A 1.50-m string of weight 0.0125 N is tied to the ceil- ing at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Ignore the

very small variation in tension along the length of the string that is produced by the weight of the string. When you pluck the string slightly, the waves traveling up the string obey the equation. Assume that the tension of the string is constant and equal to W.
(a) How much time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string?
(b) What is the weight W?
(c) How many wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time?
(d) What is the equation for waves traveling ?down? the string?

The wave equation is missing and it is y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)

Answer:

A) 0.0534 seconds

B) 0.67N

C) 41

D) (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)

Explanation:

we are given weight of string = 0.0125N

Thus, since weight = mg

Then, mass of string = 0.0125/9.8

Mass of string = 1.275 x 10⁻³ kg

Length of string; L= 1.5 m .

mass per unit length; μ = (1.275 x 10⁻³)/1.5

μ = 0.85 x 10⁻³ kg/m

We are given the wave equation: y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)

Now if we compare it to the general equation of motion of standing wave on a string which is:

y(x,t) = Acos(Kx − ω t)

We can deduce that

angular velocity;ω = 4830 rad/s

Wave number;k = 172 rad/m

A) Velocity is given by the formula;

V = ω/k

Thus, V = 4830/172 m/s

V = 28.08 m /s

Thus time taken to go up the string = 1.5/28.08 = 0.0534 seconds

B) We know that in strings,

V² = F/μ

Where μ is mass per unit length and V is velocity.

Thus, F = V²*μ =28.08² x 0.85 x 10⁻³

F = 0.67N

C) Formula for wave length is given as; wave length;λ = 2π /k

λ = 2 x π/ 172

λ = 0.0365 m

Thus, number of wave lengths over whole length of string

= 1.5/0.0365 = 41

D) The equation for waves traveling down the string

= (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)

True or False? The superposition or overlapping of two waves always results in destructive interference between the different wa
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

False

When two waves overlap or superimpose over each other then they either undergo Constructive or destructive interference.

waves are the disturbance created by a force and add up to gives constructive interference when they are in the same line i.e. in the same phase.

When these disturbances are in the opposite phase then they superimpose to give destructive interference where the amplitude of the resulting wave will be much smaller as compared to original waves.

Urippe Went to start his lawnmower and was having trouble. At the same moment, Uwi was starting her identical lawnmower in the y
Ivan

Answer:

As each mower presumably needs the same torque to start, and torque is a product of force and moment arm, the longer moment arm of 10.42 cm on Uwi's mower means lower force is required when compared to Urippe's shorter moment arm of 1.35 cm

350 rev/min = 350(2π) / 60 = 36.652 rad/s

36.652 rad/s / 0.294 s = 124.66... <u>125 rad/s²</u>

a = αR = 125(0.1042) = 12.990... <u>13 m/s²</u>

a =  αR = 125(0.0135) = 1.68299... <u>1.7 m/s²</u>

I am GUESSING that we are supposed to model these mowers as a uniform disk

  τ = Iα

FR = (½mr²)α

  F = mr²α/2R

Urippe's pull  = (3.56)(0.2041²)(124.66) / (2(0.0135)) = 702.008... <u>702 N</u>

Usi's pull =        (3.56)(0.2041²)(124.66) / (2(0.1042)) = 90.9511...<u>91.0 N</u>

L = Iω = (½(3.56)(0.2041²))36.652 = 2.71771...<u>2.72 kg•m²/s  down</u>

In order to create an electromagnet, you would ?
Yakvenalex [24]
In order to create an electromagnet, you would wrap an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and apply electric current. Magnetic fields are made when entirely the electrons are turning in the same direction either as a natural phenomenon, in an artificially created magnet or when they are persuaded to do so by an electromagnetic field.
