What is happening when two waves with identical crests and troughs meet?

Physics

GenaCL600 [577]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When two waves meet in such a way that their crests line up together, then it's called constructive interference. The resulting wave has a higher amplitude. In destructive interference, the crest of one wave meets the trough of another, and the result is a lower total amplitude.

a ball rolls off the edge of a 2m high shelf at a speed of 5 m/s and hits the ground the taken to hit the ground is
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation

Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 where delta x is the displacement of the object, v0 is the velocity of the object, a is the pull of gravity, and t is the time in seconds. That's our unknown.

Δx = -2 (negative because where it ends up is lower than the point at which it started),

v_0=5, and

a = -9.8

Filling in:

-2=5t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8) t^2 and simplified a bit:

-2=5t-4.9 t^2

this should look hauntingly familiar (a quadratic, which is parabolic motion...very important in physics!!). We begin by getting everything on one side of the equals sign and solving for t by factoring:

-4.9 t^2+5t+2=0 (the 0 is also indicative of the object landing on the ground! Isn't this a beautiful thing, how it all just works so perfectly together?)

When you factor this however your math/physics teacher has you factoring you will get that

t = 1.3 sec and t = -.31 sec

Since we all know that time can NEVER be negative, it takes the ball 1.3 sec to hit the ground from a height of 2 m if it is rolling off the shelf at 5 m/s.

The freight cars a and b have a mass of 20 mg and 15 mg, respectively. if the cars collide and couple together, what is the velo
igomit [66]

Suppose car A is moving with a velocity Va, and car b with a velocity Vb,

According the principle of conservation of momentum:

Va x Ma + Vb x Mb = (Ma + Mb) V

V = (Va x Ma + Vb x Mb)/(Ma +Mb)

V = speed of cars after coupling

V = (Va x 20 mg + Vb x  15 mg)/(20 mg + 15 mg)

Put in the values of Va and Vb, and get the V

If object A has more mass than object B, what will object A need to accelerate at the same rate as object B?
Leni [432]

Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Object A has more mass than object B

  For object A to accelerate at the same rate as object B, it will need more force.

According to Newton's second law of motion "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

  Net force  = mass x acceleration

Now, if a body has more mass and needs to accelerate at the same rate as another one with a lower mass, the force on it must be increased.

7. A golfer hits a golf ball a through a horizontal displacement of 80m. The time of flight for the ball was 1.8
Darya [45]

Answer:

44.4 m/s

Explanation:

d = 80 m, t = 1.8 s, find v

d = v*t

v = d/t = 80/1.8 = 44.4 m/s

An object moves in a circle at a constant speed of 1.0 m/s. The radius of the circle is 1.0 m. If a force of 1.0 N acts toward t
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:5

Explanation:

Given

speed of object v=1\ m/s

radius of circle r=1\ m

Force towards the center F=1\ N

Work done is given by the dot product of Force and displacement

and we know know displacement of the object is along the circle which is perpendicular to the force acting therefore Work done will be zero

W=F\cdot s\cos 90

W=0
