<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.

Find the first three harmonics of a string of linear mass density 2. 00 g/m and length 0. 600 m when the tension in it is 50. 0
gavmur [86]

The first three harmonics of the string are 131.8 Hz, 263.6 Hz and 395.4 Hz.

<h3>Velocity of the wave</h3>

The velocity of the wave is calculated as follows;

v = √T/μ

where;

  • T is tension
  • μ is mass per unit length = 2 g/m = 0.002 kg/m

v = √(50/0.002)

v = 158.1 m/s

<h3>First harmonic or fundamental frequency of the wave</h3>

f₀ = v/λ

where;

  • λ is the wavelength = 2L

f₀ = v/2L

f₀ = 158.1/(2 x 0.6)

f₀ = 131.8 Hz

<h3>Second harmonic of the wave</h3>

f₁ = 2f₀

f₁ = 2(131.8 Hz)

f₁ = 263.6 Hz

<h3>Third harmonic of the wave</h3>

f₂ = 3f₀

f₂ = 3(131.8 Hz)

f₂ = 395.4 Hz

Thus, the first three harmonics of the string are 131.8 Hz, 263.6 Hz and 395.4 Hz.

What object best represents a true scale model of the shape of earth?
BabaBlast [244]
Any object that is spherical in shape would best represent a true scale model of the shape of the Earth. Examples are ping pong balls, billiard balls, marble and other smooth spherical objects. The shape of the Earth is called the oblate spheroid. The "oblate" would refer to an oblong shape and "spheroid" would refer to an almost spherical shape. The earth has on almost spherical shape and has a slightly oblong appearance. The diameter from the South pole to the north pole was measured to have a value of 12714 km while the diameter of the equator is approximately 12756 km. As you can see, the values are not equal. This makes the earth not a perfect sphere.

A 2290 kg car traveling at 10.5 m/s collides with a 2780 kg car that is initially at rest at the stoplight. The cars stick toget
avanturin [10]

Answer:

0.41

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car, m = 2290 Kg

initial speed = 10.5 m/s

mass of another car, M = 2780 Kg

distance moved = 2.80 m

coefficient of friction = ?

conservation of energy

m u = (M + m) V

2290 x 10.5 = (2290 + 2780) V

V = 4.74 m/s

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

4.74² = 2 x a x 2.8

a = 4.02 m/s²

now using equation

a = μ g

4.02 = μ x 9.8

μ = 0.41
