Most directly on equador and least directly at poluses
Frequency of a sound wave is commonly referred to as pitch. That is the specialized name for frequency of a sound wave.
Just remember it as pitch.
Answer:
a) A = 4.0 m
, b) w = 3.0 rad / s
, c) f = 0.477 Hz
, d) T = 20.94 s
Explanation:
The equation that describes the oscillatory motion is
x = A cos (wt + fi)
In the exercise we are told that the expression is
x = 4.0 cos (3.0 t + 0.10)
let's answer the different questions
a) the amplitude is
A = 4.0 m
b) the frequency or angular velocity
w = 3.0 rad / s
c) angular velocity and frequency are related
w = 2π f
f = w / 2π
f = 3 / 2π
f = 0.477 Hz
d) the period
frequency and period are related
T = 1 / f
T = 1 / 0.477
T = 20.94 s
e) the phase constant
Ф = 0.10 rad
f) velocity is defined by
v = dx / dt
v = - A w sin (wt + Ф)
speed is maximum when sine is + -1
v = A w
v = 4 3
v = 12 m / s
g) the angular velocity is
w² = k / m
k = m w²
k = 1.2 3²
k = 10.8 N / m
h) the total energy of the oscillator is
Em = ½ k A²
Em = ½ 10.8 4²
Em = 43.2 J
i) the potential energy is
Ke = ½ k x²
for t = 0 x = 4 cos (0 + 0.1)
x = 3.98 m
j) kinetic energy
K = ½ m v²
for t = 00.1
²
v = A w sin 0.10
v = 4 3 sin 0.10
v = 1.98 m / s
This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:
D = 1/2 A T²
Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)
The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often. You really should memorize it. And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)
The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth. Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .
In 5 seconds:
D = 1/2 A T²
D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²
D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)
D = 122.5 meters
In 6 seconds:
D = 1/2 A T²
D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²
D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)
D = 176 meters
I do not know what the school expects as an answer, but advantage of reflecting telescopes is that there is only one major reflecting surface, so it is quite easy to create a 6 or 8 inch telescope by an amateur, after adding on a prism and an eyepiece. (a microscope eyepiece could be used).
MY answer would be "easier to build". (it still takes tens of hours to grind and polish the single plane surface to a parabolic surface).
Electromagnetic waves all have the same velocity in the same medium. However, since frequencies vary widely, so do wavelengths.
