When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.

When a solid is placed in a container and heat is applied, a phase change occurs. Watch the video and identify which of the foll

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

a) false b) true c) true d) false and e) true

Explanation:

a) false. All the energy applied is used for the phase change, so the temperature remains constant.

b) true. The kinetic energy is associated with the speed of the particles and they have more mobility in the liquid, therefore, more kinetic energy.

c) true. Since energy is used for state change

d) false. In general, mobility and temperature are proportional

e) true. Heat is the source of energy for the change of state

The luxury liner Queen Elizabeth 2 has a diesel-electric powerplant with a maximum power of 90 MW at a cruising speed of 31.5 kn

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

5558643.69 N

Explanation:

F = Force

v = Velocity = 31.5 knots

Converting to m/s

$1\ knot=0.514\ m/s$

$31.5\ knot=31.5\times 0.514\ m/s=16.191\ m/s$

Power is given by

$P=Fv\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{P}{v}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{90\times 10^6}{16.191}\\\Rightarrow F=5558643.69\ N$

The forward force is exerted on the ship at this highest attainable speed is 5558643.69 N

How are compounds and mixture alike ?

natita [175]

Compounds are atoms or molecules that are chemically bonded together to form a different molecule or compound. The process could be written as a chemical reaction. A mixture is when two elements or compounds are mixed together but do not react, ie no chemical reaction between the two occurs.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. ... increases, the force of gravity decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.
