Two sinusoidal waves travel along the same string. They have the same wavelength and frequency. Their amplitudes are ym1 = 2.5 m

m and ym2 = 4.5 mm, and their phases are π / 4 rad and π / 2 rad, respectively. What are the amplitude and phase of the resultant wave?

Answer:

0.5 m

Explanation:

Givens:

ym1 = 2.5 mm

ym2 = 4.5 mm

Ф_1=π / 4

Ф_2=π / 2

We have 2 ways to solve this problem. The first one given that the 2 waves have the frequency then we know that the resultant wave amplitude is

Ym = (ym1 + ym2)cos(Ф_2/2)

By substitution we have  

Ym= (0.025 + 0.045)cos(π/4) = 0.496 m

The second one is it treat them as Phasors where the phase between them is Ф_2=π / 2 Therefore  

Ym^2=(ym1^2+ym2^2)

So we have Ym=√0.025^2+0.045^2

                         = 0.5 m

Kitty [74]

Answer:

B. Must eat to get energy

Explanation:

The common characteristics of all consumers is that they must eat to get energy. This way, they are termed heterotrophs.

Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot make their own food. They must eat other organisms to obtain nutrition for energy needs.

Plants do not do this. They are autotrophs in that they simply make their own food.

They use this food to obtain energy for their living activities.
