Which part of the wave is changed when there is interference?
Rasek [7]
When 2 waves interefere (or collide with eachother), it usually affects the crest of the wave. If both waves collide with both crests, it will create an amplified crest, and the waves will pass through eachother afterwards. If a trough of a wave meets a crest, it will cause the crest to be lowered shortly before both continue on.

A speed boat moving at a velocity of 25 m/s runs out of gas and drifts to a stop 3 minutes later 100 meters away. What is its ra
mr_godi [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The rate of deceleration is -0.14m/s^{2}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Using one of the equations of motion;

v = u + at

where;

v = final velocity of the boat = 0m/s (since the boat decelerates to a stop)

u = initial velocity of the boat = 25m/s

a = acceleration of the boat

t = time taken for the boat to accelerate/decelerate from u to v =   3 minutes

<em>Convert the time t = 3 minutes to seconds;</em>

=> 3 minutes = 3 x 60 seconds = 180seconds.

<em>Substitute the values of v, u, t into the equation above. We have;</em>

v =  u + at

=> 0 = 25 + a(180)

=> 0 = 25 + 180a

<em>Make a the subject of the formula;</em>

=> 180a = 0 - 25

=> 180a = -25

=> a = -25/180

=> a = -0.14m/s^{2}

The negative value of a shows that the boat is decelerating.

Therefore, the rate of deceleration of the speed boat is 0.14m/s^{2}

The initial kinetic energy imparted to a 0.020 kg bullet is 1200 J. (a) Assuming it
Lilit [14]

Answer:

(a) Power= 207.97 kW

(b) Range= 5768.6 meter

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of bullet, m=0.02 kg

Kinetic energy imparted, K=1200 J

Length of rifle barrel, d=1 m

(a)

Let the speed of bullet when it leaves the barrel is v.

Kinetic energy, K=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m} }

=\sqrt{\frac{2\times1200}{0.02} }

=346.4m/s

Initial speed of bullet, u=0

The average speed in the barrel, v_a_v_g=\frac{u+v}{2}

=\frac{0+346.4}{2} \\=173.2 m/s

Time taken by bullet to cross the barrel, t=\frac{d}{v}

=\frac{1}{173.2}\\ =0.00577 second

Power, P_a_v_g=\frac{W}{t}

=\frac{1200}{0.00577} \\=207.97kW

(b)

In projectile motion,

Maximum height, H_m=\frac{v^2\sin^2\theta}{2g} \\

Range, R=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}

given that, H_m=R

then, \frac{v^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\\sin^2\theta=2\sin\theta\cos\theta\\\\\tan\theta=4\\\theta=\tan^-^14\\\theta=75.96^0\\R=\frac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\=\frac{346.4^2\times\sin(2\times75.96)}{9.8}\\5768.6 meter

How might a location's altitude influence it's climate?
UNO [17]

Answer:

You will discover that at high altitude, there is cold and the opposite is experienced when you go deep down the sea. However, the reason elevation affects climate and temperature gets colder is this. As you go higher up, the atmosphere experiences less pressure.

Two trains traveling towards one another on a straight track are 300m apart when the engineers on both trains become aware of th
sattari [20]

Answer:

48 m

Explanation:

Two trains traveling towards one another on a straight track are 300m apart when the engineers on both trains become aware of the impending Collision and hit their brakes. The eastbound train, initially moving at 97.0 km/h Slows down at 3.50ms^2. The westbound train, initially moving at 127 km/h slows down at 4.20 m/s^2.

The eastbound train

First convert km/h to m/s

(97 × 1000)/3600

97000/3600

26.944444 m/s

As the train is decelerating, final velocity V = 0 and acceleration a will be negative. Using third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2as

O = 26.944^2 - 2 × 3.5 S

726 = 7S

S = 726/7

S1 = 103.7 m

The westbound train

Convert km/h to m/s

(127×1000)/3600

127000/3600

35.2778 m/s

Using third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2as

0 = 35.2778^2 - 2 × 4.2 × S

1244.52 = 8.4S

S = 1244.52/8.4

S2 = 148.2 m

S1 + S2 = 103.7 + 148.2 = 251.86

The distance between them once they stop will be

300 - 251.86 = 48.14 m

Therefore, the distance between them once they stop is 48 metres approximately.
