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.

Time dilation: A missile moves with speed 6.5-10 m/s with respect to an observer on the ground. How long will it take the missil

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The time taken by missile's clock is $4.6\times 10^{6} s$

Solution:

As per the question:

Speed of the missile, $v_{m = 6.5\times 10^{3}} m/s$

Now,

If 'T' be the time of the frame at rest then the dilated time as per the question is given as:

T' = T + 1

Now, using the time dilation eqn:

$T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$\frac{T'}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$\frac{T + 1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = (1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2})^{- \frac{1}{2}}$ (1)

Using binomial theorem in the above eqn:

We know that:

$(1 + x)^{a} = 1 + ax$

Thus eqn (1) becomes:

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = 1 - \frac{- 1}{2}.\frac{v_{m}^{2}}{c^{2}}$

$T = \frac{2c^{2}}{v_{m}^{2}}$

Now, putting appropriate values in the above eqn:

$T = \frac{2(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}{(6.5\times 10^{3})^{2}}$

$T = 4.6\times 10^{6} s$

A motorcycle starts from rest and has a constant acceleration. In a time interval t, it undergoes a displacement x and attains a

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

√(6ax)

Explanation:

Hi!

The question states that during a time t the motorcyle underwent a displacement x at constant acceleration a starting from rest, mathematically we can express it as:

x=(1/2)at^2

Then the we need to find the time t' for which the displacement is 3x

3x=(1/2)a(t')^2

Solving for t':

t'=√(6x/a)

Now, the velocity of the motorcycle as a function of time is:

v(t)=a*t

Evaluating at t=t'

v(t')=a*√(6x/a)=√(6*x*a)

Which is the final velocity

Have a nice day!

A car battery has a rating of 170 ampere-hours. This rating is one indication of the total charge that the battery can provide t

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

612000 C

Explanation:

Current, I, is given as the rate of flow of charge, that is:

I = Δq / Δt

where q = electric charge

t = time taken

This implies that:

Δq = I * Δt

The battery rating is 170 Ampere-hours, therefore:

Δq = 170 * 1 hour

But 1 hour = 3600 seconds;

=> Δq = 170 * 3600 = 612000 C

The total charge that the battery can provide is 612000 C.

How would the photos set up change the mechanical advantage of lifting the block as compared with lifting the block without a le

lisabon 2012 [21]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The mechanical advantage would decrease, making the block more difficult to lift.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The mechanical advantage in such a setup is the ratio of distance from A to B to the distance from D to B. In this picture, that ratio is less than 1, meaning the advantage of having this setup is less than the advantage of no setup at all.

While the force required to lift the block is increased by this setup, the distance over which that force is applied will be smaller for raising the block to a given height. (Overall, for the same height, more work is required with the lever setup because you're raising part of the mass of the lever as well as the mass of the block.)
