Consider the minute hand on a clock. (a) Compute the frequency of its motion in cycles per second. State your answer to three si

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

(a)0.0002778

(b) $1.16\times10^{-5}$

Explanation:

(a) The minute hand has a period of 60 minutes ( or 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds) for 1 circle. Its frequency per second would be

1 / 3600 = 0.0002778

(b) The hour hand has a period of 24 hours ( or 24*60 * 60 = 86400

seconds) for 1 circle. Its frequency per second would be

$1 / 86400 = 1.16\times10^{-5}$

In si units, the electric field in an electromagnetic wave is described by ey = 104 sin(1.40 107x − ωt). (a) find the amplitude

melamori03 [73]

Answers:
(a) $B_o = 0.3466$ μT
(b) $\lambda = 0.4488$ μm
(c) f = $6.68 * 10^{14}Hz$

Explanation:
Given electric field(in y direction) equation:
$E_y = 104sin(1.40 * 10^7 x -\omega t)$

(a) The amplitude of electric field is $E_o = 104$ . Hence

The amplitude of magnetic field oscillations is $B_o = \frac{E_o}{c}$
Where c = speed of light

Therefore,
$B_o = \frac{104}{3*10^8} = 0.3466$ μT (Where T is in seconds--signifies the oscillations)

(b) To find the wavelength use:
$\frac{2 \pi }{\lambda} = 1.40 * 10^7$
$\lambda = \frac{2 \pi}{1.40} * 10^{-7}$
$\lambda = 0.4488$ μm

(c) Since c = fλ
=> f = c/λ

Now plug-in the values
f = (3*10^8)/(0.4488*10^-6)
f = $6.68 * 10^{14}Hz$

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s

gulaghasi [49]

(a) 0.96 m/s

The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:

$T=2\cdot 2.5 s=5.0 s$

The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.20 Hz$

The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so

$\lambda=4.8 m$

And the wave speed is given by:

$v=\lambda f=(4.8 m)(0.20 Hz)=0.96 m/s$

(b) 0.265 m

The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is

d = 0.53 m

The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is

$A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.53 m}{2}=0.265 m$
