Physics
1 answer:
skelet666 [1.2K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

THE LAW OR PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION; States that when two identical waves are brought, the resultant disturbance is the algebraic sum of the individual disturbances of the two waves.

Explanation:

Most stationary waves are obtained as a result of the combination or superposition of an incident wave and it's reflected wave. Like in music, they result from the stationary waves of plucked strings leading to the Superposition law.

Adjacent antinodes of a standing wave on a string are 15.0 cm apart. A particle at an antinode oscillates in simple harmonic mot
timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) Distance between two adjacent  anti-node will be equal to distance between two adjacent  nodes . So the required distance is 15 cm .

B )  wave-length, amplitude, and speed of the two traveling waves that form this pattern are as follows

wave length = same as wave length of wave pattern formed. so it is 30 cm

amplitude = 1/2 the amplitude of wave pattern formed so it is .850 / 2 = .425 cm

Speed =   frequency x wavelength ( frequency = 1 / time period )

= 1 / .075) x 30 cm

400 cm / m

C ) maximum speed

= ω A

= (2π / T) x A

= 2 X 3.14 x .85 / .075 cm / s

= 71.17 cm / s

minimum speed is zero.

D ) The shortest distance along the string between a node and an antinode

= Wavelength / 4

= 30 / 4

= 7.5 cm

A 0.0600-kilogram ball traveling at 60.0 meters per second hits a concrete wall. What speed must a 0.0100-kilogram bullet have i
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

the speed that have 0.0100 kilogram bullet with the similar momentum magnitude is 360 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the speed that have 0.0100 kilogram bullet with the similar momentum magnitude is as follows:

The ball momentum is

\Delta Q = mv\\\\\Delta Q = 6 \times 1^-2 \times 60\\\\\Delta Q = 3.6 kg \times m/s

As there is a similar momentum

So,

\Delta Q = MV\\\\3.6 = 10^-2V\\\\V = 360 m/s

Hence, the speed that have 0.0100 kilogram bullet with the similar momentum magnitude is 360 m/s

A disk rotates freely on a vertical axis with an angular velocity of 50 rpm . An identical disk rotates above it in the same dir
True [87]

Answer:

Final angular velocity is 35rpm

Explanation:

Angular velocity is given by the equation:

I1w1i + I2w2i = I1w1f -I2w2f

But the two disks are identical, so Ii =I2

wf can be calculated using

wf = w1i - w2i/2

Given: w1i =50rpm w2i= 30rpm

wf= (50 + 20) / 2

wf= 70/2 = 35rpm

Crazy boy [7]
<span>Time needed for drive a distance 100 km at 100 km/h: t1 =100/100 = 1 h Time needed for drive a distance 40 km at 45 km/h: t2 =40/45 =0.8 h t3 =3h 15m - 1 h- 0.8 h =1.45 h Distance to town equals: s3 =270-100-40 =130 km Least speed needed to arrive in time for the interview: v3 =130 km/1.45 h =89.65 km/h The answer is 89.65 km/h</span>
