6 0
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. If two in-phase waves arrive simultaneously at a point, their amplitudes add up.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>According to the principle of superposition, when two waves of the same kind meet at a point in space, the resultant displacement at that point is the vector sum of the displacements that the two waves would separately produce at that point.</u>
  • Interference involves the superposing of two or more coherent waves to produce regions of maxima and minima in space, according to the principle of superposition.
  • Interference may be constructive or destructive; Constructive interference occurs when two or more waves arrive at the screen in phase with each other, such that the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitude of the individual waves.
  • Destructive interference occurs when two or more waves arrive out of phase with each other and resultant wave has minimum amplitude.

When an object is lifted 6 meters off the ground, it gains a certain amount of potential energy. If the same object is lifted 12
e-lub [12.9K]

When the object is lifted 6 meters of the ground , then lifted to 12 meters, it is lifted twice as high ( 6 x 2 = 12).

This means the potential energy is also doubled.

The diagram shows a ball resting at the top of a hill.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

Explanation:

Let be X the point where a ball rests at the top of a hill. By applying the Principle of Energy Conservation, the total energy in the physical system remains constant and gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill is equal to the sum of kinetic energy, a lower gravitational energy and dissipated work due to nonconservative forces (friction, dragging).

U_{grav, X} = U_{grav, Y} + K_{Y} + \Delta W_{X \rightarrow Y} = U_{grav,Z}+\Delta W_{X \rightarrow Z}

Conclusions are showed as follows:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

b) The kinetic energy is the lowest at X and Z.

c) Total energy remains constant as the ball moves from X to Y.

Hence, the correct answer is A.

During a supernova, the outer layers of a star are blown off and the star's core shrinks down by a factor of 10,000 or more to f
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a. the core will spin faster.

Explanation:

By law of conservation of angular momentum

(mvR)i= (mvR)f

m= mass of star

v= speed of star

R= radius of star

i= initial

f= final

since, size(R) of the star is reduced by factor of 10,000 and mass remains the same, the velocity must increase by the same factor to keep the angular momentum conserved.

Hence, a. the core will spin faster.

Use free fall in a sentance
Softa [21]
Free fall means rapid fall or a downward motion due to gravity. Sentence example: When Joe was accidentally bumped by Sarah, he was sent towards a free fall down the escalator, leading to a serious injury on his arm and two legs.
