The initial velocity of the stone is 0 ft/s. Given the initial velocity (Vi), final velocity (Vf), and acceleration due to gravity (g), the distance may be calculated through the equation,
d = ((Vf)² - (Vi)²) / 2g
Substituting the known values,
d = ((96 ft/s)² - 0))/ (2x32.2)
The value of d is 143.10 ft.
When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.
Option A
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.
If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.
The distance is 30 km and the displacement is 22.4 km North East
