This is the constructive or destructive overlap of waves.

1 answer:

6 0

Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individual waves upon the particles of the medium.

A 4.00 µf capacitor is connected to a 12.0 v battery.

atroni [7]

(a) The capacitance of the capacitor is:
$C=4 \mu F=4 \cdot 10^{-6}F$
and the voltage applied across its plates is
$V=12.0 V$

The relationship between the charge Q on each plate of the capacitor, the capacitance and the voltage is:
$C= \frac{Q}{V}$
and re-arranging it we find the charge stored in the capacitor:
$Q=CV=(4 \cdot 10^{-6} F)(12.0 V)=4.8 \cdot 10^{-5} C$

(b) The electrical potential energy stored in a capacitor is given by
$U= \frac{1}{2}CV^2$
where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage. The new voltage is
$V=1.50 V$
so the energy stored in the capacitor is
$U= \frac{1}{2}(4 \cdot 10^{-6} F)(1.50 V)^2=4.5 \cdot 10^{-6} J$

Two carts, one twice as heavy as the other, are at rest on a horizontal track. A person pushes each cart for 8 s. Ignoring frict

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The correct option is: B that is 1/2 K

Explanation:

Given:

Two carts of different masses, same force were applied for same duration of time.

Mass of the lighter cart = $m$

Mass of the heavier cart = $2m$

We have to find the relationship between their kinetic energy:

Let the KE of cart having mass m be "K".

and KE of cart having mass m be "K1".

As it is given regarding Force and time so we have to bring in picture the concept of momentum Δp and find a relation with KE.

Numerical analysis.

⇒ $KE = \frac{mv^2}{2}$

⇒ $KE = \frac{mv^2}{2}\times \frac{m}{m}$

⇒ $KE = \frac{m^2v^2}{2}\times \frac{1}{m}$

⇒ $KE = \frac{(mv)^2}{2}\times \frac{1}{m}$

⇒ $KE = \frac{(\triangle p)^2}{2}\times \frac{1}{m}$

⇒ $KE = \frac{(\triangle p)^2}{2m}=\frac{(F\times t)^2}{2m}$

Now,

Kinetic energies and their ratios in terms of momentum or impulse.

KE (K) of mass m.

⇒ $K=\frac{(F\times t)^2}{2m}$ ...equation (i)

KE (K1) of mass 2m.

⇒ $K_1=\frac{(F\times t)^2}{2\times 2m}$

⇒ $K_1=\frac{(F\times t)^2}{4m}$ ...equation (ii)

Lets divide K1 and K to find the relationship between the two carts's KE.

⇒ $\frac{K_1}{K} =\frac{(F\times t)^2}{4m} \times \frac{2m}{(F\times t)^2}$

⇒ $\frac{K_1}{K} =\frac{2m}{4m}$

⇒ $\frac{K_1}{K} =\frac{2}{4}$

⇒ $\frac{K_1}{K} =\frac{1}{2}$

⇒ $K_1=\frac{K}{2}$

⇒ $K_1=\frac{1}{2}K$

The kinetic energy of the heavy cart after the push compared to the kinetic energy of the light cart is 1/2 K.

The count rate of a radioactive source decreases from 1600 counts per minute to 400 counts per minute in 12 hours. What is the h

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

$t_{1/2}=6 h$

Explanation:

Let's use the decay equation.

$A=A_{0}e^{-\lambda t}$

Where:

A is the activity at t time
A₀ is the initial activity
λ is the decay constant

We know that $\lambda=\frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}$

So we have:

$\lambda=\frac{ln(A/A_{0})}{t}$

$\frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}=\frac{ln(A/A_{0})}{t}$

$t_{1/2}=\frac{t*ln(2)}{ln(A/A_{0})}$

$t_{1/2}=6 h$

Therefore, the half-life of the source is 6 hours.

I hope it helps you!

Charges that are different each other

adell [148]

Answer:

Like charges repel each other; unlike charges attract. Thus, two negative charges repel one another, while a positive charge attracts a negative charge. The attraction or repulsion acts along the line between the two charges. The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges.
