Answer:

(B) a whole number of wavelengths.

Explanation:

Two beams of coherent light start out at the same point in phase and travel different paths to arrive at point P. If the maximum destructive interference is to occur at point P, the two beams must travel paths that differ by a whole number of wavelengths.

When the resultant effect of the combination of two identical waves result in their annihilation or complete cancellation of the effect of each other, destructive interference takes place. Hence to have two wave sources producing waves that have the same frequency wavelength and amplitude and which are always in phase with each other or have a constant phase difference are said to be Coherent source

Si tenemos tres cubos del mismo tamaño (hierro, madera e icopor). ¿Qué diferencias puede encontrar entre ellos?
cricket20 [7]

Answer: La diferencia es el peso (o la masa), siendo que el cubo de hierro es el mas pesado, después viene el de madera y después el de icopor.

Explanation:

Ok, los 3 cubos tienen el mismo tamaño, lo que implica que tienen el mismo volumen.

Ahora es útil recordar la relación:

Densidad = masa/volumen.

Masa = densidad*volumen.

Nosotros sabemos que la densidad del hierro es mas grande que la de la madera, y la densidad de la madera es mas grande que la del icopor.

Entonces, por la relación anterior, y sabiendo que todos los cubos tienen el mismo volumen, podemos reconocer que el cubo de hierro tiene mayor masa, después viene el de madera y después viene el de icopor.

Y sabiendo que:

masa*gravedad = peso

podemos saber que el cubo mas pesado es el de hierro, después el de madera y después el de icopor.

Además de esta diferencia, también hay otras que no dependen tanto del tamaño del objeto, como pueden ser las capacidades caloríficas, el como reaccionan a campos eléctricos y cosas así que son triviales, pues son diferentes para casi todos los materiales.

Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between force and work?
viktelen [127]

a).,  b).,  and  c).  are completely false. 
There isn't a grain of truth among them.

A bullet with mass 1.0kg and velocity 180 m/s is brought to rest in 0.02 s by a sandbag.assuming constant acceleration in the sa
kotykmax [81]
Hello
The bullet is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.
The initial velocity is v_i=180~m/s, the final velocity is v_i=0~m/s, and the total time of the motion is \Delta t=0.02~s, so the acceleration is given by
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t} = -9000~m/s^2 
where the negative sign means that is a deceleration.
Therefore we can calculate the total distance covered by the bullet in its motion using
S=v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 180~m/s \cdot 0.02~s + \frac{1}{2}(-9000~m/s^2)(0.02~s)^2=1.8~m
So, the bullet penetrates the sandbag 1.8 meters.

If the amplitude of a wave is 4 feet, what is the Wave Height?
Alexus [3.1K]

A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,
