Answer:

constructive λ = 130 m

destructive λ = 260 m

Explanation:

a) the expression for constructive interference is that the difference in amino is equal to a multiple of the average wavelength

AQ - BQ = 2m λ/ 2 m = 0, 1, 2, ...

Where

AQ = 130 +50 = 180 m

BQ = 50 m

To find the smallest wavelength let's use m = 1

180 - 50 = 2 1 λ/ 2

λ = 130 m

b) for destructive interference

AQ –BQ = (2m + 1) λ/2

The smallest value is for m = 0

130 = λ / 2

λ = 260 m

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet. Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially relea

grandymaker [24]

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet.

(a) Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 6 ft/s.

(b) How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?

Answer:

$A = 1.803 ft$

Period = $\frac{\pi}{2}$ seconds

8 cycles

Explanation:

A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet;

it implies that the mass (m) = $\frac{w}{g}$

m= $\frac{32}{32}$

= 1 slug

Also from Hooke's Law

2 k = 32

k = $\frac{32}{2}$

k = 16 lb/ft

Using the function:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt} = - 16x\\\frac{d^2x}{dt} + 16x =0$

$x(0) = -1$ (because of the initial position being above the equilibrium position)

$x(0) = -6$ ( as a result of upward velocity)

NOW, we have:

$x(t)=c_1cos4t+c_2sin4t\\x^{'}(t) = 4(-c_1sin4t+c_2cos4t)$

However;

$x(0) = -1$ means

$-1 =c_1\\c_1 = -1$

$x(0) =-6$ also implies that:

$-6 =4(c_2)\\c_2 = - \frac{6}{4}$

$c_2 = -\frac{3}{2}$

Hence, $x(t) =-cos4t-\frac{3}{2} sin 4t$

$A = \sqrt{C_1^2+C_2^2}$

$A = \sqrt{(-1)^2+(\frac{3}{2})^2 }$

$A=\sqrt{\frac{13}{4} }$

$A= \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{13}$

$A = 1.803 ft$

Period can be calculated as follows:

= $\frac{2 \pi}{4}$

= $\frac{\pi}{2}$ seconds

How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?

At the end of 4 seconds, we have:

$x* \frac{\pi}{2} = 4 \pi$

$x \pi = 8 \pi$

$x=8$ cycles

Problem 1: Two sources emit waves that are coherent, in phase, and have wavelengths of 26.0 m. Do the waves interfere constructi

Anton [14]

1) Destructive interference

The condition for constructive interference to occur is:

$\delta = m\lambda$ (1)

where

$\delta =|d_1 -d_2|$ is the path difference, with

$d_1$ is the distance of the point from the first source

$d_2$ is the distance of the point from the second source

m is an integer number

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

In this problem, we have

$d_1 = 78.0 m\\d_2 = 143 m\\\lambda=26.0 m$

So let's use eq.(1) to see if the resulting m is an integer

$\delta =|78.0 m-143 m|=65 m\\m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{65 m}{26.0 m}=2.5$

It is not an integer so constructive interference does not occur.

Let's now analyze the condition for destructive interference:

$\delta = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$ (2)

If we apply the same procedure to eq.(2), we find

$m=\frac{\delta}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{65.0 m}{26.0 m}-0.5=2$

which is an integer: so, this point is a point of destructive interference.

2) Constructive interference

In this case we have

$d_1 = 91.0 m\\d_2 =221.0 m$

So the path difference is

$\delta =|91.0 m-221.0 m|=130.0 m$

Using the condition for constructive interference:

$m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{130.0 m}{26.0 m}=5$

Which is an integer, so this is a point of constructive interference.

3) Destructive interference

In this case we have

$d_1 = 44.0 m\\d_2 =135.0 m$

So the path difference is

$\delta =|44.0 m-135.0 m|=91.0 m$

Using the condition for constructive interference:

$m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{91.0 m}{26.0 m}=3.5$

This is not an integer, so this is not a point of constructive interference.

So let's use now the condition for destructive interference:

$m=\frac{\delta}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{91.0 m}{26.0 m}-0.5=3$

which is an integer: so, this point is a point of destructive interference.

What is the minimum force required to increase the energy of a car by 84 J over a distance of 38 m? Assume the force is constant

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

2.210N

Explanation:

Workdone = Force x distance

Distance = 38m , Workdone = 84J

Hence 84J = Force x 38m

Force = 84J / 38m

Force = 2.210N =2.2N

A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff above the ground level with initial velocity of at an angle with the horizontal. (

Xelga [282]

Answer:

t = √2y/g

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch exercise

a) The vertical velocity in the initial instants ( $v_{oy}$ = 0) zero, so let's use the equation

y = $v_{oy}$ t -1/2 g t²

y= - ½ g t²

t = √2y/g

b) Let's use this time and the horizontal displacement equation, because the constant horizontal velocity

x = vox t

x = v₀ₓ √2y/g

c) Speeds before touching the ground

vₓ = vox = constant

$v_{y}$ = $v_{oy}$ - gt

$v_{y}$ = 0 - g √2y/g

$v_{y}$ = - √2gy

tan θ = Vy / vx

θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

θ = tan⁻¹ (√2gy / vox)

d) The projectile is higher than the cliff because it is a horizontal launch

It takes you 5 min to walk with an average velocity of .75 m/s to the north from the parking lot to the entrance of the amusemen

skad [1K]

A displacement is a vector quantity that takes into account the shortest distance from the starting point to the endpoint.

The given above gave a time interval in minutes which needs to be converted to seconds. Given that each minute is 60 seconds, 5 minutes equal 300 seconds. To determine the distance, multiply time with speed. The product is 225 m.

Thus, the displacement is 225 m.
