How could two waves on a rope interfere so the rope does not move at all?

Physics

coldgirl [10]4 years ago

Answer:

If a crest formed by one wave interferes with a trough formed by the other wave then the rope will not move at all.

Explanation:

Assume a straight rope tied to both ends is at rest. When a wave is created at one end of the rope, it travels to the other end of the rope through formation of alternative crest and trough. Due to these crest and trough the rope shifts up and down.

But when there are two waves travelling through the rope and both have opposite direction (directed towards one another) in such a way that crest formed by one wave is interfering with the trough formed by the other wave then due to this interference the waves will cancel the effects of each other on the rope and rope will be stable.

enot [183]

Answer:  Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules (how hot or cold something feels). Heat energy is the energy created y the motion of the molecules in an object. Heat flows from hot body to cold body. Temperature rises when heated and falls down when an object is cooled down.

There are three main scales commonly used in the world today to measure temperature: the Fahrenheit (°F) scale, the Celsius (°C) scale, and the Kelvin (K) scale. Each of these scales uses a different set of divisions based on different reference points, as described in detail below.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

c. 43 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Displacement, S = 90 meters

Time, t = 5.55 seconds

To find the initial velocity;

We would use the second equation of motion given by the formula;

S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}

Where;

  • S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.
  • u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.
  • t represents the time measured in seconds.
  • a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

We know that acceleration due to gravity is -9.8m/s² because the direction is downward.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

90 = u*5.55  + \frac {1}{2}*(-9.8)*5.55^{2}

90 = u5.55 - 4.9*30.8025

90 = u5.55 - 150.93225

Rearranging the equation, we have;

u5.55 = 90 + 150.93225

u5.55 = 240.93225

u = \frac {240.93225}{5.55}

Initial velocity, u = 43.41 ≈ 41 m/s

A 20-Kg child is on a swing attached to 3.0 m-long chains. The child swings back and forth, swinging out to a 60-degree angle. (
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

 v = 29.4 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Lowest starting point.

          Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

final point. Higher

          Em_{f} = U = m g h

Let's use trigonometry to lock her up

          cos 60 = y / L

          y = L cos 60

Height is the initial length minus the length at the maximum angle

           h = L - L cos 60

           h = L (1- cos 60)

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_{f}

          ½ m v² = mgL (1 - cos 60)

         v = 2g L (1- cos 60)

 

let's calculate

          v² = 2 9.8 3.0 (1- cos 60)

          v = 29.4 m / s
