A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave function

Physics

The acceleration of the given wave is 2.5m/s^2

<h3>Wave property</h3>

The standard wave function is expressed according to the equation

y = Asin(2πft+2πx/λ)

where

λ is the wave length

Given the equation below

y = 0.120 sin((π/8)x + 4πt)

Compare both equation to have:

(π/8)x = 2πx/λ

8 = 2/λ

λ = 2/8

λ = 1/4

λ = 0.25m

For the frequency

Compare both equation to have:

4πt = 2πft

4 = 2f

4/2 = 2f/2

f = 2 Hz

Speed = fλ

speed = 2(0.25)

speed = 0.5m/s

Determine the acceleration

acceleration = change in velocity/time

acceleration = 0.5/ 0.200

acceleration = 2.5m/s^2

Hence the acceleration of the given wave is2.5m/s^2

Answer:

-4.5 m/s

Explanation:

Even without doing calculations, we know that a projectile has the same speed coming down as it did going up at the same height.  Since it went up at 4.5 m/s, it returns down at -4.5 m/s.

To prove it with math, use the given information:

v₀ = 4.5 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Δy = 0 m

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (4.5 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (0 m)

v = -4.5 m/s

A 100 sprinter starts from rest and final velocity of 18.8m/s what is the sprinter average acceleration if takes him 10.6 s to r
AlladinOne [14]

Answer: 1.77 m/s²

Explanation: acceleration is expressed in:

a= ∆v / t = vf-vi/t

a= 18.8 m/s - 0 / 10.6 s

a= 1.77 m/s²
