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.

In deep space, there is very little friction. Once they launch a probe into deep space, where there are no external forces actin
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

move at constant velocity.

Explanation:

Newton's first law (also known as law of inertia) states that:

"when the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will keep its state of rest or if it is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity".

In the case of the probe, friction in deep space is negligible, therefore when the engine is shut down, there are no more forces acting on the probe: the net force therefore will be zero, so the probe will move at constant velocity.

A 3.50 cm tall object is held 24.8 cm from a lens of focal length 16.0 cm. What is the image height?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

<h2>6.36 cm</h2>

Explanation:

Using the formula to first get the image distance

1/f = 1/u+1/v

f = focal length of the lens

u = object distance

v = image distance

Given f = 16.0 cm, u = 24.8 cm

1/v = 1/16 - 1/24.8

1/v = 0.0625-0.04032

1/v = 0.02218

v = 1/0.02218

v = 45.09 cm

To get the image height, we will us the magnification formula.

Mag = v/u = Hi/H

Hi = image height = ?

H = object height = 3.50 cm

45.09/24.8 = Hi/3.50

Hi = (45.09*3.50)/24.8

Hi = 6.36 cm

The image height is 6.36 cm

The energy transfer diagram represents the energy of a person diving into a pool.
GREYUIT [131]
The answer is A) 1000 J
According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy before an action is always equal to the total energy after the action.
So that is, the total energy is 8000J found as potential energy, 7000J has transformed into kinetic energy, then the thermal energy should be the remaining 1000J.

Hope this helps.
