To determine the amplitudes of the resultant motion when two sinusoidal waves of the same frequency are combined, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values We have two waves with the following properties: - Amplitude of the first wave, \( a_1 = 3.0 \, \text{cm} \) - Amplitude of the second wave, \( a_2 = 4.0 \, \text{cm} \) - Phase difference, \( \phi = \frac{\pi}{2} \, \text{radians} \) ...
