cz apparently we havent solved those :/
btw can u help out? when do we use 1/2 kx^2 and when do we use 1/2 fx?

They are the same thing, F is just replaced with kx in the first equation.. I think it just depends on what data is given to you, no?

At O a maximum is observed. Now, u r moving the detector up to X. A MINIMUM is observed at X since the question says no signal is detected here. So what do we know? At minima, the path difference of two waves falling on a point is (n+ 1/2)*lambda, where n is the number of orders of dark fringes. So at X, n=0 so path difference is 1/2*lambda. Hope it helped, dudette (I believe ;) )

in elastic collisions kinetic energy is always conserved
so, the sum of velocity b4 collision must equal that after collision
that means
u1+v1=u2+v2
but at the same time you need to keep a reference direction
lets say towards the right is positive
so the eqn for this case will be ux+(-vx)=(-uy) + vy
now you can simply rearrange to get the correct answer that is A

hope its clear now

i have a qn related to this....shouldn't the eqn therefore be:
ux - uy = vy - ux
since total velocity BEFORE collision has to equal total velocity AFTER collision:unsure:

reposting my qn...urgent assistance required....thanx!
Click to expand...
Relative speed of approach = relative speed of departure
Ua - Ub = Vb - Va

then according to da directions v put da signs lyk:
(+ Ua) - (- Ub) = (+ Vb) - (+ Va)

so finally v get:
Ua + Ub = Vb - Va
i think this correct i dunno

i sorry i didnt get the eqn that u have mentioned
the equation that i have mentioned is correct and u can simply rearrange the eqn that i wrote in the post n the final answer will be
ux+uy=vx+vy
