A transverse mechanical wave is traveling along a string lying along the x-axis. The displacement of the string as a function of

position and time, y(x,t), is described by the following equation:
y(x,t)=0.0480×sin(5.40x-128t)
where x and y are in meters and the time is in seconds.
1. What is the wavelength of the wave?
2. What is the velocity of the wave? (Define positive velocity along the positive x-axis.)
3. What is the maximum speed in the y-direction of any piece of the string? (Give a positive answer for speed.)

(1) The wavelength of the wave is 1.164 m.

(2) The  velocity of the wave is 23.7 m/s.

(3) The maximum speed in the y-direction of any piece of the string is 6.14 m/s.

<h3> Wavelength of the wave</h3>

A general wave equation is given as;

y(x, t) = A sin(Kx - ωt)

<h3>Velocity of the wave</h3>

v = ω/K

From the given wave equation, we have,

y(x, t) = 0.048 sin(5.4x - 128t)

v = ω/K

where;

  • ω corresponds to 128
  • k corresponds to 5.4

v = 128/5.4

v = 23.7 m/s

<h3>Wavelength of the wave</h3>

λ = 2π/K

λ = (2π)/(5.4)

λ = 1.164 m

<h3>Maximum speed of the wave</h3>

v(max) = Aω

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • ω is angular speed of the wave

v(max) = (0.048)(128)

v(max) = 6.14 m/s

Thus, the wavelength of the wave is 1.164 m.

The  velocity of the wave is 23.7 m/s.

The maximum speed in the y-direction of any piece of the string is 6.14 m/s.

Bright white shadings on infrared images indicate cloud tops that have relatively ________ temperatures
Maru [420]
Infrared is created by detecting the produced radiation coming off of clouds. The temperature of the cloud will define the wavelength of radiation produced from the cloud. The benefit of the infrared imagery is that can be used day and night to conclude the temperature of the cloud tops and earth surface structures and to get the general idea of how clouds are. Based on the general guidelines to define cloud features, if the cloud is bright white on infrared then it is a high cloud or has a cloud top that is developed high into the troposphere. In this way infrared images actually display patterns of temperature on a gray scale such that at one extreme dark gray is warm and at the other extreme bright white is cold. A color scale is used to portray temperature and some improved infrared images show two or more gray scale sequences. High cold clouds are brighter white than low warm clouds.

You are on a 4 m high ladder and throw a ball upwards at 12 m/s. It lands on the ground below the ladder.
Gelneren [198K]

a) 2.75 s

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by the equation

y= h+ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4 m is the initial height of the ball

u = 12 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball (upward)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

We can find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground by substituting y=0 into the equation:

0 = 4 + 12t - 4.9 t^2

This is a second-order equation. By solving it for t, we find:

t = -0.30 s

t = 2.75 s

The first solution is negative, so we discard it; the second solution, t = 2.75 s, is the one we are looking for.

b) -15.0 m/s (downward)

The final velocity of the ball can be calculated by using the equation:

v=u-gt

where

u = 12 m/s is the initial (upward) velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

t is the time

By subsisuting t = 2.75 s, we find the velocity of the ball as it reaches the ground:

v=12 -(9.8)(2.75)=-15.0 m/s

And the negative sign means the direction is downward.

A body of volume 2000 cm3 has a mass 4 kg. Find the density of the body. Will the body sink or float in water, if the density of
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

2 g/cm^3, it will sink

Explanation:

The density of an object is given by

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

For the body in the problem, we have

m = 4 kg = 4000 g

V=2000 cm^3

Therefore, its density is

d=\frac{4000}{2000}=2 g/cm^3

And the object will sink in water, because its density is larger than that of water, which is 1 g/cm^3. (an object sinks when its density is larger than that of water, otherwise it floats).
