2 - A particle is subjected simultaneously to two SHMs of the same frequency and in the same direction. If their amplitudes are 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm respectively and the phase of the second component relative to the first is 40 ^ 0 find the amplitude of the resultant displacement and its phase relative to the first SHM.

The equation that describes a transverse wave on a string is y = (0.0120 m)sin[(927 rad/s)t - (3.00 rad/m)x] where y is the displacement of a string particle and x is the position of the particle on the string. the wave is traveling in the +x direction. what is the speed v of the wave?

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
