As an analogy to wave packets, consider an "automobile packet" that occurs near the scene of an accident on a freeway. The phase

speed is analogous to the speed of individual automobiles as they move through the backup caused by the accident. The group speed can be identified as the speed of the leading edge of the packet of cars. For the automobile packet, which of the following is true? a. The group speed is greater than the phase speed. b. The group speed is the same as the phase speed c. The group speed is less than the phase speed

Answer:

c. The group speed is less than the phase speed.

Explanation:

For an individual the speed is given by v phase = w/k

w is angular frequency and k is wave number.

This is called phase speed. Group speed is the speed of wave packet.The rate of advance of a crest on a single wave point which is fixed phase.

you throw an object straight up at 15m/s. how fast is it going when it gets back to the height from which you threw it?
laiz [17]
At the same speed because it will slow down as it approaches the peak then speed up as it goes down again


it will be going 15m/s when it gets to the same height if we neglect air resistance and the object doesn't hit something

Forces that act on an object but are not equal in size
mezya [45]
Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction and do not cause a change in an object's movement are called balanced forces.

forces that aren't equal in size and do cause a change in movement (what it seems like you're asking for) are called UNBALANCED FORCES

so answer (in case that wasn't clear, as I'm tired) : unbalanced forces
