A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, $y_{m} = 8.4\ cm$

Wavelength, $\lambda = 5.3\ cm$

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

$v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega$

where

$\omega = 2\pi f$ = angular speed of the particle

Thus

$v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}$

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

$v = f\lambda$

Now,

The ratio is given by:

$\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}$

$\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95$

‏A 50 - N x m torque acts on a wheel with a moment of inertia 150 kg x m² . If the wheel starts from rest , how long will it tak

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

t = 6.17 s

Explanation:

For a 1 revolution movement, $\triangle \theta = 2\pi$

Torque, $\tau = 50 Nm$

Moment of Inertia, $I = 150 kg m^2$

If the wheel starts from rest, $w_{0} = 0 rad/s$

The angular displacement of the wheel can be given by the formula:

$\triangle \theta = \omega_0 t + 0.5 \alpha t^2$ ................(1)

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

$\tau = I \alpha\\\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} \\\alpha = 50/150\\\alpha = 0.33 rad/s^2$

To get t, put all necessary parameters into equation (1)

$2\pi = 0(t) + 0.5(0.33)t^2\\2\pi =0.5(0.33)t^2\\t^2 = \frac{4 \pi}{0.33} \\t^2 = 38.08\\t = 6.17 s$

An object has undergone acceleration if ...

-- it's moving faster than it was before
or
-- it's moving slower than it was before
or
-- it's moving in a different direction that it was before.

Why is it sometimes difficult for scientists to identify a a fold or fault?

Sauron [17]

Folds and faults are difficult to identify because they occur in the interior of rocks and also due to the dense nature of the materials.

<h3>What are faults and folds?</h3>

Faults are lines of weakness are present in materials dues to uneven positioning of the particles of the material.

Folds occurs when infolds occur in materials.

Faults and folds usually occur in rocks.

Folds and faults are difficult to identify because they occur internally and also due to the dense nature of the materials.
