Two waves meet and interfere

Physics
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago
6 0

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.

A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes by, five more crests pass in a time of 50.2 s.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation:

(a) The period of a wave is the time required for one complete cycle. In this case, we have the time of five cycles. So:

T=\frac{t}{n}\\\\T=\frac{50.2s}{5}\\T=10.04s

(b) The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its period:

f=\frac{1}{T}\\f=\frac{1}{10.04s}\\f=0.01Hz

(c) The wavelength is the distance between two successive crests, so:

\lambda=30.2m

(d) The speed of a wave is defined as:

v=f\lambda\\v=(0.1Hz)(30.2m)\\v=3.02\frac{m}{s}

A child walks 5m east, then 3m north, then 1m east. What is the magnitude of the child's displacement? What is the direction of
kykrilka [37]
You should first break up all the distances and directions into vectors and then add all horizontal vectors and verticle vectors. 
He goes, 5 + 1 m east = 6m East
3 m north
displacement = root(6^2 + 3^2) = 6.708m
direction = arcTan(verticle/horizontal) = arcTan(3/6) = 26.565 degrees

Some of the largest volcanoes in the solar system are on mars. The most likely explanation is that mars
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: Mars has lower gravity and lower magma buoyancy

Explanation: The gravity in mars is low. Low gravity affect the occurrence of volcanic eruptions. The buoyancy of the magma in Mars is lower and the depth of the magma chamber deeper (Buoyancy is the difference in density between the surrounding crust and the magma ascending for eruption). Olympus Mons which is larger and wider than mount Everest was formed as a result of overcoming of the low gravity and buoyancy by the magma to release enormous volume of magma to the surface.

Another reason why the volcanoes on Mars are so large is because the crust on Mars is static unlike Earth.

100 POINTS!!! :D
charle [14.2K]

Explanation:

... in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the force on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.
