<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.

We measure the loudness of sound in decibels.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Tatiana [17]

Answer: The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Loudness of sound is referred to how soft or loud a sound is for the listener.

This term is measured in a unit known as decibels referred to as dB.

This unit is used to measure the relative intensity of sounds on a scale from zero to 100 dB.

More the value of decibels, it will be uncomfortable for a person to hear that sound.

So Yes, the loudness of sound is measured in decibels.

How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The Gravitational Force is reduced 4 times

Explanation:

The equation of Gravitational force follows:

F = (G*m1*m2)/r^2

Assume that G*m1*m2 = 1 and r = 1:

F = 1/1^2 = 1 N

Multiply the radius by 2

F = 1/2^2 = 1/4 N

So doubling the distance reduces the force 4 times.

Show how the alternative definition of power, found in your book, can be derived by substituting the definitions of work and spe
Harman [31]

Let us consider body moves a distance S due to the force F.

Hence the work by the body W = FS

If the force is not along the direction of displacement,then the work by a body for travelling a distance S will be -

                                       W=[ Fcos\theta]*S  where    Fcos\theta is the component of the force along the direction of displacement.

                                  Hence\ W= FScos\theta

                                                        = F.S

As per the question the power P is given as -

                                                  P=\frac{W}{\delta t}

                                                         =\frac{F.S}{\delta t}

                                                         = F.\frac{S}{\delta t}

                                                         = \ F.V

Hence alternative definition of power P = F.V
