Explain what may happen went to light waves traveling from opposite directions meet?

Physics

kondaur [170]3 years ago

The interaction of waves with other waves is called wave interference. Wave interference may occur when two waves that are traveling in opposite directions meet. The two waves pass through each other, and this affects their amplitude.

A vertical spring has a mass hanging from it, which is displaced from the equilibrium position and begins to oscillate. At what
Orlov [11]

Answer:

the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

Explanation:

If a block is connected with a spring and there is no resistive force on the system

In this case the total energy of the system is always conserved and it will change from one form to another form

So here we will say that

Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Total Mechanical energy

As we can say that total energy is conserved so here we have least potential energy when the system has maximum kinetic energy

So here we also know that at mean position of the SHM the system has maximum speed and hence maximum kinetic energy.

So the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

A student wearing a frictionless roller skates on a horizontal is pushed by a friend with a constant force of 55N. How far must
umka21 [38]

Answer:

6.58m

Explanation:

The kinetic energy = Workdone on the roller

Workdone = Force * distance

Given

KE = Workdone = 362J

Force = 55N

Required

Distance

Substitute into the formula;

Workdone = Force * distance

362 = 55d

d = 362/55

d = 6.58m

Hence the student must push at a distance of 6.58m

Kinetic energy is the energy of
Alina [70]

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

The formula for kinetic energy is given as

KE = (0.5) m v²

where m = mass of object , v = speed of object.

an object having some speed and mass will have kinetic energy while an object at rest will not have any kinetic energy since the speed of object at rest is zero.

Since at rest speed is zero. an object has kinetic energy only when it is in motion.

What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the stratosphere? (2 points).
stealth61 [152]
As altitude increases, temperature increases. The stratosphere is the part of the atmosphere that starts in the tropopause and ends in the estratopause. In the troposphere, the air is close to the Earth surface. The air surface can absorb more sunlight energy than the air, so the Earth surface heats the air. As you go higher, the distance to the Earth surface is higher, so the temperature is lower. The troposphere ends in the tropopause, where this trend changes. In the estratopause, there is a lot of ozone, which absorbs the dangerous UV radiation and converts into heat. That heat warms the air. So the air which is close to the estratopause is warm because of the heat released by the ozone reactions. The tropopause is far from the Earth surface and far from the ozone layer, that’s why it is cold. So the tropopause is cold and the estratopause is warm, which means: the air becomes warmer <span>as you rise above the tropopause until you get to the estratopause.</span>

A 40-kg uniform semicircular sign 1.6 m in diameter is supported by two wires as shown. What
garri49 [273]

Answer:

T1 = 131.4 [N]

T2 = 261 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must make a sketch of how will be the semicircle, for this reason we conducted an internet search, to find the scheme of the problem. This scheme is attached in the first image.

Then we make a free body diagram, with this free body diagram, we raise the forces that act on the body. Since it is a problem involving static equilibrium, the sum of forces in any direction and moments must be equal to zero.

By performing a sum of forces on the Y axis equal to zero we can find an equation that relates the forces of tension T1 & T2.

The second equation can be determined by summing moments equal to zero, around the point of application of the T1 force. In this way we find the T2 force.

The value of T2, is replaced in the first equation and we can find the value for T1.

Therefore

T1 = 131.4 [N]

T2 = 261 [N]

The free body diagram and the developed equations can be seen in the second attached image.
