1
Q
What is the principle of superposition of waves?
A
Superposition of waves is the addition of the displacements of multiple waves at a point to form a new wave with the resultant displacement
2
Q
WHAT IS STOPPING DISTANCE?
A
Thinking distance + braking distance,
NOT JUST BRAKING DISTANCE!
3
Q
How do springs in series add?
A
1/Kt = 1/K1 + 1/K2
Opposite to resistors
4
Q
How do springs in parallel add?
A
Kt = K1 + K2
5
Q
What must you always consider in questions regarding upthrust?
A
Net force = upthrust - weight,
not just upthrust
