Answer: y'=2Asin(kx)cos(wt)

Explanation:

Let y1=A sin (kx + wt) be the first wave

y2=A sin (kx - wt) be the second wave in the opposite direction (which we showed by putting a negative sign between the terms kx and wt)

Please do note that both wave have the same attributes (that's Amplitude, wave number and angular frequency) because they are formed on the same medium by the same source just that their directions are opposite.

By super imposing these 2 waves, we have a resulting singular wave representing both wave (law of superimposition) with a resulting value of vertical displacement y'.

Thus y' = y1 + y2.

Let us do the math.

y'=A sin (kx + wt) + A sin (kx - wt)

By factoring A out, we have that

y' = A [ sin (kx + wt) + sin (kx - wt)]

For simplicity let us use the substitution

Let (kx + wt) = a and (kx - wt) =b

Hence we have that

y' = A [sin a + sin b].

From trigonometric ratio

sin a + sin b = 2sin[(a+b)/2] * cos [(a - b)/2]

By recalling that (kx + wt) = a and (kx - wt) =b

sin a + sin b = 2sin [(kx +wt +kx-wt) /2] * cos [(kx +wt - (kx-wt))/2]

Thus we have that

sin a + sin b = 2sin [(kx+wt+kx-wt)/2] * cos[(kx+wt-kx+wt)/2]

By collecting like terms in the bracket we have that

sin a + sin b = 2sin[2kx/2] * cos [2wt/2]

By dividing

sin a + sin b = 2sin(kx) cos(wt)

Now let us get the final resultant vertical displacement (y')

Recall that

y' = A [sin a + sin b]. and we already deduced that

sin a + sin b = 2sin(kx) cos(wt)

Finally,

y' = A [2sin(kx) cos(wt)] which is

y'=2Asin(kx)cos(wt)...... Final answer

A 81 kg block is released at a 3.8 m height. the track is frictionless. the block travels down the track, hits a massless spring
Alenkinab [10]
Since the track is friction less, block’s kinetic energy at the bottom of the track is equal to its potential energy at the top of the track. 
PE = 81 * 9.8 * 3.8 = 3016.44 J
 Work = 1/2 * 1888 * d^2  
PE = Kinetic energy at the base.
 1/2 * 1888 * d^2 = 3016.44
 d = 1.78 approx 1.8
 F = Ke = 1888 * 1.8 = 3398.4N

vA child is in danger of drowning in the Merimac river. The Merimac river has a current of 3.1 km/hr to the east. The child is 0
ikadub [295]

Answer:

d = 2.26 km

Explanation:

Let the child is moving with speed same as the speed of water flow

So here the position of child with respect to flow must be zero

And if the boat start at an angle with the vertical

so its relative speed with flow of water is given as

v_x = 24.8 sin\theta

v_y = 24.8 cos\theta

now the time to reach the child is given as

\frac{0.6}{24.8 cos\theta} = \frac{2.5}{24.8 sin\theta }

so now we have

\theta = 76.5 degree

So the time to catch the child is given as

t = \frac{0.6}{24.8 cos78.2}

t = 0.104 h

So distance moved by it in 0.104 h

distance moved by the boat in upstream direction given as

x = (24.8 sin 74.8 - 3.1)(0.104)

x = 2.18 km

In y direction the displacement of boat is

y = 0.6 km

net displacement of the ball is given as

d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

d = \sqrt{2.18^2 + 0.6^2}

d = 2.26 km

1-Calculate Req
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

1. 21.66 Ohms

2.  3.38 A

3. 6.7 V

Explanation:

1. Req = 6+2 = 8 Ohms (2 and 6 are in a series circuit)

  Req = 1/8 +1/4 = 3/8 = 8/3 = 2.66 Ohms (8 and 4 are parallel, so we will add them using this equation)

  Req = 2.66 + 1 + 9 + 3 + 6 = 21.66 Ohms

2. I = V/R = 9/2.66 = 3.38 A (In a series circuit, the current is the same across the resistors, so we will add them and divided them by 9 volts)

3. V = IR = 3.38 x 2 = 6.7 V (In a series circuit, the voltage is different, so each resistor will have a different voltage.)

I hope this helps.  I am not an expert in physics but its ok :)
