Answer:

A. Constructive

B. Destructive

C. Destructive

D. Constructive

Explanation:

Constructive interference takes place at locations along the path of two superposed waves where the waves are in phase such that a high or low point of one of the waves corresponds with a high or low point of the other wave which gives a resulting wave amplitude which is the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves

Destructive interference takes place at locations along the path of two superposed waves where one wave is out of phase with the other wave such that a high or low point of one of the waves coincides with a low or high point of the other wave respectively thereby cancelling the effect of the other wave and giving a resulting wave that has an amplitude which is the difference in the amplitudes of the individual waves

Therefore;

At point A, the peak of each wave partially coincides resulting in constructive interference

At point B, the peak of the blue wave and the trough of the red wave partially coincides resulting in destructive interference

At point C, the through of the blue wave and the peak of the back wave partially coincides resulting in destructive interference

At point D, the trough of each wave partially coincides resulting in constructive interference.

A person hits a tennis ball with a mass of 0.058 kg against a wall.

horrorfan [7]

Explanation:

Mass of the ball, m = 0.058 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 11 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -11 m/s (negative as it rebounds)

Time, t = 2.1 s

(a) Let F is the average force exerted on the wall. It is given by :

$F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}$

$F=\dfrac{0.058\times (11-(-11))}{2.1}$

F = 0.607 N

(b) Area of wall, $A=3\ m^2$

Let P is the average pressure on that area. It is given by :

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$P=\dfrac{0.607\ N}{3\ m^2}$

P = 0.202 Pa

Hence, this is the required solution.

According to Newton's first law of motion, what is required to make an object slow down? Enter your answer in the space provided

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

According to newton's first law of motion, friction is required to make an object slow down.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's first law of motion, for an object to change its velocity (either a change in the magnitude or the direction), there must be a cause to it which is defined as a net external force.

For example, an object which is sliding across a table or floor slows down due to the net force of friction that is acting on that object.
