What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?

1 answer:

7 0

If it's a mechanical wave, then its speed depends on the physical characteristics of the medium.

If it's an electromagnetic wave, then its speed depends on the
electrical characteristics of the medium.

Either way, the properties of the medium determine the wave speed.
You want to change the speed ? You have to change the properties
of the medium.

A uniformly charged solid disk of radius R = 0.45 m carries a uniform charge density of σ = 175 μC/m². A point P is located a di

siniylev [52]

Answer:

1408.685 KN/C

Explanation:

Given:

R = 0.45 m

σ = 175 μC/m²

P is located a distance a = 0.75 m

k = 8.99*10^9

The Electric Field Strength E of a uniformly solid disk of charge at distance a perpendicular to disk is given by:

$E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + R^2} })\\$

part a)

Electric Field strength at point P: a = 0.75 m

$E = 2*pi*8.99*10^9*175*10^-6 * (1 - \frac{0.75}{\sqrt{0.75^2 + 0.45^2} })\\\\E = 9885021.285*(0.1425070743)\\\\E = 1408.685 KN/C$

part b)

Since, R >> a, we can approximate a / R = 0 ,

Hence, E simplified relation becomes:

$E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a/R}{\sqrt{a^2/R^2 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{0}{\sqrt{0 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o$

E = σ / 2*e_o

part c)

Since, a >> R, we can approximate. that the uniform disc of charge becomes a single point charge:

Electric Field strength due to point charge is:

E = k*δ*pi*R^2 / a^2

Since, R << a, Surface area = δ*pi

Hence,

E = (k*δ*pi/a^2)

A bullet of mass m=26g is fired into a wooden block of mass M=4.7kg. The block is attached to a string of length 1.5m. The bulle

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

u = 449 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the bullet, m = 26 g

Mass of the wooden block,M = 4.7 Kg

height of the block,h = 0.31 m

initial speed of the block, u = ?

Using conservation of energy

$(M+ m)gh = \dfrac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2$

$gh = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 0.31}$

v = 2.47 m/s

Now, using conservation of momentum to calculate the speed of the bullet.

m u + M u' = (M+m)v

m u = (M+m)v

0.026 x u = (4.7+0.026) x 2.47

u = 449 m/s

Hence, the speed of the bullet is equal to 449 m/s.

A 8.0-cm long solenoid has 2000 turns of wire and carries a current of 5.0-A. Calculate the strength of the magnetic field at th

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

B = 0.157 T

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the solenoid, l = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Number of turns in the wire, N = 2000

Current, I = 5 A

We need to find the strength of the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid. It is given by the formula as follows :

$N=\mu_o nI$ , N is number of turns per unit length of solenoid.

So,

$B=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \dfrac{2000}{0.08}\times 5\\\\=0.157\ T$

So, the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 0.157 T.
