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.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The two objects are traveling at the same speed.

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, an object that is thrown up from the top of a tall building has the same speed as the second object thrown down from the top of the same tall building since the initial speed is the same.

The object thrown up is not traveling faster neither is the object thrown down traveling faster.  

Therefore, the two objects will have the same speed when they hit the ground but their time of landing might be different.

The rotation of Earth is equivalent to one day which is comprised of 24 hours. To determine the number of miles in Earth's circumference, one simply have to multiply the given rate by the appropriate conversion factor and dimensional analysis. This is shown below.
 
                  C = (1038 mi/h)(24 h/1 day)
                   C = 24,912 miles

From the given choices, the nearest value would have to be 20,000 mile. The answer is the second choice.

You hear a sound with a frequency of 256 Hz. The amplitude of the sound increases and decreases periodically: it takes 2 seconds
german

To solve this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to frequency and period, and how they are related to each other.

The relationship that defines both agreements is given by the equation,

f_{beat}=\frac{1}{T}

Then the frequency for the previous period given (2sec) is

f_{beat}=\frac{1}{2}

f_{beat} = 0.5Hz

The beat frequency of two frequencies is equal to the difference between the two frequencies, then

f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|\\f_{beat} = |256Hz-2Hz|\\f_{beat} = 254Hz

<em>Hence option A is incorrect.</em>

We can do this process for 254Hz as f_1 and 258 Hz for f_2 , then

f_{beat} =|254Hz-258Hz|

f_{beat} = 4Hz

<em>Hence option B is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255Hz as  f_1 and 257 Hz for f_2 , then

f_{beat} =|255Hz-257Hz|

f_{beat} = 2Hz

<em>Hence option C is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255.5Hz as f_1 and 256.5 Hz for f_2, then

f_{beat} =|255.5Hz-256.5Hz|\\f_{beat} = 1Hz

<em>Hence option D is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255.75Hz as f_1 and 256.25 Hz for f_2, then

f_{beat} =|255.75Hz-256.25Hz|\\f_{beat} = 0.5Hz

<em>Hence option E is incorrect. </em>

Therefore the sum of the frequencies in the sound wave would be 256.25Hz and 255.75Hz

Which statement best describes the importance of joints in the roadways of Bridges ?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

c. Joints allow the roadway to expand and contract as cars put force on the bridge

Explanation:

The reasons why joints are allowed on roadway is to accommodate the contraction and expansion of the road as cars put force on them.

  • Most materials used in making roadways are susceptible to expansion and contraction.
  • When a measure of force is applied their length either increases or decreases depending on the type of force.
  • To accommodate these changes, joints are placed in roadways
