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.

Answer:

A. Speed

Explanation:

Speed is the magnitude of velocity, which is given in the question. Velocity is a vector quantity and therefore has both a magnitude and a direction. Only the former is implied in the question.

How do you think that changing the mass of the pendulum bob will affect the period of the pendulum swing?

myrzilka [38]

(Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.)

If an object force of 50 N is used to move an object a distance of 20 m, what distance must the object be moved if the input for

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.$

Explanation:

Given data:

$F_{in} = 50 \ \rm N$

$F_{out} = 10 \ \rm N$

$d_{in} = 20 \ m$

Let the distance traveled by the object in the second case be $d_{out}.$

In the given problem, work done by the forces are same in both the cases.

Thus,

$W_{in} = W_{out}$

$F_{in}.d_{in} = F_{out}.d_{out}$

$\Rightarrow \ d_{out} = \frac{F_{in}.d_{in}}{F_{out}}$

$\ d_{out} = \frac{50 \times 20}{10}$

$\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.$

The position of a 55 g oscillating mass is given by x(t)=(2.0cm)cos(10t), where t is in seconds. determine the velocity at t=0.4

NNADVOKAT [17]

The position of the mass is given by (in cm):
$x(t)=2 \cos (10 t)$
The velocity is the derivative of the position:
$v(t) = \frac{dx(t)}{dt} =-10\cdot 2 \sin (10t)=-20 \sin (10t)$
Substituting t=0.40 s, we can find the velocity at this time:
$v(0.40 s)= -20 \sin (10 \cdot 0.4)=15 cm/s=15 \cdot 10^{-2}m/s$

Which occurs when two or more waves combine to produce a wave with a larger displacement?

Dimas [21]

When two or more waves combine to produce a new wave, that's 'interference'.

-- If the new wave has larger displacements (amplitude), then it's <em>CON</em>structive interference.

-- If the new wave has smaller displacements (amplitude), then it's DEstructive interference.
