Answer:

<em>a. 24 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Destructive interference occurs when two waves arrive at a point, out of phase. In a completely destructive interference, the two waves cancel out, but in a partially destructive interference, they produce a wave with a time varying amplitude, but maintain a wavelength the wavelength of one of the original waves. Since the two waves does not undergo complete destructive interference, then the possible value of the new wave formed can only be 24 m, from the options given.

Atmospheric pressure changes ____.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

b. more rapidly in the vertical direction

Explanation:

Atmospheric Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation.

Pressure decreases with increasing altitude because at higher altitudes both the height of overlying air column and its density decreases. Hence the answer.

A bullet with mass 4.00 g and speed 650.0 m/s is fired at a block of wood with mass 0.0950 kg. The block rests on a "frictionles
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

26.4 m/s

Explanation:

4 g = 0.004 kg

By the law of momentum conservation, the momentum before and after the impact must be the same

P_{before} = P_{after}

0.004*650 = 0.004*23 + 0.095*v_b

v_b = \frac{2.508}{0.095} = 26.4 m/s

So the speed of the block after the impact is 26.4 m/s

Water is boiled at 300 kPa pressure in a pressure cooker. The cooker initially contains 3 kg of water. Once boiling started, it
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The average rate of energy transfer to the cooker is 1.80 kW.

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure of boiled water = 300 kPa

Mass of water = 3 kg

Time = 30 min

Dryness friction of water = 0.5

Suppose, what is the average rate of energy transfer to the cooker?

We know that,

The specific enthalpy of evaporate at 300 kPa pressure

h_{f}=561.47\ kJ/kg

h_{fg}=2163.8\ kJ/kg

We need to calculate the enthalpy of water at initial state

h_{1}=h_{f}

h_{1}=561.47\ kJ/kg

We need to calculate the enthalpy of water at final state

Using formula of enthalpy

h_{2}=h_{f}+xh_{fg}

Put the value into the formula

h_{2}=561.47+0.5\times2163.8

h_{2}=1643.37\ kJ/kg

We need to calculate the rate of energy transfer to the cooker

Using formula of rate of energy

Q=\dfrac{m(h_{2}-h_{1})}{t}

Put the value into the formula

Q=\dfrac{3\times(1643.37-561.47)}{30\times60}

Q=1.80\ kW

Hence, The average rate of energy transfer to the cooker is 1.80 kW.

Suppose you have a total charge qtot that you can split in any manner. Once split, the separation distance is fixed. How do you
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

We know from the Coulomb's Law that, Coulomb's force is directly proportional to the product of two charges q1 and q2 and inversely proportional to the square of the radius between them.

So,

F = \frac{Kq1q2}{r^{2} }

Now, we are asked to get the greatest force. So, in order to do that, product of the charges must be greatest because the force and product of charges are directly proportional.

Let's suppose, q1 = q

So,

if q1 = q

then

q2 = Q-q

Product of Charges = q1 x q2

Now, it is:

Product of Charges = q x (Q-q)

So,

Product of Charges = qQ - q^{2}

And the expression qQ - q^{2} is clearly a quadratic expression. And clearly its roots are 0 and Q.

So, the highest value of the quadratic equation will be surely at mid-point between the two roots 0 and Q.

So, the midpoint is:

q = \frac{Q + 0}{2}

q = Q/2 and it is the highest value of each charge in order to get the greatest force.
