Answer:

b. amplitude

Explanation:

There are two types of intereference:

- Constructive interference: it occurs when two waves of same frequency meet at a point in phase - this means , the crest of one wave meets with the crest of the other wave. When this occurs, the resultant wave has an amplitude which is equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the two waves.

- Destructive interference: it occurs when two waves of same frequency meet at a point in opposite phase - this means , the crest of one wave meets with the trough of the other wave. When this occurs, the resultant wave has an amplitude which is equal to the difference between the amplitudes of the two waves.

When interference occurs, the other factors of the waves (period, frequency and wavelength) do not change.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]

V125BC [204]

The final velocity of the bullet+block is 0.799 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, the total momentum of the bullet-block system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Mathematically, we can write:

$mu+MU=(m+M)v$
