<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.

Placing the north pole of a magnet near the south pole of another magnet results in:
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

An attractive force between the magnets. A is the correct answer if it was the north pole facing another north pole magnet the answer would have been a repulsive force between the magnets because the north pole of a magnet does not attract instead it separates from each other which is a repulsive force the best answer is A.

Explanation:

the southern pole of a magnet is a positive force while the northern pole of a magnet is negative .

Note: Magnet can attract each other only when they are facing the opposite directions a north pole will attract a south pole; the magnets pull on each other. But the two north poles will push each other away.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

 validate                                            

Explanation:

<u>Law of Conservation of energy</u>

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy of a body or a system gets transferred to another system as different energy. We cannot create energy nor we can destroy energy. Energy is always transformed into other forms of energy.

In the context, Joe noticed that the aquarium's temperature dropped during the night and he concluded that according to the law of conservation of energy, the energy of the aquarium in terms of thermal energy is being transferred to the surrounding air.

This is because the aquarium is considered to be an open system where energy can come in and move out.

Hence Joe's statement is valid.

The atmosphere has many roles, including:
monitta
There are five layers of the atmosphere and these are; troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The first layer, troposphere, is where we are able to do most of our activities. This is where we can see the formation of clouds, the production of rain, hail, snow and other weather phenomenon. Also, this layer is where the greatest amount of air pressure because most of the molecules of air are in this area. Like us, air has also mass and the pressure is brought down by the earth’s gravity causing an increase in weight exerted on you as you descend lower into the atmosphere. So, as you enter into the other layers of atmosphere above the troposphere, the air pressure starts to decrease. <span>Below the atmosphere is the hydrosphere. This is where all liquid forms are located. And since the seawater has a greater mass than air, it has the greatest pressure. </span>

A bat hits a moving baseball. If the bat delivers a net eastward impulse of 0.80 N-s and the ball starts with an initial horizon
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

0.084 kg

Explanation:

I = 0.80 N-s (East wards) = 0.80 i N-s

u = 3.8 m/s = - 3.8 i m/s

v = 5.7 m/s = 5.7 i m/s

Let m be the mass of bat.

I = m (v - u)

0.8 i = m ( 5.7 i + 3.8 i)

0.8 i = m x 9.5 i

m = 0.084 kg
