<span>Two sound waves of equal amplitude interfere so that the compression of one wave falls on the rarefaction of the other. The statement which is true is that A. no sound is heard.
These waves interfere, which means that their equal amplitudes match and thus cancel each other out, which is why there is no sound.

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

A.No sound is heard.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Interference of a wave is the property a wave that occurs when two waves travelling in the same medium meet at a point or superpose at a point in the medium.</u></em>
  • Interference may be constructive or destructive. Constructive occurs when two identical waves travelling in the same medium in phase meet at a point. The resulting wave has twice the amplitude of the individual waves.
  • <u><em>Destructive interference occurs when two waves travelling in the same medium meet and out of phase. The resulting amplitude will be zero if the initial waves are identical, or the difference between the amplitude of the original waves if they are not identical.</em></u>
  • In this case,<em><u> the two sound waves are out of phase since the compression of one wave falls on the rarefaction of the other, and thus these waves cancel out and the resulting amplitude is zero and hence no sound will be heard.</u></em>

lbvjy [14]

In collision of the steel ball and the steel plate, the collision is an inelastic collision and there is loss in the kinetic energy.

<h3>What are collisions?</h3>

Collisions occur when two objects that are moving in the same directions or in different direction meet each other and collide.

There are two types of collisions:

  • elastic collision - the kinetic energy is conserved
  • inelastic collision - there is a loss in kinetic energy

In the collision of the steel ball and the steel plate, there is loss in the kinetic energy of the steel ball which is converted to sound energy.

In conclusion, the collision of the steel and steel plate is an inelastic collision.

Whenever possible, these types of power plants should be built because they generate virtually no pollution. (2 points)
geniusboy [140]
Wind farms, solar collectors, and nuclear power plants generate no pollution.

But wind farms make noise, wind and solar are both hazardous to birds, and there's no known means of disposing of nuclear plant waste that's completely safe.

A centrifuge in a forensics laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,700 rev/min. When switched off, it rotates 46.0 times be
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

initial angular speed, ω = 3,700 rev/min

                                      = 3700\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}=387.27\ rad/s

final angular speed = 0 rad/s

Number of time it rotates= 46 times

angular displacement, θ = 2π x 46 = 92 π

Angular acceleration

\alpha = \dfrac{\omega_f^2 - \omega^2}{2\theta}

\alpha = \dfrac{0 - 387.27^2}{2\times 92\ pi}

\alpha = -259.28 rad/s^2
