Answer:

The amplitude of the resultant wave is 12.93 cm.

Explanation:

The amplitude of resultant of two waves, y₁ and y₂, is given as;

Y = y₁ + y₂

Let y₁ = A sin(kx - ωt)

Since the wave is out phase by φ, y₂ is given as;

y₂ = A sin(kx - ωt + φ)

Y = y₁ + y₂ = 2A Cos (φ / 2)sin(kx - ωt + φ/2 )

Given;

phase difference, φ = 45°

Amplitude, A = 7.00 cm

Y = 2(7) Cos (45 /2) sin(kx - ωt + 22.5° )

Y = 12.93 cm

Therefore, the amplitude of the resultant wave is 12.93 cm.

A line from the Brackett series of hydrogen has a wavelength of 1945nm (or 1.0979x10^7m). From which state did the electron orig
Zarrin [17]
We use the Rydberg Equation for this which is expressed as:

<span>1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
</span>
where lambda is the wavelength, where n represents the final and initial states. Brackett series means that the initial orbit that electron was there is 4 and R is equal to 1.0979x10^7m<span>. Thus,
</span>
1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
1/1.0979x10^7m = 1.0979x10^7m [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(4)^2]

Solving for n2, we obtain n=1.

Which is one use for radioactive isotopes? sanitation architecture meteorology archaeology
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Archaeology

Explanation:

Radioisotopes are radioactive atoms of an element in which their atoms contain excess energy making them unstable. When broken down they become more stable releasing radiations.

Carbon 14 is a radioactive isotope that is used in archaeology to study and estimate the lifespan and age of organic materials such as wood, leather. Carbon 14 can be used to estimate the ages of materials up to 50000 to 60000 years.

Three packing crates of masses, M1 = 6 kg, M2 = 2 kg and M3 = 8 kg are connected by a light string of negligible mass that passe
never [62]

Answer:

39.81 N

Explanation:

I attached an image of the free body diagrams I drew of crate #1 and #2.  

Using these diagram, we can set up a system of equations for the sum of forces in the x and y direction.

∑Fₓ = maₓ

∑Fᵧ = maᵧ

Let's start with the free body diagram for crate #2. Let's set the positive direction on top and the negative direction on the bottom. We can see that the forces acting on crate #2 are in the y-direction, so let's use Newton's 2nd Law to write this equation:

  • ∑Fᵧ = maᵧ  
  • T₁ - m₂g = m₂aᵧ

Note that the tension and acceleration are constant throughout the system since the string has a negligible mass. Therefore, we don't really need to write the subscripts under T and a, but I am doing so just so there is no confusion.

Let's solve for T in the equation...

  • T₁ = m₂aᵧ + m₂g
  • T₁ = m₂(a + g)

We'll come back to this equation later. Now let's go to the free body diagram for crate #1.

We want to solve for the forces in the x-direction now. Let's set the leftwards direction to be positive and the rightwards direction to be negative.

  • ∑Fₓ = maₓ
  • F_f - F_g sinΘ = maₓ

The normal force is equal to the x-component of the force of gravity.

  • (F_n · μ_k) - m₁g sinΘ = m₁aₓ
  • (F_g cosΘ · μ_k) - m₁g sinΘ = m₁aₓ
  • [m₁g cos(30) · 0.28] - [m₁g sin(30)] = m₁aₓ
  • [(6)(9.8)cos(30) · 0.28] - [(6)(9.8)sin(30)] = (6)aₓ
  • [2.539595871] - [-58.0962595] = 6aₓ
  • 60.63585537 = 6aₓ
  • aₓ = 10.1059759 m/s²

Now let's go back to this equation:

  • T₁ = m₂(a + g)  

We have 3 known variables and we can solve for the tension force.

  • T = 2(10.1059759 + 9.8)
  • T = 2(19.9059759)
  • T = 39.8119518 N

The tension force is the same throughout the string, therefore, the tension in the string connecting M2 and M3 is 39.81 N.
