Answer:

Approximately 5.9\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} (assuming that the partner is holding the other end of the coil stationary.)

Explanation:

In a standing wave, an antinode is a point that moves with maximal amplitude, while a node is a point that does not move at all. There is an antinode between every two adjacent nodes. Likewise, there is a node between every two adjacent antinodes.

The side of the spring that is being shaken moving with maximal amplitude. Hence, that point on this spring would also be an antinode. In contrast, the side of the spring that is held still (does not move at all) would be a node.

There would be a node between:

  • the antinode at the end of the spring that is being shaken, and
  • the antinode between the two ends of this spring.

Overall, the nodes and antinodes on this spring would be:

  • node at the end that is being held still,
  • antinode (as mentioned in the question),
  • node (inferred, not mentioned in the question), and
  • antinode at the end that is being shaken.

The distance between two adjacent nodes is equal to one-half (that is, (1/2)) the wavelength of the wave. The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is one-quarter (that is, (1/4)) of the wavelength of the wave.

Thus, if the wavelength of the wave in this question is \lambda, the length of this spring would be:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \lambda + \frac{1}{4}\, \lambda = \frac{3}{4}\, \lambda.

The question states that the length of this coiled spring is 7.2\; {\rm m}. In other words, (3/4) \, \lambda = 7.2\; {\rm m}. The wavelength of this wave would be (7.2\; {\rm m}) / (3/4) = 9.6\; {\rm m}.

The frequency f of this wave is the number of cycles in unit time:

\begin{aligned} f &= \frac{10}{16.3\; {\rm s}} \approx 0.613\; {\rm s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Hence, the speed v of this wave would be:

\begin{aligned} v &= \lambda\, f \\ &=9.6\; {\rm m} \times 0.613\; {\rm s^{-1}} \\ &\approx 5.9\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

A coin of mass m rests on a turntable a distance r from the axis of rotation. The turntable rotates with a frequency of f. What
Crank

Answer:

\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the coin

Normal force in the upward direction balances the weight of the coin, hence

N = mg

f = frequency of rotation

Angular velocity of turntable is hence given as

w = 2\pi f

r = distance from the axis of rotation

\mu = minimum coefficient of static friction

static frictional force is given as

f = \mu N\\f = \mu mg

The  static frictional force provides the necessary centripetal force , hence

Centripetal force = Static frictional force

m r w^{2} = \mu mg\\r w^{2} = \mu g\\\\\mu = \frac{r w^{2}}{g} \\\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

A car's velocity as a function of time is given by vx(t)=α+βt2, where α=3.00m/s and β=0.100m/s3.
Mice21 [21]

1) Analyze the equation

Vₓ = α + β t²

Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 t²

That is a quadratic equation, so the graph is a parabola.

2) Therefore, take into account that the main points to draw a parabola are:

i) vertex

ii) concavity

iii) y-intercepts

iv) x - intercepts

Also, for all graphs you need the domain and the range.

3) Find the y-intercept (t = 0)

t = 0 ⇒ Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 3.00

4) Find the x-intercepts (Vₓ = 0)

Vₓ = 0 ⇒ 0 = 3.00 + 0.100 t²

⇒ t² = - 3.00 / 0.100 = -30.0. Since t² cannot be negative, there is not x-intercepts.

5) Concavity

Since, the coefficient of t² is positive, the parabola open upwards.

6) Vertex

It is the local minimum of the equation. You can find it by the first derivative

Vₓ' = 2×0.100 t = 0 ⇒ t = 0

Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 3.00 m/s

⇒ vertex = (0,3.00)

7) The domain is given t ∈ [0,5.00]

8) You can also build a table with several points in the domain

t =0; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 0

t = 1; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (1)² = 3.10

t = 2; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (2)² = 3.40

t = 3; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (3)² = 3.90

t = 4; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (4)² = 4.60

t = 5; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (5)² = 5.50

9) Range: Vₓ ∈ [ 3.00, 5.50]

10) All that information permits you to put several points in a coordinate sysment and sketch the same graph as the shown in the figure attached.

a horse moves a sleigh 1.00 kilometers by applying a horizontal 2000 Newton force on its harness for 45 minutes. what is the pow
tatyana61 [14]
--  If 2,000 newtons of force were applied through a distance of 1,000 meters,
then 2,000,000 newton-meters = 2,000,000 joules of work were done.

-- 45 minutes = (45 x 60) = 2,700 seconds

-- Power = (work) / (time) = (2,000,000 j) / (2,700 s) = <u>740.74 watts</u>

Interestingly, that's almost exactly 1 horsepower.  (0.99295... of 746 watts)

omeli [17]

Answer:The central spot becomes Dark

Explanation: it become dark because as the wavelength reduces,the velocity in the detector decreases, this time by 90degrees
