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.

A tennis ball, 0.314kg, is accelerated at a rate of 164m/s2 when hit by a professional tennis player. What force does the player
Colt1911 [192]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

= (0.314 kg) x (164 m/s²)

=  51.5 newtons

(about 11.6 pounds).

Notice that the ball is only accelerating while it's in contact with the racket. The instant the ball loses contact with the racket, it stops accelerating, and sails off in a straight line at whatever speed it had when it left the strings.

  • Mass=0.25kg
  • Force=8N

\\ \sf{:}\!\implies F=ma

\\ \sf{:}\!\implies Acceleration=\dfrac{F}{m}

\\ \sf{:}\!\implies Acceleration=\dfrac{8}{0.25}

\\ \sf{:}\!\implies Acceleration=32m/s^2

Electronic flash units for camera contain a capacitor for storing the energy used to produce the flash. In one such unit, the fl
nadezda [96]

Answer:

420J

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of change in energy. Power is the ratio of energy to time. The S.I unit of power is in watts.

Given that the flash lasts for 1/675 s, power output is 2.7 * 10⁵ W. Hence:

Power = Energy / time

Substituting:

2.7 * 10⁵ W = Energy / (1/675)

Energy = 2.7 * 10⁵ W * 1/675 = 400J

Therefore the energy emitted as light is 400J.

Since the conversion of electric energy to light is 95% efficient, hence the energy stored as electrical energy is:

Energy(capacitor) = 5% of 400J + 400J = 0.05*400 + 400

Energy(capacitor) = 420J

A 2.0 kg particle moving along the z-axis experiences the
DochEvi [55]

At point x = 0, the particle accelerates. Since there will be change of velocity at that point. The the force of the particle will change from negative sign to positive sign according to the given figure, we can therefore conclude that the particle will have a turning point at point x = 0.

Given that a 2.0 kg particle moving along the z-axis experiences the  force shown in a given figure.

Force is the product of mass and acceleration. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both the force and acceleration are vector quantities. They have both magnitude and direction.

If the particle's velocity is  3.0 m/s at x = 0 m, that mean that the particle experience change of velocity at point x = 0. Since the the force of the particle will change from negative sign to positive sign according to the given figure, we can therefore conclude that the particle will have a turning point at point x = 0.
