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

Hope this helps!!! :D

On a safety test course, a 1000 kg car heading north at 5 m/s collides head-on with an 800 kg car heading south at 4 m/s. At the
Luden [163]

Answer:

The speed is 3.5\frac{m}{s} and the direction is heading north.

Explanation:

In collisions the force exerted by the objects that collide is higher enough than the external forces that we can neglect that external forces, with that assumption we can use the conservation fo momentum law that states, final total momentum (pf) is equal initial total momentum (pi) if there’re not external forces or they are small enough to be neglected. Mathematically:

p_f=p_i

The total momentum is the sum of the momentum of each of the bodies we're dealing, in our case the moment of each car, then:

p_{nf}+p_{sf}=p_{ni}+p_{si}

with pn the momentum of the 1000kg car heading north and ps the 800kg car heading south. Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, then:

m_nv_{nf}+m_sv_{sf}=m_nv_{ni}+m_sv_{si} (1)

It's important to note that when we talk about momentum and velocity direction matters, so we're are going to choose a system of reference where quantities pointing north are positive and pointing south are negative. So, the initial velocity of 1000 kg car is vni=5 m/s, initial velocity of 800 kg car is vsi=-4 m/s and the final velocity of 1000 kg car is vnf=-1 m/s. Now we can solve (1) for vsf and use the values we already have:

v_{sf}=\frac{m_nv_{ni}+m_sv_{si}-m_nv_{nf}}{m_s}=\frac{(1000)(5)+(800)(-4)-(1000)(-1)}{800}

v_{sf}=3.5\frac{m}{s}

Because the sign is positive the direction is to heading north.

Juliette [100K]

<u>Out of all given choices, the following statements are true:</u>

  • An ammeter is used to measure current.
  • A voltmeter is used to measure voltage.
  • A voltmeter must be placed in parallel with a resistor to measure the voltage across the resistor.

Options A, E, and F

<u>Explanation:</u>

An instrument by which the current in a circuit is measured is  called ammeter whereas an instrument in which voltage is measured in a circuit is called a voltmeter . The ammeter is placed in series with the resistor while the voltmeter is placed in parallel with the resistor.

For the option B, since the ammeter must be placed in series with the resistor to measure current, it is false. Option C is false because an ammeter has zero internal resistance. Option D is also false because a voltmeter has a high internal resistance and is actually infinite.
