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.

A box with a mass of 100.0 kg slides down a ramp with a 50 degree angle. What is the weight of the box? N What is the value of t
nadya68 [22]

1) weight of the box: 980 N

The weight of the box is given by:

W=mg

where m=100.0 kg is the mass of the box, and g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting in the formula, we find

W=(100.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=980 N


2) Normal force: 630 N

The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the component of the weight which is perpendicular to the ramp, which is given by

N=W cos \theta

where W is the weight of the box, calculated in the previous step, and \theta=50^{\circ} is the angle of the ramp. Substituting, we find

N=(980 N)(cos 50^{\circ})=630 N


3) Acceleration: 7.5 m/s^2

The acceleration of the box along the ramp is equal to the component of the acceleration of gravity parallel to the ramp, which is given by

a_p = g sin \theta

Substituting, we find

W_p = (9.8 m/s^2)(sin 50^{\circ})=7.5 m/s^2

In the equation vx^2=v0x^2+2ax(x-x0) what does the terms vx, v0x, x, and x0 stand for respectively?
tatuchka [14]

B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position

In the equation

v_{x}^{2} = v_{ox}^{2} +2 a x (x - x₀)

v_{x} = velocity at position "x"

v_{ox} = velocity at position "x = 0 "

x = final position

x_{o} = initial position of the object at the start of the motion

A popular ride at some playgrounds consists of two circular disks joined by rungs . The center of the unit is attached to a hori
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

v = 36.667 m/s

Explanation:

Knowing the rotational inertia as

Lₙ = 550 kg * m²

r = 1.0 m

m = 30.0 kg

To determine the minimum speed v must have when she grabs the bottom

Lₙ =  I * ω

I = ¹/₂ * m * r²

I = ¹/₂ * 30.0 kg * 1.0² m

I = 15 kg * m²

Lₙ =  I * ω  ⇒ ω =  Lₙ / I

ω = [ 550 kg * m² /s  ] / ( 15 kg * m² )

ω = 36.667 rad /s

v = ω * r

v = 36.667 m/s

A tennis ball is shot vertically upward in an evacuated chamber inside a tower with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s at time t=0s. W
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

at the highest point of the path the acceleration of ball is same as acceleration due to gravity

Explanation:

At the highest point of the path of the ball the speed of the ball becomes zero as the acceleration due to gravity will decelerate the motion of ball due to which the speed of ball will keep on decreasing and finally it comes to rest

So here we will say that at the highest point of the path the speed of the ball comes to zero

now by the force diagram we can say that net force on the ball due to gravity is given by

F_g = mg

now the acceleration of ball is given as

a = \frac{F_g}{m}

a = \frac{mg}{m} = g

so at the highest point of the path the acceleration of ball is same as acceleration due to gravity

A firecracker is thrown downward from a height of 2.75m above the ground, with a speed of 3.15m/s. Ignore air resistance, determ
3241004551 [841]

Here in this question as we can see there is no air friction so we can use the principle of energy conservation

PE_i + KE_i = PE_f + KE_f

mgh_1 + \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 = mgh_2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

now here we know that

h_1 = 2.75 m

v_i = 0

v_f = 5.23 m/s

now plug in all values in above equation

mg*2.75 + 0 = mgh + \frac{1}{2}m(5.23)^2

divide whole equation by mass "m"

9.8*2.75 = 9.8*h + \frac{1}{2}*27.35

9.8*h = 13.27

h = 1.35 m

so height of the ball from ground will be 1.35 m
