<u>Question:</u>

Which statement is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge?

A. The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is parallel to that of the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions.

B. The wave is electromagnetic, with particles vibrating in a direction that is parallel to that of the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions.

C. The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is perpendicular to that of the wave, forming crests and troughs.

D. The wave is electromagnetic, with particles vibrating in a direction that is perpendicular to that of the wave, forming crests and troughs.

E. The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is perpendicular to that of the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions.

Answer:

The statement “The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is perpendicular to that of the wave forming compressions and rarefactions” is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As it is stated about the wave propagates in the given question, the first thing to confirm is the wave should be a mechanical wave as electromagnetic wave will not penetrate the suspension bridge.

Then as both the pavements and girders are rigid structures present in suspension bridge, the wave can propagate in them which are forming compressions and rarefactions.

The transverse waves cannot pass through them because of the polarization property of transverse waves. Also as they propagate in compression and rarefactions mode, the particles will tend to vibrate only in perpendicular direction to that of the wave propagation. So, the last statement is only true.

To practice problem-solving strategy 22.1: gauss's law. an infinite cylindrical rod has a uniform volume charge density ρ (where

BabaBlast [244]

Let say the point is inside the cylinder

then as per Gauss' law we have

$\int E.dA = \frac{q}{\epcilon_0}$

here q = charge inside the gaussian surface.

Now if our point is inside the cylinder then we can say that gaussian surface has charge less than total charge.

we will calculate the charge first which is given as

$q = \int \rho dV$

$q = \rho * \pi r^2 *L$

now using the equation of Gauss law we will have

$\int E.dA = \frac{\rho * \pi r^2* L}{\epcilon_0}$

$E. 2\pi r L = \frac{\rho * \pi r^2* L}{\epcilon_0}$

now we will have

$E = \frac{\rho r}{2 \epcilon_0}$

Now if we have a situation that the point lies outside the cylinder

we will calculate the charge first which is given as it is now the total charge of the cylinder

$q = \int \rho dV$

$q = \rho * \pi r_0^2 *L$

now using the equation of Gauss law we will have

$\int E.dA = \frac{\rho * \pi r_0^2* L}{\epcilon_0}$

$E. 2\pi r L = \frac{\rho * \pi r_0^2* L}{\epcilon_0}$

now we will have

$E = \frac{\rho r_0^2}{2 \epcilon_0 r}$

It requires 49 J of work to stretch an ideal very light spring from a length of 1.4 m to a length of 2.9 m. What is the value of

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

44 N/m

Explanation:

The extension, e, of the spring = 2.9 m - 1.4 m = 1.5 m

The work needed to stretch a spring by <em>e</em> is given by

$W = \frac{1}{2} ke^2$

where <em>k</em> is spring constant.

$k = \dfrac{2W}{e^2}$

Using the appropriate values,

$k = \dfrac{2\times 49\text{ J}}{1.5^2\text{ m}^2} = 43.55\ldots\text{ N/m} \approx 44\text{ N/m}$

In a 200-turn automobile alternator, the magnetic flux in each turn is ΦB = 2.50 10-4 cos ωt, where ΦB is in webers, ω is the an

n200080 [17]

Answer:

$10.63952sin(209.43951t)$

10.63952 V

Explanation:

$N_t$ = Number of turns = 200

$\phi_B$ = Magnetic flux = $2.5\times 10^{-4}cos(\omega t)$

$\omega_e$ = Engine angular speed = $1\times 10^{3}\ rpm$

Alternator angular speed is given by

$N_a=2\times \omega_e\\\Rightarrow N_a=2\times 1\times 10^{3}\\\Rightarrow N_a=2\times 10^{3}\ rpm$

$\omega=N_a\dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2\times 10^{3}\dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=209.43951\ rad/s$

Induced emf is given by

$\epsilon=-N_t\dfrac{d\phi_B}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=-200\dfrac{d}{dt}2.54\times 10^{-4}cos(209.43951 t)\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=200\times 2.54\times 10^{-4}\times 209.43951 sin(209.43951t)\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=10.63952sin(209.43951t)$

The function is $10.63952sin(209.43951t)$

The induced maximum emf is 10.63952 V
