Answer:

B. Constructive interference will occur, causing the new wave to have more energy than Wave A or Wave B.

Explanation:

Whenever waves meet in phase that is trough on trough or crest on crest a constructive interference occurs. A destructive interference only occurs when waves are out of phase.

A car whose total mass is 800kg travelling with a uniform velocity of 20m/s suddenly observes a stationary dog 50m ahead on its

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The driver hits the stationery dog because the applied force is less than required force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy will be given by

$KE=0.5mv^{2}$ where m is the mass of the vehicle and v is the speed/velocity of the vehicle.

Substituting 800 Kg for m and 20 m/s for v we obtain

$KE=0.5*800*(20 m/s)^{2}=160,000$

Frictional force by vehicle pads is given by

$Fr=\frac {KE}{d}$ where d is the distance moved

Substituting 160000 for KE and 50 m for d we obtain

$Fr=\frac {160000}{50}=3200 N$

Therefore, the vehicle hits the dog since the required force is 3200N but the driver applied only 2000 N

If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta necessarily equal? explain.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

No the given statement is not necessarily true.

Explanation:

We know that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' is given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

Similarly the momentum is given by $m\times v$

For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective kinetic energies is given by

$K.E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}$

$K.E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

Similarly For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective momenta are given by

$p_{1}=m_{1}\times v_{1}$

$p_{2}=m_{2}\times v_{2}$

Now since it is given that the two kinetic energies are equal thus we have

$\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}\\\\(m_{1}v_{1})\times v_{1}=(m_{2}v_{2})\times v_{2}\\\\p_{1}\times v_{1}=p_{2}\times v_{2}\\\\\therefore \frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}............(i)$

Thus we infer that the moumenta are not equal since the ratio on right of 'i' is not 1 , and can be 1 only if the velocities of the 2 particles are equal which becomes a special case and not a general case.

1. Which of the following states would likely get hit by both hurricanes and tornadoes? (Points : 1)

bogdanovich [222]

I would have to say Texas because, obviously, its on the coast, and because I know for a fact Oklahoma is VERY prone to Tornadoes and I also know Dallas (and surrounding areas) has a few tornadoes a year:)

I hope I helped:)

<span>A van is traveling on a road at a speed of 55 km/h relative to a
stationary observer on the side of the road. A girl sitting near the
driver of the van throws a paper airplane to a boy at the back of the
van with a speed of 2 km/h relative to the girl, the boy, and the van.

The speed of the paper airplane, relative to the same stationary observer
on the side of the road, is (55 - 2) = 53 km/h. No rounding is necessary.</span>
