    Amplitude at the point of interference

    Homework Statement [/B] Consider 2 radio antennas placed on a 2 dimensional grid at points x1 = (300,0) and x2 = (-300, 0). If the antennas are out of phase such that ϕ2-ϕ1 = π/4 and both are emitting waves of frequency 2.59 MHz. What will the amplitude of the resultant wave be at the point...

    Wave speed on a string of non-uniform linear mass density

    Homework Statement [/B] Consider a long chain of mass m and length L suspended from a tall ceiling. Like any string if one end is disturbed waves will travel along the string. However, the tension in the string is due to its own weight and is not uniform. As such the speed of the wave will be...

    Finding maximum speed (known: Force output, drag, time)

    Guessing that you are alluding to Newton's first law of motion. An external force must act upon an object to change its acceleration vector from zero. In this case the motor is the external force. From there I move to Newton's second law of motion which states "The acceleration of an object as...

    Finding maximum speed (known: Force output, drag, time)

    1. In general, dense fluids (such as water) produce a drag force that is directly proportional to the speed of an object moving through them. Suppose a boat is moving through the water and experiencing a fluid drag force of F=-8 v. Suppose the boat has a motor which can output up to 450 Newtons...
