Answer:

zero or 2π is maximum

Explanation:

Sine waves can be written

      x₁ = A sin (kx -wt + φ₁)

     x₂ = A sin (kx- wt + φ₂)

When the wave travels in the same direction

      Xt = x₁ + x₂

      Xt = A [sin (kx-wt + φ₁) + sin (kx-wt + φ₂)]

We are going to develop trigonometric functions, let's call

     a = kx + wt

     Xt = A [sin (a + φ₁) + sin (a + φ₂)

We develop breasts of double angles

     sin (a + φ₁) = sin a cos φ₁ + sin φ₁ cos a

    sin (a + φ₂) = sin a cos φ₂ + sin φ₂ cos a

Let's make the sum

     sin (a + φ₁) + sin (a + φ₂) = sin a (cos φ₁ + cos φ₂) + cos a (sin φ₁ + sinφ₂)

to have a maximum of the sine function, the cosine of fi must be maximum

     cos φ₁ + cos φ₂ = 1 +1 = 2

the possible values ​​of each phase are

     φ1 = 0, π, 2π  

     φ2 = 0, π, 2π,  

so that the phase difference of being zero or 2π is maximum

An object is projected with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building that has height H. The initial velocity of
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity u = V₀ in upward direction so it will be negative

u = - V₀

Displacement s = H . It is downwards so it will be positive

Acceleration = g ( positive as it is also downwards )

Using the formula

v² = u² + 2 g s

v² = (- V₀ )² + 2 g H

= V₀² + 2 g H .

v = √ ( V₀² + 2 g H )

Question #2
Contact [7]

Answer:

Distance 20 km and Displacement 0 km

His displaceent is 0 km because he ends his walk where he started. The total distance of his walk is 20 km because he walks 10 km to the store + 10km back home.

The severity of a fall depends on your speed when you strike the ground. All factors but the acceleration from gravity being the
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

<em>The object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Falling</u>

When an object is released from rest in free air (no friction), the motion is completely dependant on the acceleration of gravity g.

If we drop an object of mass m near the Earth surface from a height h, it has initial mechanical energy of

U=m.g.h

When the object strikes the ground, all the mechanical energy (only potential energy) becomes into kinetic energy

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^2

Where v is the speed just before hitting the ground

If we know the speed v is safe for the integrity of the object, then we can know the height it was dropped from

\displaystyle m.g.h=\frac{1}{2}m.v^2

Solving for h

\displaystyle h=\frac{m.v^2}{2mg}=\frac{v^2}{2g}

If the drop had occurred in the Moon, then

\displaystyle h_M=\frac{v_M^2}{2g_M}

Where hM, vM and gM are the corresponding parameters on the Moon. We know v is the safe hitting speed and the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is g_M=1/6 g

\displaystyle h_M=\frac{v^2}{2\frac{1}{6}g}

\displaystyle h_M=6\frac{v^2}{2g}=6h

This means the object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe

Points A, B, and C form the vertices of a triangle in a nonuniform electrostatic field. The electrostatic work done on a particl
Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let electric potential at A ,B and C be Va , Vb and Vc respectively.

Work done = charge x potential difference

Wab = q ( Va - Vb )

Wac =  q (  Va -  Vc )

Given

Wac = - Wab / 3

3Wac = - Wab

Now

Wbc = q ( Vb - Vc )

= q [ ( Va-Vc ) - ( Va - Vb )]  

= Wac - Wab

= Wac + 3Wac

= 4Wac

Hot combustion gases enter the nozzle of a turbojet engine at 260 kpa, 747oc, and 80 m/s. the gases exit at a pressure of 85 kpa
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Hot combustion gases are accelerated in a 92% efficient adiabatic nozzle from low velocity to a specified velocity. The exit velocity and the exit temp are to be determined.

 

 

Given:

 

T1 = 1020 K à h1 = 1068.89 kJ/kg, Pr1 = 123.4

P1 = 260 kPa

T1 = 747 degrees Celsius

V1 = 80 m/s ->nN = 92% -> P2 = 85 kPa

Solution:

From the isentropic relation,

Pr2<span> = (P2 / P1)PR1 = (85 kPa / 260 kPa) (123.4) = 40.34 = h2s = 783.92 kJ/kg</span>

 

There is only one inlet and one exit, and thus, m1 = m2 = m3. We take the nozzle as the system, which is a control volume since mass crosses the boundary.

 

h2a = 1068.89 kJ/kg – (((728.2 m/s)­2 – (80 m/s)2) / 2) (1 kJ/kg / 1000 m2/s2) = 806.95 kJ/kg\

From the air table, we read T2a  = 786.3 K
