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.)

The wavelength of the wave is 1.16m and the velocity is 23.64m/s.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the Transverse waves.

<h3>How to find different parameters of a wave?</h3>
  • The displacement of the string as a function of position and time, y(x,t), when the wave traveling along a string lying along the x-axis is given as,

                y(x,t)=0.048sin(5.40x-128t)

  • Comparing this with the general form of wave equation, we get,

               amplitude, a=0.048m\\wave vector, k=5.40\\angular frequency,w=128Hz

  • We have to find the wavelength of the wave, for this, we have the expression as,

                k=\frac{2\pi }{wavelength} \\\\wavelength=\frac{2\pi }{k} =\frac{2*3.14}{5.40} \\\\wavelength=1.16m

  • We have to find the velocity of the wave,

                         v=frequency*wavelength\\2\pi f=w, thus,\\f=\frac{w}{2\pi } =\frac{128}{2*3.14}=20.38s^{-1}\\\\v=1.16*20.38=23.64m/s

Thus, we can conclude that, the wavelength of the wave is 1.16m and the velocity is 23.64m/s

Each tire on a car has a radius of 0.330 m and is rotating with an angular speed of 11.7 revolutions/s. Find the linear speed v
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The linear speed of the car, v, is 24.26 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the car's tire, r = 0.330 m

angular speed of the car, ω = 11.7 revolutions/s

The angular speed of the car in radian per second:

\omega = 11.7 \ \frac{rev}{s} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \\\\\omega = 73.523 \ rad/s

The linear speed of the car, v, is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 73.523 rad/s  x  0.33 m

v = 24.26 m/s

Therefore, the linear speed of the car, v, is 24.26 m/s

An object at rest starts accelerating.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

<u>We are given: </u>

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

displacement (s) = 20 m

acceleration (a) = a m/s/s

<u>Solving for 'a'</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(10)² - (0)² = 2(a)(20)

100 = 40a

a = 100 / 40

a = 2.5 m/s²

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet
nevsk [136]
The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>
