3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude of resultant wave as the result of  overlap of two waves depends upon the phase difference between the two.  If the waves meet crest to trough , the phase difference is 180 degree or they are in opposite phase . Hence they will destroy each other . The amplitude of resultant wave can be obtained by subtracting the amplitudes of two waves. They will interfere destructively.

Amplitude of resultant gives waves = 4.6 - 2 = 2.6 cm.

What happens to the temperature of a substance when it is changing state of matter?
noname [10]
Solid substances have molecules held tightly and close together
Liquid substances have molecules moving loosely
Gaseous molecules are moving completely freely

As moleclues get further apart, i.e. As a substance changes state from solid to liquid to gas, molecules gain kinetic energy and vibrate/move more. This means they gain heat energy (the averge energy a substance has) so the temperature increases

Substances exist in different states at different temperatures and different substances will exist in different states at the same temperature. This is to do with the forces between molecules and how much heat (energy) is required to break them

If the car is traveling at a velocity of 15 m/s, what is the approximate centripetal acceleration of the car?.
BaLLatris [955]

The vehicle's centripetal acceleration is equal to 22.5m/s²

Radius, r = 10 meter

Speed, V = 15 m/s

To ascertain the car's centripetal acceleration

A(c) = V²/R

We obtain the following when we enter the formula's parameters:

A(c) = 152/10

A(c) = 225/10

A(c) = 22.5m/s²

<h3>What is Centripetal acceleration ?</h3>

When an item moves in a circular route, one of its motion characteristics is centripetal acceleration. Any motion in a circle with an acceleration vector pointing in the direction of the circle's centre is referred to as centripetal acceleration.

  • Centripetal forces cause accelerations at the centripetal axis. With the exception of the Earth's rotation around the Sun, any satellite's circular motion around a celestial body is brought on by the centripetal force produced by their mutual gravitational pull.

Hence, Centripetal acceleration is

22.5 m/s²

What is the average power supplied by a 60.0 kg secretary running up a flight of stairs rising vertically 4.0 m in 4.2 s?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

9.8kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass= 60kg

Hieght= 4m

Time= 4.2seconds

We know that the energy possessed is given as

PE=mgh

PE=60*9.81*4

PE= 2354.4 Joulse

Also, the expression for power is

Power=Energy*Time

Power= 2354.4*4.2

Power=9888.48 watt

Power= 9.8kW
