Which of the following is not conserved?

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of

erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.

Is the frictional force the same as the applied force when the net force equals zero?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Since the net force is to the right (in the direction of the applied force), then the applied force must be greater than the friction force. The friction force can be determined using an understanding of net force as the vector sum of all the forces.

The masses are m1 = m, with initial velocity 2v0, and m2 = 7.4m, with initial velocity v0. Due to the collision, they stick toge

lesya [120]

Answer:

Loss, $\Delta E=-10.63\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of particle 1, $m_1=m =0.66\ kg$

Mass of particle 2, $m_2=7.4m =4.884\ kg$

Speed of particle 1, $v_1=2v_o=2\times 6=12\ m/s$

Speed of particle 2, $v_2=v_o=6\ m/s$

To find,

The magnitude of the loss in kinetic energy after the collision.

Solve,

Two particles stick together in case of inelastic collision. Due to this, some of the kinetic energy gets lost.

Applying the conservation of momentum to find the speed of two particles after the collision.

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V$

$V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

$V=\dfrac{0.66\times 12+4.884\times 6}{(0.66+4.884)}$

V = 6.71 m/s

Initial kinetic energy before the collision,

$K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2)$

$K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}(0.66\times 12^2+4.884\times 6^2)$

$K_i=135.43\ J$

Final kinetic energy after the collision,

$K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)V^2$

$K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}(0.66+4.884)\times 6.71^2$

$K_f=124.80\ J$

Lost in kinetic energy,

$\Delta K=K_f-K_i$

$\Delta K=124.80-135.43$

$\Delta E=-10.63\ J$

Therefore, the magnitude of the loss in kinetic energy after the collision is 10.63 Joules.

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet

vampirchik [111]

Planet A;
m = the mass
Let r = the radius

Planet B:
Let M = the mass
The radius is 2r (twice the radius of planet A)

The surface gravitational acceleration of planets A and B (they have the same surface gravity) are
$g= \frac{Gm}{r^{2}} \, and \, g= \frac{GM}{(2r)^{2}} \\\\ m= \frac{M}{4} \\\\ M=4m$

Answer: The mass of planet B is 4m.
