engineers who design battery operated devices suck as sell phones and MP3 players try to make them as efficient as possible. An

ICE Princess25 [194]

If the 5,500 J of sound and light is the ONLY useful output
from the phone, then the phone's efficiency is

(5,500J / 10,000J) = 0.55 = 55% .

But the test engineer forgot one little minor almost insignificant detail.
As a test engineer myself, I'd say that he needs to turn in his laptop
and soldering iron, and think about changing his career to a job for
which he may be better suited, like 8 hours a day in a highway toll-booth.

What about that little radio transmitter and receiver inside the phone,
that maintain digital RF communication with the nearest cell tower ?
Without that microscopic radio transceiver ... plus 30 or 40 apps
that are always running unless you shut them off ... the device in your
pocket is essentially a flat rock with one side that sometimes glows.

(a) Write an equation describing a sinusoidal transverse wave traveling on a cord in the positive of a y axis with an angular wa

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Missing data: the wave number

$k=60 cm^{-1}$

(a) $z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)$

For a transverse wave travelling in the positive y-direction and with vibration along the z-direction, the equation of the wave is

$z = A sin (ky-\omega t)$

where

A is the amplitude of the wave

k is the wave number

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

t is the time

In this situation:

A = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m is the amplitude

$k = 60 cm^{-1} = 6000 m^{-1}$ is the wave number

$T = 0.20 s$ is the period, so the angular frequency is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.20}=31.4 rad/s$

So, the wave equation (in meters) is

$z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)$

(b) 0.094 m/s

For a transverse wave, the transverse speed is equal to the derivative of the displacement of the wave, so in this case:

$v_t = z' = -A \omega cos (ky-\omega t)$

So the maximum transverse wave occurs when the cosine term is equal to 1, therefore the maximum transverse speed must be

$v_{t}_{max} =\omega A$

where

$\omega = 31.4 rad/s\\A = 0.003 m$

Substituting,

$v_{t}_{max}=(31.4)(0.003)=0.094 m/s$

(c) 5.24 mm/s

The wave speed is given by

$v=f \lambda$

where

f is the frequency of the wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

The frequency can be found from the angular frequency:

$f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{31.4}{2\pi}=5 Hz$

While the wavelength can be found from the wave number:

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{6000}=1.05\cdot 10^{-3} m$

Therefore, the wave speed is

$v=(5)(1.05\cdot 10^{-3} )=5.24 \cdot 10^{-3} m/s = 5.24 mm/s$
