What do we mean when we say that two light rays striking a screen are in phase with each other? What do we mean when we say that

two light rays striking a screen are in phase with each other? When the electric field due to one is a maximum, the electric field due to the other is also a maximum, and this relation is maintained as time passes. They alternately reinforce and cancel each other. They are traveling at the same speed. They have the same wavelength.

Answer: When the electric field due to one is a maximum, the electric field due to the other is also a maximum, and this relation is maintained as time passes. They alternatively reinforce and cancel each other.

Explanation:

In a wave, the phase, is an arbitrary time reference, used to locate a given point of the wave in time, within a cycle.

Two waves can travel at the same speed, or even have the same wavelength, but this is not enough to be sure that at a given point in time, both waves will be in their maximum, as it only can be determined from the phase of the waves.

So, only when the waves reach at the same point in time at the same amplitude, we can say that they arrive in phase, in a constructive interference.

Discuss the production, transmission, and usage of electricity in the context of conservation of energy. When electricity is “us
mr Goodwill [35]

There are huge losses in the transmission, production and usage of electricity and the reduction of these losses in order to save electricity is called as conservation of energy.

As per the statistics, there is loss of nearly 4% while the transmission of electricity. Like wise during production also, lot of electricity get wasted due to the inefficient material used. None of the production material nor the equipment used have 100% efficiency and thus there is always a possibility of energy wastage.

When it is said that the energy is wasted , it simply means that the energy production which should have been 100% as per calculation is not completely derived from the source due to the inefficient conversion process. For example, a turbine while rotating must convert 100 % of the water energy or water falling on it into electrical energy but the turbine is not able to do so as some of the water is lost or its energy is lost before conversion while going through the mechanical process.

Whale sharks swim forward while ascending or descending. They swim along a straight-line path at a shallow angle as they move fr
Aneli [31]
You did not include the quesetion, but I can help you to understand the problem and how to find the relevant information.

1) The angle of 13° with which the shark ascends meets this:

Vertical ascending velocity = 0.85m/s * sin(13°)

Horizontal velocity = 0.85m/s * cos(13°)

2) The length swan by the shark ascending meets this

Vertical ascending length = 50 m

Horizontal length, y:

\frac{y}{50} = \frac{0.85sin(13)}{0.85cos(13)}

From that y = 50 * tan(13°)

=> y = 11.54 m.

3) Conclusions:

1) The shark run 50 m vertically upward and 11.54 m horizontally.

2) The length of the path run by the shark may be calculated using Pythagoras' theorem:

hypotenuse^2 = (50m)^2 + (11.54m)^2 = 2633.25m^2

hypotenuse = 51.35m

So, the shark swan 51.35 m to reach the surface.

A hungry 169169 kg lion running northward at 77.377.3 km/hr attacks and holds onto a 31.731.7 kg Thomson's gazelle running eastw
navik [9.2K]

Answer:  75,242.9 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following parameters

mass of Lion (ML) = 169,169 kg

velocity of lion (VL) = 777,377.7 m/s

mass of Gazelle (Mg) = 31,731.7 kg

velocity of Gazelle (Vg) = 63,863.8 kg

mass of Lion and Gazelle (M) = 200,900.7 kg

velocity of Lion and Gazelle (V) = ?

The first figure below shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their direction.

The second diagram shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their directions rearranged to form a right angle triangle.

from the triangle formed we can get the velocity of the Lion and Gazelle immediately after collision using their momentum and Phytaghoras theorem

momentum = mass x velocity

momentum of the Lion = 169,169 x 77,377.3 = 13,089,840,463.7 kgm/s

momentum of the Gazelle = 31,731.7 x 63,863.8 = 2,026,506,942.46 kgm/s

momentum of the Lion and Gazelle = 200,900.7  x V

now applying Phytaghoras theorem we have

13,089,840,463.7 + 2,026,506,942.46 =  200,900.7 x V

15,116,347,406.16 = 200,900.7 x V

V = 75,242.9 m/s

A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover’s truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(a)  104 N

(b) 52 N

Explanation:

Given Data

Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°

F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp

The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.  

The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.

(a)  

Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.  

Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:  

Fx=Fcos30°

Solve for F:  

F= Fx/cos30°  

Substitute for Fx from given data:  

Fx=90 N/cos30°

   =104 N

(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:

     Fy = Fsin 30°

   Substitute for F from part (a):

     Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)  

          = 52 N
