(1) The wavelength of the wave is 1.57 m.

(2) The velocity of the wave is 30 m/s .

(3) The frequency of the wave is 19.10 Hz and the time period of the    wave is 0.052 s.

Note: The given equation seems to be incomplete. Most probably the equation was y=25sin(120t-4x). And the standard system of units (i.e. kg, m, s) is used.

Wavelength: The distance between the consecutive crest or trough of a wave is called the wavelength of a wave.

The equation of a plane wave oscillating in the y direction and traveling in the x direction is given by the equation,

y=A sin(ωt-kx)

where y is the displacement along the y direction, A is the amplitude of the wave, ω is the angular frequency, t is the time, x is the displacement along the x direction, and k is the wave constant.

The given equation is,

y=25sin(120t-4x)

Comparing this equation with the above equation, following values are obtained.

k= 4 m^(-1)

ω =120 rad/s

A=25

The wavelength λ is given by the formula,

λ=2π/k

Here k = 4 m^(-1), so

λ=2π/4

λ=1.57 m.

Velocity: The velocity of a wave is the product of the frequency and the wavelength.

The velocity v is given by the formula,

v=ω*λ/2π

Here ω=120 rad/s and λ=1.57 m, so

v=120*1.57/2π

v=30 m/s

Frequency: The number of oscillations completed in one second is called the frequency of a wave.

The formula of the frequency is,

f=v/λ

Here v=30 m/s and λ=1.57 m, so

f=30/1.57

f=19.10 Hz

Time period: The time taken to complete one cycle of oscillation is called the time period of oscillation.

The formula to calculate the time period T is,

T=2π/ω

Here ω=120 rad/s, so

T=2π/120

T=0.052 s.

Amy is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward; and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westw
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

20 m/s westward

Explanation:

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B = +5 m/s is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_C = -15 m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B = +5 m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_C' = v_C - v_B = -15 m/s - (+5 m/s) = -20 m/s

and the direction will be westward (negative sign).

A 2.0 m × 4.0 m flat carpet acquires a uniformly distributed charge of −10 μC after you and your friends walk across it several
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The  charge on the dust particle is  q_d  = 6.94 *10^{-13} \  C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length is  l = 2.0 \ m

    The width is  w = 4.0 \ m

   The charge is  q =  -10\mu C= -10*10^{-6} \ C

    The mass suspended in mid-air is m_a =  5.0 \mu g =  5.0 *10^{-6} \ g =  5.0 *10^{-9} \  kg

   

Generally the electric field on the carpet is mathematically represented as

           E =  \frac{q}{ 2 *  A  *  \epsilon _o}

Where \epsilon _o is the permittivity of free space with value \epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12}  \ \  m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot  s^4 \cdot A^2

substituting values

           E =  \frac{-10*10^{-6}}{ 2 *  (2 * 4 )  *  8.85*10^{-12}}

           E = -70621.5 \  N/C

Generally the electric force keeping the dust particle on the air  equal to the force of gravity acting on the particles

        F__{E}} =  F__{G}}

=>     q_d *  E  =  m * g

=>      q_d  =  \frac{m * g}{E}

=>      q_d  =  \frac{5.0 *10^{-9} * 9.8}{70621.5}

=>     q_d  = 6.94 *10^{-13} \  C

What is the least amount of time required for a given point on this wave to move from y = 0 to y = 12cm?
ale4655 [162]

Time t = ?

<span>When wave is moving from y = 0  to y =12 cm</span>

By using the formula,

y = 15cos [(π/12) t)] = 0,

cos [(π/12) t)] = 0 = cos (π/2), so, 

(π/12)t = π/2,

t = (π/2) (12/π) 

t = 12/2

<span>t = 6 sec</span>

<span>so 6 sec is the least amount of time required</span>

what do scientific models predict will happen to Earths oceans if current trends continue unmitigated?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

I think that the answer is "Coral bleaching will continue to harm aquatic organisms.

Explanation:

Global warming causes the ocean temperatures to rise and also its pH to decrease due to increased dissolved carbon dioxide in the waters.

Due to the unfavorable temperatures and pH, the algae dissociate from the symbiotic relationship with coral polyps (as a survival mechanism) hence leaving the coral white (coral bleaching).

The symbiotic relationship is key for the survival of the coral polyps hence most die following the dissociation.

This upsets the reef ecosystem and affects all aquatic organisms that depend on the reef.
