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.
Answer:
Yes, the velocity of the object can reverse direction when its acceleration is constant. For example consider that the velocity of any object at any time t is given as: ... At At t = 0 sec, the magnitude of velocity is 2m/s and is moving in the forward direction i.e.v (t) = -2.
Answer:
31677.2 lb
Explanation:
mass of hammer (m) = 3.7 lb
initial velocity (u) = 5.8 ft/s
final velocity (v) = 0
time (t) = 0.00068 s
acceleration due to gravity (g) 32 ft/s^{2}
force = m x ( a + g )
where
- m is the mass = 3.7 lb
- g is the acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s^{2}
- a is the acceleration of the hammer
from v = u + at
a = (v-u)/ t
a = (0-5.8)/0.00068 = -8529.4 ( the negative sign showa the its decelerating)
we can substitute all required values into force= m x (a+g)
force = 3.7 x (8529.4 + 32) = 31677.2 lb
Explanation:
Equation for Impact
FΔt = ΔP,
F = force
Δt = Impact of time
ΔP = Change in momentum
Car steering is engineered to fail in order to maximize the time of contact and hence reduce the initial impact and mitigate the damage incurred.
Road guard railing crumple on contact to maximize impact time and hence reduce impact intensity and mitigate damage.
Road safety containers are loaded with liquid or sand as they improve the period of impact.
