two pulse waves a and b arrive at a point in a medium simustaneously. if the amplitude of wave a is 35 units the amplitude of wa

It depends on the type of interference.
For constructive interference, add the amplitudes to get |35 + 41| = 76 units.
For destructive, subtract them |35 - 41| = 6 units

If the speed of an object is doubled, what happens to its kinetic energy?

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Doubling the speed will quadruple the kinetic energy. The relationship between speed and kinetic energy is: This means that the factor by which kinetic energy increases is the square of the factor by which speed or velocity increases for a given object.

2. If a rock fell down a cliff and hit the bottom of the ravine at 4 seconds, how fast was the rock

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: -39.2 m/s or 39.2 m/s directed downwards

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of Free Fall, where the main condition is that the initial velocity must be zero $V_{o}=0$ , and the acceleration is constant (acceleration due gravity).

So, in order to calculate the final velocity $V$ of the rock just at the moment it hitsthe bottom of the cliff, we will use the following equation:

$V={V_{o}}^{2}+gt$

Where:

$g=-9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity (directed downwards)

$t=4 s$ is the time it takes to the rock to fall down the cliff

$V=(-9.8 m/s^{2})(4 s)$

$V=-39.2 m/s$ This is the rock's final velocity and its negative sign indicates it is directed downwards

Given vectors D (3.00 m, 315 degrees wrt x-axis) and E (4.50 m, 53.0 degrees wrt x-axis), find the resultant R= D + E. (a) Write

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

R = ( 4.831 m , 1.469 m )

Magnitude of R = 5.049 m

Direction of R relative to the x axis= 16°54'33'

Explanation:

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find the Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

$\vec{A}= | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )$

where $| \vec{A} |$ its the magnitude and θ.

So, for our vectors, we will have:

$\vec{D}= 3.00 m \ ( \ cos(315) \ , \ sin (315) \ )$

$\vec{D}= ( 2.121 m , -2.121 m )$

and

$\vec{E}= 4.50 m \ ( \ cos(53.0) \ , \ sin (53.0) \ )$

$\vec{E}= ( 2.71 m , 3.59 m )$

Now, we can take the sum of the vectors

$\vec{R} = \vec{D} + \vec{E}$

$\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m , -2.121 \ m ) + ( 2.71 \ m , 3.59 \ m )$

$\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m + 2.71 \ m , -2.121 \ m + 3.59 \ m )$

$\vec{R} = ( 4.831 \ m , 1.469 \ m )$

This is R in Cartesian representation, now, to find the magnitude we can use the Pythagorean theorem

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{(4.831 m)^2 + (1.469 m)^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{23.338 m^2 + 2.158 m^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{25.496 m^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = 5.049 m$

To find the direction, we can use

$\theta = arctan(\frac{R_y}{R_x})$

$\theta = arctan(\frac{1.469 \ m}{4.831 \ m})$

$\theta = arctan(0.304)$

$\theta = 16\°54'33''$

As we are in the first quadrant, this is relative to the x axis.

Refraction is caused by any wave crossing the boundary out of one substance and into another one. The two different substances may be no more than two parcels of air at different temperatures.
