(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.

An electron in a television tube is accelerated uniformly from rest to a speed of 8.4\times 10^7~\text{m/s}8.4×10 ​7 ​​ m/s over
stich3 [128]

Answer:

P=3.42×10^-6 J/s

Explanation:

From the kinematics of motion with constant acceleration we know that :  

vf^2=vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

Where :

• vf , vi, are the the final and the initial velocity of the electron  

• a is the acceleration of the electron  

• xf , xi are the final and the initial position of the electron .

Strategy for solving the problem : at first from the given information we calculate the acceleration of the electron.  

Givens: vf = 8.4 x 10^7 m/s , vi, = 0 m/s , xf = 0.025 m and xi = 0 m  

vf^2 =vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

vf^2-vi^2=2*a(xf-xi)

2*a(xf-xi)= vf^2-vi^2

          a = (vf^2-vi^2)/2(xf-xi)

Pluging known information to get :

a = (vf^2-vi^2)/2(xf-xi)

  = 1.411 × 10^17

From the acceleration and the previous Eq. we can calculate the final velocity of the electron but a new position xf = 0.01 m  

so,

vf^2 =vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

vf^2 =5.312× 10^7

From the following Eq. we can calculate the time elapsed in this motion .  

xf =xi+vi*t+1/2*a*t

xf =xi+vi*t+1/2*a*t

  t=√2(xf-xi)/a

 t=3.765×10^-10 s

now we can use the power P Eq.  

 P=W/Δt => ΔK/Δt  

Where: the work done W change the kinetic energy K of the electron ,

ΔK=Kf-Ki=>1/2*m*vf^2-1/2*m*vi^2

P=1/2*m*vf^2-1/2*m*vi^2/Δt

P=3.42×10^-6 J/s

Why do the waves have different speeds in different layers of Earth's surface?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Material's density

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel at different rates of speed based on a material's density. Hopefully, you understand that the Earth has three main layers: the crust, mantle, and core. Earthquake waves move faster through solids.
