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 neutron consists of one "up" quark of charge +2e/3 and two "down" quarks each having charge -e/3. If we assume that the down q
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force is 120.85 N

Explanation:

We can use Coulomb's law to find the electrostatic force between the down quarks.

In scalar form, Coulomb's law states that for charges q_1 and q_2 separated by a distance d, the magnitude of the electrostatic force F between them is:

F = k \frac{|q_1q_2|}{d^2}

where k is Coulomb's constant.

Taking the values:

d = 4.6 \ 10^{-15} m

q_1 = q_2 = - \frac{e}{3} = - \frac{1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ C}{3}

and knowing the value of the Coulomb's constant:

k = 8.99 \ 10 ^{9} \frac{N m^2}{C^2}

Taking all this in consideration:

F = 8.99 \ 10 ^{9} \frac{N m^2}{C^2} \frac{ (- \frac{1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ C}{3} ) ^2}{(4.6 \ 10^{-15} m)^2}

F = 120.85  \ N

Astronaut mark uri is space-traveling from planet x to planet y at a speed of relative to the planets, which are at rest relativ
lyudmila [28]
<span>From the point of view of the astronaut, he travels between planets with a speed of 0.6c. His distance between the planets is less than the other bodies around him and so by applying Lorentz factor, we have 2*</span>√1-0.6² = 1.6 light hours. On the other hand, from the point of view of the other bodies, time for them is slower. For the bodies, they have to wait for about 1/0.6 = 1.67 light hours while for him it is 1/(0.8) = 1.25 light hours. The remaining distance for the astronaut would be 1.67 - 1.25 = 0.42 light hours. And then, light travels in all frames and so the astronaut will see that the flash from the second planet after 0.42 light hours and from the 1.25 light hours is, 1.25 - 0.42 = 0.83 light hours or 49.8 minutes.

Approximately how long are fossil fuels going to last (at the present level of consumption)?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Oil : about 50years

Gas: about 52years

Coal: about 114years

Explanation:

Oil

Globally, we currently consume the equivalent of over 11 billion tonnes of oil from fossil fuels every year. Crude oil reserves are vanishing at a rate of more than 4 billion tonnes a year, so if we carry on as we are, our known oil deposits could run out in just about 50 years.

Gas

If we increase gas production to fill the energy gap left by oil, our known gas reserves only give us just 52 years left.

Coal

Although it’s often claimed that we have enough coal to last hundreds of years, this doesn’t take into account the need for increased production if we run out of oil and gas.

If we step up production to make up for depleted oil and gas reserves, our known coal deposits could be gone in 114 years.

What is the density of lead (in g/cm3) if a rectangular bar measuring 0.50 cm in height, 1.55 cm in width, and 25.00 cm in lengt
Otrada [13]
If you look at the units of density, g/cm^3 you will see it's grams divided by volume (cm^3).

218.9 g / (0.5*1.55*25 cm^3) = 11.3 g/cm^3
