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

Two boats leave the same port at the same time, with boat A traveling north at 15 knots (nautical miles per hour) and boat B tra
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The chance in distance is 25 knots

Explanation:

The distance between the two particles is given by:

s^2 = (x_A - x_B)^2+(y_A - y_B)^2  (1)

Since A is traveling north and B is traveling east we can say that their displacement vector are perpendicular and therefore (1) transformed as:

s^2 = x_B^2+y_A^2 (2)

Taking the differential with respect to time:

\displaystyle{2s\frac{ds}{dt}= 2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt}}  (3)

where \displaystyle{\frac{dx_B}{dt}}=v_B and \displaystyle{\frac{dx_A}{dt}}=v_A are the respective given velocities of the boats. To find s and x_B we make use of the given position for A, y_A=30, the Pythagoras theorem and the relation between distance and velocity for a movement with constant velocity.

\displaystyle{y_A = v_A\cdot t\rightarrow t = \frac{y_A}{v_A}=\frac{30}{15}=2 h

with this time, we know can now calculate the distance at which B is:

\displaystyle{x_B = v_B\cdot t= 20 \cdot 2 = 40\ nmi

and applying Pythagoras:

\displaystyle{s = \sqrt{x_B^2+y_A^2}=\sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}=\sqrt{2500}=50}

Now substituting all the values in (3) and solving for  \displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} } we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{1}{2s}(2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt})}\\\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = 25 \ knots}
