Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are two types of interference possible when two waves meet at the same point:

- Constructive interference: this occurs when the two waves meet in phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinale wave) meets with the crest (compression) of the other wave. In such a case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is twice that of the original wave.

- Destructive interferece: this occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinal wave) meets with the trough (rarefaction) of the other wave. In this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is zero, since the amplitudes of the two waves cancel out.

In this problem, we have a situation where the compression of one wave meets with the compression of the second wave, so we have constructive interference.

How long does it take anya to cover the distance of 5.00 miles ?

sammy [17]

Here is the full information about the question. Ilya and Anya each can run at a speed of 8.50mph and walk at a speed of 3.50 mph . They set off together on a route of length 5.00 miles . Anya walks half of the distance and runs the other half, while Ilya walks half of the time and runs the other half.
the calculation would be:

t = d / s 
t = 2.5 (half of the total distance) / 8.5 (speed of running) 
This is .294 hours which is about 1058s... 

for the walking part... 

t = d / s 
t = 2.5 / 3.5 
t = 5/7hours = 2571 s.

How was the lunar regolith formed?

Gwar [14]

It is formed by the impact of meteorites on the body’s surface. The force of the collision melts some of the impacted regolith to form objects.

A 25 kg block is held against a compressed spring and then the spring is allowed to decompress giving the block a velocity. The

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

h=18.05 cm

Explanation:

Given that

m= 25 kg

K= 1300 N/m

x=26.4 cm

θ= 19.5 ∘

When the block just leave the spring then the speed of block = v m/s

From energy conservation

$\dfrac{1}{2}Kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$Kx^2=mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}}$

By putting the values

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{1300\times 0.264^2}{25}}$

v=1.9 m/s

When block reach at the maximum height(h) position then the final speed of the block will be zero.

We know that

$V_f^2=V_i^2-2gh$

By putting the values

$0^2=1.9^2-2\times 10\times h$

h=0.1805 m

h=18.05 cm

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical ener

defon

Complete question:

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring–load system is 2.00 J. Find

(a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

(a) the force constant of the spring = 47 N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion = 0.292 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 200g = 0.2 kg

period of oscillation, T = 0.410 s

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 2 J

The angular speed is calculated as follows;

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \\\\\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.41} \\\\\omega = 15.33 \ rad/s$

(a) the force constant of the spring

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m \omega^2\\\\k = (0.2)(15.33)^2\\\\k = 47 \ N/m$

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂kA²

2E = kA²

A² = 2E/k

$A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{47} }\\\\A = 0.292 \ m$

] A new coal-fired 750 MWe power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, which contains 1.1% sulfur. a. I

Valentin [98]

Answer:

The net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr

Explanation:

Given that:

The power or the power plant = 750 MWe

Since the power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% (i.e. 0.42) burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, Then the energy released per one lb of the coal can be computed as:

$\mathtt{=( 0.42\times 9000\times 1055.06) J}$

= 3988126.8 J

= 3.99 MJ

Also, The mass of the burned coal per sec can be calculated by dividing the molecular weight of the power plant by the energy released per one lb.

i.e.

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec $=\dfrac{750}{3.99}$

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec = 187.97 lb/s

The mass of sulfur burned $= \dfrac{1.1}{100} \times 187.97 \ lb/s$

= 2.067 lb/s

To hour; we have:

= 7444 lb/hr

However, If a scrubber with 75% removal efficiency is utilized,

Then; the net emissions rate of sulfur is (1 - 0.75) × 7444 lb/hr

= 0.25 × 7444 lb/hr

= 1861 lb/hr

Hence, the net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr
