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.

A soccer ball is kicked with a speed of 22m/s at an angle of 35.0º above the horizontal. If the ball lands at the same level fro
Lisa [10]

Answer:

2.57 seconds

Explanation:

The motion of the ball on the two axis is;

x(t) = Vo Cos θt

y(t) = h + Vo sin θt - 1/2gt²

Where; h is the initial height from which the ball was thrown.

Vo is the initial speed of the ball, 22 m/s , θ is the angle, 35° and g is the gravitational acceleration, 9.81 m/s²

We want to find the time t at which y(t) = h

Therefore;

y(t) = h + Vo sin θt - 1/2gt²

Whose solutions are, t = 0, at the beginning of the motion, and

t = 2 Vo sinθ/g

  = (2 × 22 × sin 35°)/9.81

  = 2.57 seconds

A particle of charge +2q is placed at the origin and particle of charge -q is placed on the x-axis at x = 2a. Where on the x-axi
zzz [600]

Answer:

r_{31}=\frac{2a\sqrt{2}}{1+\sqrt{2}}  

Explanation:

We know that the electric force equation is:

F=k\frac{q_{1}*q_{2}}{r^{2}}

  • k is the electric constant 9*10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}
  • r is the distance between the particles
  • q1 and q2 are the particle

Now, we have three particles, the first one at x=0, the second one at x=2a and the third in some place between these two particle.

1. Let's find the electric force between the first particle and the third particle.

F_{31}=k\frac{q_{3}*q_{1}}{r_{31}^{2}}

F_{31}=k\frac{q*2q}{r_{31}^{2}}

F_{31}=k\frac{2q^{2}}{r_{31}^{2}}

r(31) is the distance between 3 and 1

2. Now,  let's find the electric force between the third particle and the second particle.

F_{32}=k\frac{q_{3}*q_{2}}{x_{32}^{2}}

F_{32}=k\frac{q*(-q)}{r_{32}^{2}}

F_{32}=-k\frac{q^{2}}{r_{32}^{2}}

r(32) is the distance between 3 and 2.

Now, r_{31}+r_{32}=2a or r_{32}=2a-r_{31}

The net force must be zero so:

F_{31}+F_{32}=0[\tex][tex]k\frac{2q^{2}}{r_{31}^{2}}-k\frac{q^{2}}{r_{32}^{2}}=0[\tex]   [tex]kq^{2}(\frac{2}{r_{31}^{2}}-\frac{1}{r_{32}^{2}})=0[\tex] [tex]kq^{2}(\frac{2}{r_{31}^{2}}-\frac{1}{(2a-r_{31})^{2}})=0[\tex] It means that:[tex]\frac{2}{r_{31}^{2}}-\frac{1}{(2a-r_{31})^{2}}

We just need to solve it for r(31)

r_{31}^{2}=2(2a-r_{31})^{2}

r_{31}^{2}=2(2a-r_{31})^{2}

r_{31}=\frac{2a\sqrt{2}}{1+\sqrt{2}}  

Therefore the distance from the origin will be:

r_{31}=\frac{2a\sqrt{2}}{1+\sqrt{2}}  

I hope it helps you!

A 1000 kg boat starts at rest and accelerates to 10 m/s in 2 seconds. How fast does the boat accelerate?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

5 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

For the boat in the problem,

v = 10 m/s

u = 0

t = 2 s

Substituting, we find the acceleration

a=\frac{10-0}{2}=5 m/s^2
