What happens when the crests of two waves overlap

1 answer:

4 0

There are two main types of wave interference: constructive interference and destructive interference. Constructive interference happens when the amplitude of the combined waves is larger than the amplitudes of the single waves. This can occur when the crests of two transverse waves overlap.

Hope this helps!!! :D

A football is thrown vertically with an initial velocity of 33m/s. Calculate the velocity of the ball when it’s height increased

tatyana61 [14]

The final velocity becomes 31.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity, u = 33 m/s

Height, h = 5m

Final velocity, v = ?

According to Newton's law:

v² - u² = 2gh

where,

g is the acceleration due to gravity and

g = 9.8 m/s²

On substituting the values we get:

$v^2 - (33)^2 = 2 X -9.8 X 5\\\\v^2 - 1089 = -98\\\\v^2 = 991\\\\v = 31.48 m/s$

Therefore, the final velocity becomes 31.48 m/s

An open train car moves with speed 18.5 m/s on a flat frictionless railroad track, with no engine pulling the car. It begins to

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The speed decreases.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the conservation of linear momentum.

Since there is no friction, the initial moment of the train must be equal to its linear moment after it is filled with water.

the initial linear momentum is

$m_{1}v_{1}$

where $m_{1}$ is the initial mass of the train, and $v_{1}$ the initial speed of the train.

And linear momentum after the water filled the train car is

$m_{2}v_{2}$

where $m_{2}$ is mass of the train after the rain, and $v_{2}$ the speed of the train after the rain

the equality must be fulfilled:

$m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}$

We know that if water is added to the train, $m_{2}$ that is the mass after the water is added, is greater than $m_{1}$ which is the mass of the train without the water.

Therefore, in order for the conservation of the linear momentum to be fulfilled: $m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}$

the speed after the water is added ( $v_{2}$ ) must be smaller than the initial train speed ( $v_{1}$ ) . So the speed of the car decreases.

Help would be greatly appreciated:) thank you! a pendulum clock is brought to mars. How does the bob move on Mars as compared to

Alborosie

It runs slower as gravity is lower so acceleration due to gravity is smaller

Modern nuclear bomb tests have created an extra high level of14C in our atmosphere. When future archaeologistsdate samples from

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Too old(Ex. if real time is 1000 then they estimate >1000)

Explanation:

This is because with time our planet may have a definite function which describes temperature.(Because of all the factors and global warming except nuclear bomb testing)

Now nuclear test on planet have significant effect on temperature rise.

Also 14°C rise in temperature is good one because of this.

If future archaeologists only consider that uniform function as above mentioned then they estimate more time then the real one.

Thus too old is right answer.
