The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.
Option A
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.
If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.
Answer:
(a)0.531m/s
(b)0.00169
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of bullet, m=4.67 g=
1 kg =1000 g
Speed of bullet, v=357m/s
Mass of block 1,
Mass of block 2,
Velocity of block 1,
(a)
Let velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=v2
Using conservation of momentum
Initial momentum=Final momentum
Hence, the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=0.531m/s
(b)Initial kinetic energy before collision
Final kinetic energy after collision
Now, he ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision
=
=0.00169
Mercury's natural state is where the atoms are close to each other but are still free to pass by each other. In which state(s) could mercury naturally exist?
Liquid is the answer
