Consider a traveling wave described by the formula

Physics

1 answer:

Harrizon [31]3 years ago

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).

Answer:

The time for the cake to cool off to room temperature is

approximately 30 minutes.

Let $T_{0}$ = $70^{0}$ F be the temperature and T that of the body

Explanation:

Our Tm = 70, the initial-value problem is

$\frac{DT}{dt}$ = k(T − 70), T(0) = 300

Solving the equation, we get

$\frac{DT}{t-70}$ = kdt

In [T-70]= kt + $C_{1}$

T = 70 + $C_{2}$ $e^{kt}$

Finding he value for $C_{2}$ using the initial value of T (0)= 300, therefore we get:

300=70+ $C_{2}$

$C_{2}$ = 230 therefore

T= 70+ 230 $e^{kt}$

Finding the value for k using T (3) = 200, therefore we get

T (3) = 200

$e^{3k}$ = $\frac{13}{23}$

K = $\frac{1}{3}$ in $\frac{13}{23}$

= -0.19018

Therefore

T(t) = 70+230 $e^{-0.19018}$

How much physical activity do adults need

Irina18 [472]

For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines: Aerobic activity. Get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity. You also can do a combination of moderate and vigorous activity.

You can enter compound units that are combinations of other units that are multiplied together.Torque can be calculated by multi

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

3.0 x 10¹ Nm

Explanation:

Torque = F x r

Where F is force applied and r is perpendicular distance from pivot point . r

is also called lever arm

Here F = 15 N and r = 2.0 m

Torque

= 15 N X 2.0 m

= 3.0 10¹ Nm.

A 25 n object requires a 5.0 n to start moving over a horizontal surface. what is the coefficient of static friction?

olganol [36]

Static friction is the friction that exists between two or more solids that are not moving with a relative speed. To calculate the static friction coefficient we use the formula Fs=us × n where Fs is the static friction , us is the coefficient of static friction and the n is the normal force.
thus the coefficient of static friction will be 5 N÷ 25 N = 0.2
Hence 0.2 is the coefficient of static friction
