Answer:

Destructive interference

Explanation:

Destructive interference occurs when two waves traveling along the same medium meet and cancel each other out. The resultant wave has a smaller amplitude than the individual waves. In this case, the maxima of two waves are 180 degrees out of phase.

Hence, the correct option is (A) "destructive interference"

T= 3.34

Vi= 0

A= 9.81

D= ?

d=Vit+1/2at^2

d= 1/2(9.81)(3.34)2

d= 54.7 or 55 meters tall

Two coconuts fall freely from rest at the same time, one from a tree twice as high as the other. If the coconut from the shorter

valentinak56 [21]

Wee can use here kinematics

as we know that

$y = v*t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

for shorter tree we know that

$y = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8 * 2^2$

$y = 19.6 meter$

now since we know that other tree is twice high

So height of other tree is y = 39.2 m

now again by above equation

$y = v*t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$39.2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8 * t^2$

$t = 2.83 s$

so the time taken is 2.83 s
