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>

A sled is slowing down at the bottom of a snowy hill.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

A sled and its rider are moving at a speed of along a horizontal stretch of snow, as Figure 4.24a illustrates. The snow exerts a kinetic frictional force on the runners of the sled, so the sled slows down and eventually comes to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.050. What is the displacement x of the sled?

Two students make the following claims:
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

E. Student 1 is correct, because as θ is increased, h is the same.

Explanation:

Here we have the object of a certain mass falling under gravity so the force acting on the it will depend on mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically:

F=m.g

As we know that the work done is evaluated as the force applied on a body and the displacement of the body in the direction of the force.

And for work we have:

W=F.s\cos\theta

where:

s= displacement of the object

\theta= angle between the force and displacement vectors

Given that the height of the object is same in each trail of falling object under the gravity be it a free-fall or the incline plane.

  • In case of free-fall the angle between the force is and the displacement is zero.
  • In case when the body moves along the inclined plane the force applied by the gravity is same because it depends upon the mass of the object. And the net displacement in the direction of the gravitational force is the height of the object which is constant in both the cases.

So, the work done by the gravitational force is same in the two cases.

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of “Applications of Newton’s Laws”?
Shkiper50 [21]

 

Newton's three forces, normal, tension and friction, are present in a surprising number of physical situations

Newton's Laws, that describe the relationship between an obejct and the forces acting upon it, apply in almost every physical situation, from quantum mechanics to electricity.

The correct answer is:

Newton’s laws can explain the forces that occur between objects every day
