The wavelength of a standing wave is 8.13 m.

<h3>What is a wavelength?</h3>

The distance between two successive troughs or crests is known as the wavelength. The peak of the wave is the highest point, while the trough is the lowest.

The wavelength is also defined as the distance between two locations in a wave that have the same oscillation phase.

The given data in the problem is;

String length(L)= 48.8 metere

Wavelength(λ)=?

The length of the wave having n nodes is found as;

L=nλ

Substitute the given value;

48.8 = 6λ

λ= 8.13 m

Hence, the wavelength of a standing wave is 8.13 m.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

a) The equation is $(m_{b}+m_{c} )u_{b} = (m_{y}+m_{c} )v_{y} + (m_{b}+m_{c} )v_{b}$

b) Your velocity after collision is 2.64 m/s

c) The force you felt is 7392 N

d) you and your brother undergo an equal amount of acceleration

Explanation:

Your mass $m_{y}$ = 60 kg

your brother's mass $m_{b}$ = 30 kg

mass of the car $m_{c}$ = 80 kg

your initial speed $u_{y}$ = 0 m/s (since you've not started moving yet)

your brother's initial velocity $u_{b}$ = 3 m/s

your final speed $v_{y}$ after collision = ?

your brother's final speed $v_{b}$ after collision = ?

a) equations you need to use to figure out how fast you and your brother are moving after the collision is

$(m_{y}+m_{c} )u_{y} + (m_{b}+m_{c} )u_{b} = (m_{y}+m_{c} )v_{y} + (m_{b}+m_{c} )v_{b}$

but $u_{y}$ = 0 m/s

the equation reduces to

$(m_{b}+m_{c} )u_{b} = (m_{y}+m_{c} )v_{y} + (m_{b}+m_{c} )v_{b}$

b) if your little brother reverses with velocity of 0.36 m/s it means

$v_{b}$ = -0.36 m/s (the reverse means it travels in the opposite direction)

then, imputing values into the equation, we'll have

$(m_{b}+m_{c} )u_{b} = (m_{y}+m_{c} )v_{y} + (m_{b}+m_{c} )v_{b}$

(30 + 80)3 = (60 + 80) $v_{y}$ + (30 + 80)(-0.36)

330 = 140 $v_{y}$ - 39.6

369.6 = 140 $v_{y}$

$v_{y}$ = 369.6/140 = 2.64 m/s

This means you will also reverse with a velocity of 2.64 m/s

c) your initial momentum = 0 since you started from rest

your final momentum = (total mass) x (final velocity)

==> (60 + 80) x 2.64 = 369.6 kg-m/s

If the collision lasted for 0.05 s,

then force exerted on you = (change in momentum) ÷ (time collision lasted)

force on you = ( 369.6 - 0) ÷ 0.05 = 7392 N

d) you changed velocity from 0 m/s to 2.64 m/s in 0.05 s

your acceleration is (2.64 - 0)/0.05 = 52.8 m/s^2

your brother changed velocity from 3 m/s to 0.36 m/s in 0.05 s

his deceleration is (3 - 0.36)/0.05 = 52.8 m/s

you and your brother undergo an equal amount of acceleration. This is because you gained the momentum your brother lost

Technician A says that the crankshaft determines the stroke of an engine. Technician B says that the length of the connecting ro

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Technician A is correct.

Explanation:

Stroke of the engine means how far is the piston moves during the cycle.It is determined by the crank of the crank shaft. Engine displacement volume is calculated by multiplying length of the stroke to the piston displacement area.

If there are more than one cylinder in the engine, than in that case this number in multiplied by the number of the cylinders inside the engine.

Therefore technician A is correct.
