Consider two identical and symmetrical wave pulses on a string. Suppose the first pulse reaches the fixed end of the string and

is reflected back and then meets the second pulse. When the two pulses overlap exactly, the superposition principle predicts that the amplitude of the resultant pulses, at that moment, will be what factor times the amplitude of one of the original pulses?a. 0b. 1c. -2d. -1

Answer:

The amplitude of the resultant wave will be 0.

Explanation:

Suppose the first wave has an amplitude of A. Its angle is given as wt.

The second way will also have the same amplitude as that of first.

After the reflection, a phase shift of π is added So the wave is given as

W_1=W_2=Acos(\omega t)\\W_1^{'}=Acos(\omega t+ \pi)

Adding the two waves give

                               W_1'+W_2=Acos(\omega t+ \pi)+Acos(\omega t)\\W_1'+W_2=-Acos(\omega t)+Acos(\omega t)\\W_1'+W_2=0

So the amplitude of the resultant wave will be 0.

In a particular experiment to study the photoelectric effect, the frequency of the incident light and the temperature of the met
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases.

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect can be explained by thinking the incident light as made of many photons, each carrying an energy of

E=hf

where h is the Planck constant and f is the light frequency. A photoelectron is extracted from the metal if the energy of the incoming photon, which hits the electron and gives all its energy, is at least equal to the work function of the metal, \phi. Moreover, each photon of the incident light hits only one electron in the metal.

Given these premises, we can analyze each statement:

The work function of the metal decreases.   --> FALSE. The work function is just the energy needed to extract photoelectrons from the metal: so, it depends only on the properties of the metal, and not on the intensity of the incident light.

The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases.   --> TRUE. The intensity of the incident light is proportional to the number of photons contained in the light: so, the higher the intensity, the larger the number of photons that hit the electrons in the metal, the larger the number of electrons emitted.

The maximum speed of the emitted electrons increases.   --> FALSE. The energy of the electrons emitted depends ONLY on the energy of the incoming photon, so it depends only on the frequency of the photon, not on the number of photon (intensity). In fact, only 1 photon at time hits 1 electron, so the intensity of the light does not affect the energy of the electrons (and so, it does not affect their speed)

The stopping potential increases. --> FALSE. The stopping potential is the potential needed to stop the electrons in the metal preventing them to escape the metal: this depends only on the energy of the electron, which does not depend on the intensity of the light, but only on its frequency.

What three factors affect the acceleration of an object?
nignag [31]

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased

A sanding disk with rotational inertia 3.8 x 10-3 kg·m2 is attached to an electric drill whose motor delivers a torque of magnit
Elis [28]

Answer:

(a) Angular momentum of disk is 1.343\, \frac{kg.m^{2}}{s}

(b) Angular velocity of the disk is 353\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

Given

Rotational inertia of the disk , I=3.8\times 10^{-3}kg.m^{2}

Torque delivered by the motor , \tau =17N.m

Torque is applied for duration , \Delta t=79ms=0.079s

(a)

Magnitude of angular momentum of the disk = Angular impulse produced by the torque

\therefore L=\tau \Delta t=17\times 0.079\frac{kg.m^{2}}{s}

=>L=1.343\, \frac{kg.m^{2}}{s}

Thus angular momentum of disk is 1.343\, \frac{kg.m^{2}}{s}

(b)

Since Angular momentum , L=I\omega

where \omega= Angular velocity of the disk

=>\omega =\frac{L}{I}=\frac{1.343}{3.8\times 10^{-3}}\frac{rad}{s}

\therefore \omega =353\frac{rad}{s}

Thus angular velocity of the disk is 353\frac{rad}{s}
