Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individual waves upon the particles of the medium.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

Interference: It is the phenomenon in which there is a superposition of the waves occur to form a resultant wave. The interference can be : Destructive and constructive depending on the amplitude of the resulting wave.

The amplitude of the resulting wave can be maximum and minimum.

When the amplitude of the resulting wave is minimum then the destructive interference will occur in this case. When the amplitude of the resulting wave is maximum then the constructive interference will occur.

Therefore, when two light waves travelling from the same direction of displacement meet then interference will occur.

In the sum →A+→B=→C, vector →A has a magnitude of 12.0 m and is angled 40.0° counterclockwise from the +x direction, and vector

icang [17]

Answer:

Explanation: Ok, first caracterize the two vectors that we know.

A = ax + ay = (12*cos(40°)*i + 12*sin(40°)*j) m

now, see that C is angled 20° from -x, -x is angled 180° counterclockwise from +x, so C is angled 200° counterclockwise from +x

C = cx + cy = (15*cos(200°)*i + 15*sin(200°)*j) m

where i and j refers to the versors associated to te x axis and the y axis respectively.

in a sum of vectors, we must decompose in components, so: ax + bx = cx and ay + by = cy. From this two equations we can obtain B.

bx= (15*cos(200°) - 12*cos(40°)) m = -23.288 m

by = (15*sin(200°) - 12*sin(40°)) m = -12.843 m

Now with te value of both components of B, we proceed to see his magnitude an angle relative to +x.

Lets call a to the angle between -x and B, from trigonometry we know that tg(a) = by/bx, that means a = arctg(12.843/23.288) = 28.8°

So the total angle will be 180° + 28.8° = 208.8°.

For the magnitude of B, lets call it B', we can use the angle that we just obtained.

bx = B'*cos(208.8°) so B' = (-23.288 m)/cos(208.8°) = 26.58 m.

So the magnitude of B is 26.58 m.

A pendulum of length L=36.1 cm and mass m=168 g is released from rest when the cord makes an angle of 65.4 degrees with the vert

pychu [463]

(a) -0.211 m

At the beginning the mass is displaced such that the length of the pendulum is L = 36.1 cm and the angle with the vertical is

$\theta=65.4^{\circ}$

The projection of the length of the pendulum along the vertical direction is

$L_y = L cos \theta = (36.1 cm)(cos 65.4^{\circ})=15.0 cm$

the full length of the pendulum when the mass is at the lowest position is

L = 36.1 cm

So the y-displacement of the mass is

$\Delta y = 15.0 cm - 36.1 cm = -21.1 cm = -0.211 m$

(b) 0.347 J

The work done by gravity is equal to the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the mass, which is equal to

$\Delta U = mg \Delta y$

where we have

m = 168 g = 0.168 kg is the mass of the pendulum

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

$\Delta y = 0.211 m$ is the vertical displacement of the pendulum

So, the work done by gravity is

$W=(0.168 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.211 m)=0.347 J$

And the sign is positive, since the force of gravity (downward) is in the same direction as the vertical displacement of the mass.

(c) Zero

The work done by a force is:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this situation, the tension in the string always points in a radial direction (towards the pivot of the pendulum), while the displacement of the mass is tangential (it follows a circular trajectory): this means that the tension and the displacement are always perpendicular to each other, so in the formula

$\theta=90^{\circ}, cos \theta = 0$

and so the work done is zero.
