression:

$\%K_{t} = \frac{K_{t}}{E}\times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2} }{\frac{5}{6}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2} } \times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = \frac{5}{12}\times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = 41.667\,\%$

41.667 per cent of the total kinetic energy is translational kinetic energy.

Is the earth's gravitational force on the sun larger than, smaller than, or equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth?

Leona [35]

Answer:

The earth's gravitational force on the sun is equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In other words, when two objects exert a force on each other, then the magnitude of the two forces is the same (while the directions are opposite).

In this problem, we can call the Sun as "object A" and the Earth as "object B". According to Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun is equal (in magnitude, and opposite in direction) to the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.

What is the definition of Mutualism

noname [10]

Mutualism is a long-term relationship where two organisms interact in such a way that both of them benefits from that relationship.

For example, there is a relationship between a bird called "oxpecker", and a rhino. While the bird eats the harmful bugs (eg. tick) on the rhino's skin and relieves its hunger; the rhino gets rid of the bugs that harm it.

A 2.26 kg book is dropped from a height 1.5m what is its acceleration

Arada [10]

The answer is 9.8 ms^-2, because there is only one force acting on the object so the acceleration will be numerically equal to the gravitational field strength.
