Two forces of 4N and 10N act on a body. Which of the following could not be the resultant magnitude? (14N, 7N, 6N, 3N)

My first thought when dealing with resultant forces is to try out the most common combinations: combined and opposite. In this case 10N + 4N = 14N and 10N - 4N = 6N. This tactic does rule out two of the a...

How can we explain the standing waves on a string?

When a wave reaches the end of a string, it is reflected and inverted, so in a fixed string in which we've caused vibrations, such as a guitar string, we have two sinusoidal waves travelling in opposite d...

How do I find the x and y components of a vector?

If you've been given the angle the vector makes with an axis, you can find the component of the vector parallel to that axis by multiplying the size of the vector by the cosine of the angle it makes with ...

Explain why an object moving around a circle is said to be accelerating when it has no resultant force acting upon it.

If an object has no resultant force acting upon it then it is moving at a constant speed. Acceleration is a vector quantity meaning that it includes magnitude and direction. When it is moving around a cir...

State the principle of superposition of waves and illustrate it schematically.

Whenever two or more waves travelling through the same medium at the same time pass through each other, the net displacement of the medium at any point in space-time is simply given by the sum of the indi...
