Answer:

Resultant amplitude is 0.53 m.

Explanation:

Amplitude is defined as the maximum displacement of wave particles from their respective mean positions.

The resulting amplitude of any two waves is given by the relation :

A = \sqrt{A_{1} ^{2} + A_{2} ^{2} + 2A_{1}A_{2}\cos x   }

Here, A is resultant amplitude, A₁ and A₂ are the amplitudes of two waves respectively and x is the difference in phase angle of the two waves.

According to the problem, A₁ is 0.4 m , A₂ is 0.23 m and x is zero. So, the above equation becomes,

A = \sqrt{0.4^{2} + 0.23^{2} + 2\times 0.4\times 0.23\times cos 0   }

A = \sqrt{0.16 + 0.053 + 0.184   }

A = 0.63 m

Which electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?How do you know?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Gamma Rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays have the highest energies the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies. They have the highest energies because they have the highest frequencies, the higher the frequency the more energy. ( I think, maybe double check with other answers )

Good Luck :)

A weight suspended from a spring is seen to bob up and down over a total distance of 20 centimeters twice each second.
Zielflug [23.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

8. 2 Hz

9. 0.5 seconds

10. 20 cm


<u>Explanation</u>

<u>Q 8</u>

Frequency is the number of oscillation in a unit time. It is the rate at which something repeats itself in a second.

In this case, the spring bob up and down 2 times per second.

∴ Frequency = 2 Hz

<u>Q 9</u>

Period is the time taken to complete one oscillation.

2 oscillations takes 1 second

1 oscillation = 1/2 seconds.

∴ Period = 0.5 seconds


<u>Q 10</u>

Amplitude is the the maximum displacement of the spring.

In this case the spring bob up 20 cm. This is it's displacement.

∴ Amplitude = 20 cm

A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible (free body diagram)
timofeeve [1]

In a free body diagram for an object projected upwards;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards.
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

An object projected upwards is subjected to influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object accelerates upwards, its velocity decreases until the object reaches maximum height where its velocity becomes zero and as the object descends its velocity increases, which eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

To construct a free body diagram for this motion, we consider the following;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

<u>For instance:</u>

upward motion for velocity  ↑        downward motion for velocity  ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

acceleration due to gravity ↓

                                             ↓

                                             ↓
