Answer:

In constructive waves, a <u><em>greater</em></u> amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a <u><em>smaller</em></u> amplitude is formed. (option A)

Explanation:

Interference is called the superposition or sum of two or more waves. Depending mainly on the wavelengths, amplitudes and the relative distance between them, there are two types of interference: constructive or destructive.

Constructive interference occurs when there are two waves of identical or similar frequency (both have motions equal to an even number of similar wavelengths) and overlap the peak of one with the peak of the other. These effects add together and make a wave of greater amplitude. All of this is possible because the waves were in the same phase in the beginning (in the same position).

Destructive interference occurs in the opposite case to constructive. When the crest of one wave overlaps the valley of the other, they cancel out since they are in different phases when they overlap (they were in different positions). That is, as in the case of constructive waves they were added, in the case of destructive waves they cancel out (subtract).

So, <u><em>In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed. </em></u>

Alexandra is attempting to drag her 32.6 kg golden retriever across the wooden floor by applying a horizontal force. What force
vichka [17]

Answer:

230.26 N

Explanation:

Since the speed is constant, acceleration is zero hence the net force will be given by the product of mass, coefficient of friction and acceleration due to gravity

F=0.72*32.6*9.81=230.26 N

flipper (the dolphin) is out in the open ocean hunting tuna avec. he emits his pulse at 22khz and .42 seconds later he hears it
marusya05 [52]
First we need to find the speed of the dolphin sound wave in the water. We can use the following relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave:
v=\lambda f
where
v is the wave speed
\lambda its wavelength
f its frequency
Using \lambda = 2 cm = 0.02 m and f=22 kHz = 22000 Hz, we get
v=(0.02 m)(22000 Hz)=440 m/s

We know that the dolphin sound wave takes t=0.42 s to travel to the tuna and back to the dolphin. If we call L the distance between the tuna and the dolphin, the sound wave covers a distance of S=2 L in a time t=0.42 s, so we can write the basic relationship between space, time and velocity for a uniform motion as:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{2L}{t}
and since we know both v and t, we can find the distance L between the dolphin and the tuna:
L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(440 m/s)(0.42 s)}{2}=92.4 m
