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.

The position of a ball rolling in a straight line is given by x=2−3.6t+4.4t2, where x is in meters and t in seconds.

I'm assuming the question is time it will take for ball to reach ground, if it is then set equation to zero then use the quadratic formula, the possible t value is your answer then

A rocket fires two engines simultaneously. One produces a thrust of 725Ndirectly forward while the other gives a 513N thrust at
faust18 [17]

The magnitude of the resultant force, F = 1,190.3 acting at a direction X = 13.35°.

<h3>What is the resultant force the two engines exert on the rocket?</h3>

The resultant force on the rocket is calculated thus:

The 513N thrust is resolved into vertical and horizontal components;

Horizontal component: 513N cos(32.4°) = 433.14 N

Vertical component: 513N sin(32.4°) = 274.88 N

Total forward force on the rocket = 725 N + 433.14 N = 1,158.14 N

Total force at right angles:

0 + 274.88 N = 274.88 N

The resultant force (F) is then given as follows:

F² = a² + b²

F² = (1158.14 N)² + (274.88 N)²

F = √1,416,847.27

F = 1,190.3

To find the direction:

tan X 274.88 N / 1,158.14 N

X = tan⁻¹ 0.237346089419241

X = 13.35°

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force, F = 1,190.3 acting at a direction X = 13.35°.

In conclusion, the resultant force is obtained by resolving the forces into vertical and horizontal components.
