Answer:

he correct answers are a, b

Explanation:

In the two-slit interference phenomenon, the expression for interference is

d sin θ= m λ constructive interference

d sin θ = (m + ½) λ destructive interference

in general this phenomenon occurs for small angles, for which we can write

tanθ = y / L

tan te = sin tea / cos tea = sin tea

sin θ = y / La

un

derestimate the first two equations.

Let's do the calculation for constructive interference

d y / L = m λ

the distance between maximum clos is and

y = (me / d) λ

this is the position of each maximum, the distance between two consecutive maximums

y₂-y₁ = (L 2/d) λ - (L 1 / d) λ₁ y₂ -y₁ = L / d λ

examining this equation if the wavelength decreases the value of y also decreases

the same calculation for destructive interference

d y / L = (m + ½) κ

y = [(m + ½) L / d] λ

again when it decreases the decrease the distance

the correct answers are a, b

Five locations are marked on the world map. which location is most prone to hurricanes? five locations are marked on the world m

Five locations are marked on the world map. The spot that is prone to hurricane mostly A.

<h3>What is hurricane?</h3>

A hurricane is a cyclone with winds of 74 miles (119 kilometers) each hour or more prominent that is typically joined by downpour, thunder, and lightning, and that occasionally moves into calm scopes.

The locations on the world map spot A, B, C, D, E are regions with country prone to hurricane.

The SPOT A, is GULF of Mexico, a sea bowl nearer to the Atlantic sea, encompassed with the North American landmass, the Hawaiian island is likewise inside that locale.

The SPOT B, is the southern Pacific sea with nations like BRAZIL, PERU, ECUADOR, CHILE, in that equivalent locale. This is likewise visited by the tropical storm.

The SPOT C, is inside the locales of AFRICA, nations at the edge are likewise impacted by typhoon.

The SPOT D, is Asian landmass with Russia at the edge. They are likewise inclined to typhoon.

The SPOT E, is the North Pacific sea locale situated at the upper left hand side of the world guide, with nations like Canada, Alaska and co. Near the artic circle.

Thus, location A is the most prone to hurricanes.

The displacement of a 500 g mass, undergoing simple harmonic motion, is defined by the function :

Delicious77 [7]

The maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side.

Simple Harmonic Motion

The given equation of the simple harmonic motion is

$x=3.5 sin (\frac{\pi }{2t} + \frac{5\pi }{4} )$

Data;

ω = π/2

k = 1.254N/m

Solving this

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -3.5 X \frac{\pi }{2} cos (\frac{x\pi t}{2}+\frac{5\pi }{4} )$

Let's calculate the maximum velocity.

$V_{m} =\frac{3.5\pi }{2}$

This is only possible when cos θ = -1

The maximum kinetic energy is

$K_m =\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} X \frac{500}{1000} X \frac{7^2\pi ^2}^{4} ^2$

$w^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\k = w^2m\\k = \frac{\pi ^2}{4} X \frac{500}{1000} \\k =1.254 N/m$

Using the value of spring constant, we can find the maximum potential energy.

$P.E =\frac{1}{2} k x^2\\P.E =\frac{1}{2} X 1.234 X 3.5^2 \\P.E = 7.56 J$

The maximum potential energy is 7.56J

The maximum mechanical energy is equal to the sum of maximum potential energy and the maximum kinetic energy.

ME = K.E + P.E

ME = 7.56J

From the calculations above, the maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.
