What is occurring when two waves traveling along the same medium meet and cancel each other out?

Physics

liberstina [14]3 years ago
5 0

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"

An engineer is designing a runway for a witch. Several brooms will use the runway and the engineer must design it so that it is
jonny [76]

Answer:

1170 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.30 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 88.0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

x

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(88.0 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3.30 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 1173.33 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the runway must be at least 1170 meters long.

A policeman is chasing a criminal across a rooftop at 10 m/s. He decides to jump to the next building which is 2 meters across f
valina [46]

Answer:

They will meet at a distance of 7.57 m

Given:

Initial velocity of policeman in the x- direction, u_{x} = 10 m/s

The distance between the buildings, d_{x} = 2.0 m

The building is lower by a height, h = 2.5 m

Solution:

Now,

When the policeman jumps from a height of 2.5 m, then his initial velocity, u was 0.

Thus

From the second eqn of motion, we can write:

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

2.5 = \frac{1}{2}\times 10\times t^{2}

t = 0.707 s

Now,

When the policeman was chasing across:

d_{x} = u_{x}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

d_{x} = 10\times 0.707 + \frac{1}{2}\times 10\times 0.5 = 9.57 m

The distance they will meet at:

9.57 - 2.0 = 7.57 m

It takes a minimum distance of 76.50 m to stop a car moving at 15.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
Vinvika [58]

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 32.0 m/s is 348.3 m.

<h3>Acceleration of the car </h3>

The acceleration of the car before stopping at the given distance is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2as

when the car stops, v = 0

0 = u² + 2as

0 = 15² + 2(76.5)a

0 = 225 + 153a

-a = 225/153

a = - 1.47 m/s²

<h3>Distance traveled when the speed is 32 m/s</h3>

If the same force is applied, then acceleration is constant.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 32² + 2(-1.47)s

2.94s = 1024

s = 348.3 m
