<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>

A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed the forces resisting
IrinaK [193]

Answer:1265 N

Explanation:

Given

acceleration of motorcycle \left ( a\right )=3.5 m/s^2

Velocity \left ( v\right )=90 km/h\approx 25m/s

Air friction and Friction\left ( f\right )=425 N

mass of the motorcycle with rider\left ( m\right )=240 Kg

Applying Forces on motorcycle

F_{engine}-f=ma

F_{engine}=f+ma

F_{engine}=425+240\left ( 3.5\right )

F_{engine}=425+840=1265 N

You want to move a 4- kg bookcase to a different place in the living room. If u push with a force of 65 n and the bookcase accel
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1.65

Explanation:

The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:

F-F_f = ma (1)

where

F = 65 N is the force applied with the push

F_f is the frictional force

m = 4 kg is the mass

a=0.12 m/s^2 is the acceleration

The force of friction can be written as F_f = \mu R (2), where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the normal force exerted by the floor

The equation of forces along the vertical direction is

R-mg=0 (3)

since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find

F-\mu mg = ma

And solving for \mu,

\mu = \frac{F-ma}{mg}=\frac{65-(4)(0.12)}{4(9.8)}=1.65

On February 15, 2013, Asteroid 2012 DA14 passed within 17,200 miles [mi] of the surface of the Earth at a relative speed of 7.8
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ

1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = mv²/2

velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s

To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.

Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³

But density = mass/volume

So, mass = density × volume.

Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,

Volume = 4πr³/3

Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m

Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³

Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg

Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J
