(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.

According to one set of measurements, the tensile strength of hair is 196 MPa , which produces a maximum strain of 0.380 in the
slega [8]

Answer:

(a). The magnitude of the force is 0.38416 N.

(b). The original length is 0.0869 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Tensile strength = 196 MPa

Maximum strain = 0.380

Diameter = 50.0 μm

Length = 12.0 cm

We need to calculate the area

Using formula of area

A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times d^2

Put the value into the formula

A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times(50.0\times10^{-6})^2

A=1.96\times10^{-9}\ m^2

We need to calculate the magnitude of the force

Using formula of force

F=\sigma A

Put the value into the formula

F=196\times10^{6}\times1.96\times10^{-9}

F=0.38416\ N

(b). If the length of a strand of the hair is 12.0 cm at its breaking point

We need to calculate the unstressed length

Using formula of strain

strain=\dfrac{\Delta l}{l_{0}}

\Delta l=strain\times l_{0}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta l=0.380\times l_{0}

Length after expansion is 12 cm

We need to calculate the original length

Using formula of length

l=l_{0}+\Delta l

Put the value into the formula

I=l_{0}+0.380\times l_{0}

l=1.38l_{0}

l_{0}=\dfrac{l}{1.38}

l_{0}=\dfrac{12\times10^{-2}}{1.38}

l_{0}=0.0869\ m

Hence, (a). The magnitude of the force is 0.38416 N.

(b). The original length is 0.0869 m.

16x^2y^2-25a^2b^2<br>factorize the expression​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

(4xy+5ab)(4xy-5ab)

Explanation:

16x^{2}y^{2}-25a^{2}b^{2}

4^2 is 16 and 5^2 is 25,

Also, (x-a)(x+a) = x^2-a^2

So, this factorized is:

(4xy+5ab)(4xy-5ab)

Hope this helps!

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant acceleration 58.8m/s2 . The accel
Zanzabum
Split the operation in two parts. Part A) constant acceleration 58.8m/s^2, Part B) free fall.

Part A)
Height reached, y = a*[t^2] / 2 = 58.8 m/s^2 * [7.00 s]^2 / 2 = 1440.6 m

Now you need the final speed to use it as initial speed of the next part.

Vf = Vo + at = 0 + 58.8m/s^2 * 7.00 s = 411.6 m/s

Part B) Free fall

Maximum height, y max ==> Vf = 0

Vf = Vo - gt ==> t = [Vo - Vf]/g = 411.6 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 42 s

ymax = yo + Vo*t - g[t^2] / 2

ymax = 1440.6 m + 411.6m/s * 42 s - 9.8m/s^2 * [42s]^2 /2
ymax = 1440.6 m + 17287.2m - 8643.6m = 10084.2 m

Answer: ymax = 10084.2m
