(1) The period of the oscillator is 1 second.

(2) The damping coefficient is 0.93.

<h3>What is period of oscillation?</h3>

The period of oscillation is the time taken to make one complete cycle.

From the graph, the time taken to make one complete oscillation is 1 second.

<h3>Damping coefficient</h3>

equation of the wave is given as;

y(t) = Ae^(-btx) cos(ωt)

3.5 = Ae^(-0) cos(0)

3.5 = A x 1

A = 3.5 cm

-3 = 3.5e^(-bx) cos(ω)

-3/3.5 = e^(-bx) cos(ω)

-0.857 = e^(-bx) cos(ω)

-0.857 / cos(ω) = e^(-bx)

ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] = -bx

ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] / b = - x ---- (1)

-2 = 3.5e^(-2bx) cos(2ω)

-0.57 = e^(-2bx) cos(2ω)

ln[-0.57 / cos(2ω)] = -2bx

ln[-0.57 / cos(2ω)] /2b = - x ------(2)

solve (1) and (2)

ln[-0.57 / cos(2ω)]/2b = ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] /b

-0.57 / cos(ω) = 2(-0.857 / cos(ω))

2(-0.857/cosω) = -0.57/cos2ω

-(2 x 0.857) / (-0.57) = cosω/cos 2ω

3 = cosω/cos 2ω

3(cos 2ω) = cosω

3(2cos²ω - 1) = cos ω

6cos²ω - 6 = cosω

6cos²ω - cosω - 6 = 0

let cosω = y

6y² - y - 6 = 0

solve the quadratic equation;

y = 1.1 or -0.92

cosω = -0.92

ω = arc cos(-0.92)

ω = 2.74 rad/s

From equation (1)

ln[-0.857 / cos(ω)] / x = -b ---- (1)

let x = 1

ln(-0.857/cos(2.74) = -b

-0.93 = -b

b = 0.93

Thus, the damping coefficient is 0.93.

A 70.0-kg person throws a 0.0480-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 33.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 55.0 kg, c

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The final velocity of the thrower is $\bf{3.88~m/s}$ and the final velocity of the catcher is $\bf{0.029~m/s}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the thrower, $m_{t} = 70~Kg$ .

The mass of the catcher, $m_{c} = 55~Kg$ .

The mass of the ball, $m_{b} = 0.0480~Kg$ .

Initial velocity of the thrower, $v_{it} = 3.90~m/s$

Final velocity of the ball, $v_{fb} = 33.5~m/s$

Initial velocity of the catcher, $v_{ic} = 0~m/s$

Consider that the final velocity of the thrower is $v_{ft}$ . From the conservation of momentum,

$&& m_{t}v_{ft} + m_{b}v_{fb} = (m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it} - m_{b}v_{fb}}{m_{t}}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(70 + 0.0480)(3.90) - (0.0480)(33.5)}{70}\\&or,& v_{ft} = 3.88~m/s$

Consider that the final velocity of the catcher is $v_{fc}$ . From the conservation of momentum,

$&& (m_{c} + m_{b})v_{fc} = m_{b}v_{it}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{m_{b}v_{it}}{(m_{c} + m_{b})}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{(0.048)(33.5)}{(55.0 + 0.0480)}\\&or,& v_{fc} = 0.029~m/s$

Thus, the final velocity of thrower is $3.88~m/s$ and that for the catcher is $0.029~m/s$ .

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

wavelength $\lambda$ = 437.27 nm

Explanation:

given data

first bright fringe = 2.96 mm

slit separation = 0.325 mm

distance D = 2.20 m

solution

we know that this is double slit experiment

so we apply here Fringe width formula that is

β = $\frac{D\lambda}{d}$ ....................1

$\lambda$ is Wavelength of light and D is Distance between screen and slit and d is slit width

so put here value and we get

$\lambda$ = $\frac{2.96*0.325*10^{-6}}{2.20}$

$\lambda$ = 437.27 × $10^{-9}$ m

wavelength $\lambda$ = 437.27 nm

How are step up transformers used in the transmission of electrical energy

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of AC currents

Explanation:

A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped at the two sides of a soft iron core. When an AC current is present in the primary coil, it induces a magnetic field inside the core, and the presence of this changing magnetic field induces a voltage (and a current) into the secondary coil.

The voltages in the primary and the secondary coil are related by the transformer equation:

$\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}$

where

Vp, Vs are the voltages in the primary and secondary coil

Np, Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil

There are two types of transformers:

- Step-up transformers: these have $N_s > N_p$ , so that $V_s > V_p$ , which means that they increase the voltage. They are used to increase the voltage of the AC current produced by the power plants, before being sent into the transmission lines.

- Step-down transformers: these have $N_s < N_p$ , so that $V_s < V_p$ , which means that they decrease the voltage. They are used at the end of the transmission lines, before the houses, in order to decrease the voltage and allow the household appliances to work properly (in fact, household appliances need lower voltages to work)
