Answer:

They will interfere to create a crest with an amplitude of 0.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wave A has an amplitude of 2, and wave B has an amplitude of 2. The superposition of two waves is called interference of wave. When the resultant wave have maximum amplitude is called constructive interference while when the amplitude of resultant completely destructs, the destructive interference happens.    

When the crest of wave A meets the trough of wave B, then destructive interference occurs. the phase difference will be 180°. There resultant is given by :

R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2ABcos(180)}

R = A - B

Here A = 2 and B = 2

⇒ R = 0

Hence, the correct option is (a) "They will interfere to create a crest with an amplitude of 0".

They will interfere to create a crest with an amplitude of 0 as it’s basically addition so 2 + (-2) would equal 0 as they cancel out

Observe yourself breathing and count the number of times you inhale per second. During each breath you probably inhale 0.66 L of
Pavel [41]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Robert Boyle's law where:

PV=nRT

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature

n = amount of substance

R = Ideal gas constant

We start by calculating the volume of inhaled O_2 for it:

V = 21\% * 0.66L

V = 0.1386L

Our values are given as

P = 1atm

T=293K R = 0.083145kJ*mol^{-1}K^{-1}

Using the equation to find n, we have:

PV=nRT

n = \frac{PV}{RT}

n = \frac{(1)(0.1386)}{(0.0821)(293)}

n = 5.761*10^{-3}mol

Number of molecules would be found through Avogadro number, then

\#Molecules = 5.761*10^{-3}*6.022*10^{23}

\#Molecules = 3.469*10^{21} molecules

Sheila weighs 60 kg and is riding a bike. Her momentum on the bike is 340 kg • m/s. The bike hits a rock, which stops it complet
Vikki [24]

Answer:

v₂ = 5.7 m/s

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of momentum here:

Total\ Initial\ Momentum = m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2}\\

where,

Total Initial Momentum = 340 kg.m/s

m₁ = mass of bike

v₁ = final speed of bike = 0 m/s

m₂ = mass of Sheila = 60 kg

v₂ = final speed of Sheila = ?

Therefore,

340\ kg.m/s = m_{1}(0\ m/s) + (60\ kg)v_{2}\\v_{2} = \frac{340\ kg.m/s}{60\ kg}\\\\

<u>v₂ = 5.7 m/s </u>

A spring with a spring constant of 120 J/m2 is fixed to a wall, free to oscillate. On the other end, a ball with a mass of 1500
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A. 4.47 m/s

Explanation:

As the ball oscillates, it mechanical energy, aka the total kinetic and elastics energy stays the same. For the ball to be at maximum speed, its elastic energy i 0 and vice versa. When the ball is at rest, its kinetic energy is 0 and its elastic energy is at maximum at 50 cm, or 0.5 m

1500 g = 1.5 kg

E_e = E_k

kx^2/2 = mv^2/2

120*0.5^2/2 = 1.5*v^2/2

15 = 0.75v^2

v^2 = 15 / 0.75 = 20

v = \sqrt{20} = 4.47 m/s
