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.

You throw a ball straight down from an apartment balcony to the ground below. The ball has an initial velocity of 5.00m/s, direc
erik [133]
The height of the balcony may be calculated through the equation,
                                h = V₀t + 0.5gt²
where h is the height, V₀ is the initial velocity, g is the gravitational constant and t is time. Substituting the values given above,
                               h = (5 m/s)(2s) + 0.5(10 m/s²)(2 s)²
                                 h  = 30 m
Thus, the height of the balcony is 30 meters.

Why were phonograph records placed on the sides of the two voyager spacecraft launched in the 1970s?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The reason for phonograph installation is to provide information about humans to interstellar aliens.

Explanation:

Phonographs are archaic forms of gramophone which are able to record and reproduce sound.Phonographs were used in early days in voyagers to help transmit information about humans to nearby alien species in space.

Resistance and resistivity are related by a:
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: D

Explanation: Resistance of current in a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the cross - sectional area of the wire. That is,

R = (rho × L)/A

Where

L = length of the wire

A = cross sectional Area of the wire

rho = resistivity = proportionality constant which depends on the quality of the wire.

Therefore, Resistance and resistivity are related by a:

proportionality constant dependent on the identity of the material.
