Hello!
This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.
Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.
a₀). You know ...
-- the object is dropped from 5 meters
above the pavement;
-- it falls for 0.83 second.
a₁). Without being told, you assume ...
-- there is no air anyplace where the marshmallow travels,
so it free-falls, with no air resistance;
-- the event is happening on Earth,
where the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s² .
b). You need to find how much LESS than 5 meters
the marshmallow falls in 0.83 second.
c). You can use whatever equations you like.
I'm going to use the equation for the distance an object falls in
' T ' seconds, in a place where the acceleration of gravity is ' G '.
d). To see how this all goes together for the solution, keep reading:
The distance that an object falls in ' T ' seconds
when it's dropped from rest is
(1/2 G) x (T²) .
On Earth, ' G ' is roughly 9.81 m/s², so in 0.83 seconds,
such an object would fall
(9.81 / 2) x (0.83)² = 3.38 meters .
It dropped from 5 meters above the pavement, but it
only fell 3.38 meters before something stopped it.
So it must have hit something that was
(5.00 - 3.38) = 1.62 meters
above the pavement. That's where the head of the unsuspecting
person was as he innocently walked by and got clobbered.
Answer:
P max = 1000 pa
P min = 200 pa
Explanation:
P = F/A
pressure will be maximum when surface gets minimum. so to find the maximum amount of pressure we need to calculate the minimum surface. it is 2cm×5cm = 10cm² = 0.001m² . then we have:
P = 1 / 0.001 = 1000 pa
to find minimum pressure the surface that must be chosen is 10cm×5cm = 50cm² = 0.005m² .
P = 1 / 0.005 = 200 pa
The total energy (also called mechanical energy) is the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy:
For this pendulum, we see that at t=0.60 s the total energy is TE=0.918 J while the potential energy is 0.054 J, so the kinetic energy (the missing value in the table) is
50 miles east. because the 30 miles north then south cancel each other out.
