<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Destructive interference

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>Interference</u> is a term used to refer to the combination of two waves or their overlap
<u>There are two types of interference:</u>
<u>1- Constructive interference:</u> This happens when the waves overlap/combine to produce a resultant wave with a larger displacement
<u>2- Destructive interference:</u> This happens when the waves overlap/combine to produce a resultant wave with a smaller displacement

Hope this helps :)

Two or more waves combining to produce a wave with a smaller displacement is called Destructive interference.


Explanation:

The interference of 2 waves of equal frequency and opposite section, leading to their cancellation wherever the negative displacement of 1 perpetually coincides with the positive displacement of the opposite.

In harmful interference, the crest of 1 wave meets the trough of another, and therefore the result's a lower total amplitude.

mixas84 [53]
I would tell him, in the kindest, most gentle way I could manage,
to fahgeddaboudit. 

The total amount of energy doesn't change.  Energy is never created,
and it never disappears.  If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere. 

You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
 and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.

Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show.  They are all
fakes.  They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.

Your bedroom gets direct sunlight through a window during the hottest part of the day. You ask your mom to turn down the thermom
ycow [4]
I want to say its cooled by reflection because of the foil, sun reflects off of the foil back into the atmosphere. I don't think it's conduction because I have the foil on my windows and it's never warm to the touch. it's not a liquid so I don't believe it's convection. The foil reflects the radiation so I don't think it's b, c or d. so I wanna say A but I'm not 100% sure

A car traveling at 14 m/s accelerates at 3.5 m/s² for 5 seconds. How much distance does it travel during that time?​
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 113.75

Explanation:

You know

acceleration = a = 3.5 m/s²

time = t = 5 seconds

initial velocity = u = 14 m/s

Unknown is distance = s = ?

Use equation: s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²

Substitute all the known values inside the equation:

s = (14*5) + 0.5 * 3.5 * 5²

s = 70 + 43.75 = 113.75 m

The car travels 113.75 metres.

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 130.8 g. A graduated cylinder initially contains 47.7 mL water. When the jewelry is subme
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: The density of this piece of jewelry is 8.90g/cm^3

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Mass of piece of jewellery = 130.8 g

Density of piece of jewellery = ?

Volume of piece of jewellery =( 62.4-47.7 ) ml = 14.7 ml = 14.7cm^3   1cm^3=1ml

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Density of piece of jewellery}=\frac{130.8g}{14.7cm^3}=8.90g/cm^3

Thus density of this piece of jewelry is 8.90g/cm^3
