Answer:

The wave is traveling in the +x direction.

Explanation:

The equation of a wave is given by the formula as :

$y(x,t)=A\ sin(kx-\omega t)$

Here,

A is the amplitude of wave

$(kx-\omega t)$ is the phase of wave

$\omega$ is the angular frequency of the wave

We need to find the correct statement out of given options. The given equation can be rewritten as :

$y(x,t)=A\ sin(\omega t-kx)$

Here, the propagation constant is negative. So, the wave is moving in +x direction. Hence, the correct option is (a).

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

(a) $E_{ c} = 112.5 \mu J$

(b) $E'_{ c} = 18 \mu J$

Solution:

According to the question:

Capacitance, C = $1.00\mu F = 1.00\times 10^{- 6} F$

Voltage of the battery, $V_{b} = 15.0 V$

(a)The Energy stored in the Capacitor is given by:

$E_{c} = \frac{1}{2}CV_{b}^{2}$

$E_{c} = \frac{1}{2}\times 1.00\times 10^{- 6}\times 15.0^{2}$

$E_{ c} = 112.5 \mu J$

(b) When the voltage of the battery is 6.00 V, the the energy stored in the capacitor is given by:

$E'_{c} = \frac{1}{2}CV'_{b}^{2}$

$E'_{c} = \frac{1}{2}\times 1.00\times 10^{- 6}\times 6.0^{2}$

$E'_{ c} = 18 \mu J$

Answer:

Explanation:

a). Find the graph attached for the motion.

b). If a shopper walk 5.4 m westwards then 7.8 m eastwards,

Distance traveled by the shopper = Distance traveled in eastwards + Distance traveled westwards

= 5.4 + 7.8

= 13.2 m

c). Displacement of the shopper = Distance walked westwards - Distance traveled eastwards

= 5.4 - 7.8

= -2.4 m

Therefore, magnitude of the displacement of the shopper is = 2.4 m

And the direction of the displacement is eastwards.

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

0.29713 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity

r = Radius = 18 mm

By balancing the forces in the system we have

$mg-N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow mg-\dfrac{mg}{2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{r(g-\dfrac{g}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.018\times (9.81-\dfrac{9.81}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=0.29713\ m/s$

The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s
