The positive and negative signs of amplitude implies that the particle displaces in +y direction and -y direction respectively.
Therefore the amplitude of the resultant wave = 2-1 = 1 cm.

There's no such thing as a wave with negative amplitude.

If these two waves have the same frequency and meet in phase,
then the amplitude of the superposition is  3 cm.

If they have the same frequency and meet out of phase,
then the amplitude of the superposition is  1 cm.

If they have the same frequency and meet at some intermediate phase, then
the amplitude of the superposition is something between 1 cm and 3 cm.

If the two waves do not have the same frequency, then their superposition
is a complicated combination of both frequencies and both amplitudes.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}

Explanation:

The electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron is given by:

F=k\frac{(e)(Ze)}{r^2}=k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2} (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Ze is the charge of the nucleus

e is the charge of the electron

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

This electrostatic attraction provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular motion, which is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r} (2)

where

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

Combining the two equations (1) and (2), we find

k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

And solving for v, we find an expression for the speed of the electron:

v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}

A 163 ‑turn circular coil of radius 2.65 cm and negligible resistance is immersed in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicu
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Explanation:

change in flux = no of turns x area of coil x change in magnetic field

= 163 x π 2.65² x 10⁻⁴ x ( .481 - 0 )

= 1728.84 x10⁻⁴  weber

rate of change of flux = change in flux / time

= 1728.84 x10⁻⁴ / .149

= 11603 x10⁻⁴ V .

volt induced = 1.16 V

current in the circuit

= volt induced / resistance

1.16 / 10.7 = .1084 A

energy dissipated = i²Rt where i is current , R is resistance and t is time.

= .1084² x 10.7 x .149

= .018734 J

= 18.73 mJ .

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The potential difference between one side of the wire causes the electric field inside the wire (causes the electrons to flow). However, inside the wire, it is still neutral. The electrons are just moving, the wire is not gaining or losing electrons.
