Answer:
Destructive interference

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

harkovskaia [24]

So we want to know what is the magnitude of the horizontal component of acceleration ah if we know that the overall acceleration a=12 m/s^2 and the angle of overall acceleration and the horizontal acceleration is α=50°. We know that ah=a*cosα. So now it isn't hard to get the horizontal component: ah=12*cos50=12*0.64=7.71 m/s^2. So the correct answer is ah=7.71 m/s^2.

Explanation:

The straight line distance between (0, 0) and the antelope's position (x, y) at time t can be found using distance formula:

d² = x² + y²

d² = (-39 + 40t)² + (228 + 30t)²

d² = 1521 - 3120t + 1600t² + 51984 + 13680t + 900t²

d² = 53505 + 10560t + 2500t²
