Given Information:  

Speed = v = 40 cm/s = 0.40 m/s

Linear density of the string = μ = 4.0 g/cm = 0.4 kg/m

Required Information:  

(a) the frequency = ?

(b) the wavelength of the wave = ?

(c) y_m = ?

(d) k = ?

(e) ω = ?

(f) the correct choice of sign in front of ω = ?

(g) What is the tension in the string = ?

Answer:

(a) the frequency = 2/π Hz

(b) the wavelength of the wave = 0.628 m

(c) y_m = 0.05 m

(d) k = 10 m⁻¹

(e) ω = 4.0 s⁻¹

(f) the correct choice of sign in front of ω = negative sign

(g) What is the tension in the string = 0.064 N.

Explanation:

The standard form of the equation is given as

y(x, t) = y_m sin(kx ± ωt)

Whereas the given equation is

y=(5.0cm)sin[1.0−(4.0s⁻¹)t]

(a) the frequency

comparing the given equation with the standard form yields,

ωt = (4.0s⁻¹)t

ω = 4.0 s⁻¹

We also know that

ω = 2πf

4.0 = 2πf

f = 4.0/2π

f = 2/π Hz

Therefore, frequency of the wave is 2/π Hz

(b) the wavelength of the wave

We know that wavelength is given by

λ = v/f

Where λ is the wavelength, v is the speed of wave and f is the frequency of sinusoidal wave.

λ = 0.40/(2/π)

λ = 0.20π

λ = 0.628 m

(c) y_m

comparing the given equation with the standard form yields,

y_m = 5 cm

or

y_m = 0.05 m

This is the amplitude of the sinusoidal wave

(d) k

comparing the given equation with the standard form yields,

kx = 1

k = 1/x

k = 1/0.10

k = 10 m⁻¹

(e) ω

already calculated in part (a)

ω = 4.0 s⁻¹

(f) the correct choice of sign in front of ω?

comparing the given equation with the standard form, a negative sign is the correct choice of sign in front of ω.

(g) What is the tension in the string?

We know that tension in the string is given by

T = μv²

Where μ is the linear density of the string and v is the speed of the wave.

T = 0.4(0.40)²

T = 0.064 N

Therefore, the tension in the string is 0.064 N.

Answer:

a) f=0.64 Hz

b) \lambda=62.5 cm

c) y_{m}=5 cm

d) k=0.1 cm^{-1}

e) \omega=4 s^{-1}

g) T=0.064 N    

Explanation:

We know that the wave equation is of the form:

y(x,t) = y_{m}sin(kx \pm \omega t)

Comparing with the equation of the sinusoidal wave (y=(5.0cm)sin[1.0−(4.0s^{-1})t]) we will have:

\omega = 4 s^{-1}

a) ω is the angular frequency and it can writes in terms of frequency as:

\omega = 2\pi f , where f is the frequency.

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}

f=0.64 Hz

b) Let's recall that the speed of the wave is the product between the wave length and the frequency, so we have:

v=\lambda f

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

v is 40 cm/s

\lambda=\frac{40}{0.64}

\lambda=62.5 cm

If we compare each equation we can find y(m), k and ω:

c) y_{m}=5 cm

d) kx=1 and we know that x = 10 cm, so:

k=\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{10}

k=0.1 cm^{-1}

e) \omega=4 s^{-1}

f) The minus sign in front of the angular frequency in the equation is the correct choice, just by comparing.

g) We have to use the equation of the speed in terms of tension.

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

  • T is the tension
  • μ is the linear density
  • v is the speed of the wave

T=\mu*v^{2}

T=4*40^{2}=6400 g*cm*s^{-2}    

T=0.064 N    

I hope it helps you!

How much does a crate weigh (force) if it is 0.25 meters wide and 1.5 meters long and it
serg [7]

Force of a crate : 300 N

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

0.25 meters wide and 1.5 meters long

Pressure = 800 Pa

Required

Force

Solution

P = F/A

A = 0.25 x 1.5

A = 0.375 m²

P = 800 Pa = 800 N/m²

Input the value :

F = P x A

F = 800 N/m² x 0.375 m²

F = 300 N

Light from the star Betelgeuse takes 640 years to reach Earth. How far away is Betelgeuse in units of light-years? Name any hist
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Betelgeuse is 640 light years away from earth.

Explanation:

A light-year is an astronomical unit to measure the distance the light travels in a calendar year.

If the light from a star takes 640 years to reach us, then that star its 640ly away from us.

Betelgeuse has been labeled as a Variant Star, which means that its brightness can fluctuate over the course of years, this has made difficult for astronomers to measure the exact distance of the star. Right now the star is estimated to be around 613 and 881ly away from earth, although, for the sake of your second question, we will take 640 years as our estimated value.

In 1380 (640 years ago) the Battle of Kulikovo took place. A battle of remarkable importance to Russian history, in which the Russian army, led by Prince Dmitry of Moscow, defeated the Mongol army, defining a turning point in the Mongol dominance, and setting the bases for what Russia is today.

Can anyone help me on question 13
Leona [35]

Given that in a parallel circuit:

R1 = 12 ohms

R2= 15 ohms

I = 12 A

I2 = 4 A

V=?

R=?

R3 =?

P=?

Since,

V= IR

or,

V2 = I2 * R2

V2= 4* 15

V2 = 60V

Since in a parallel circuit voltage remain same in all component of the circuit and is equal to the source voltage.

Therefore,

V= V1 = V2 = V3 = 60V

Since,

V= IR

R= V/I

R= 60/12

R= 5 ohm

That is total resistance is equal to 5 ohms.

Since for parallel circuit,

1/R= 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

1/5= 1/12+ 1/15 + 1/R3

or

1/R3= 1/5- 1/12- 1/15

1/R3= 1/20

or

R3= 20 ohms

Since,

V=IR

I= V/R

I1= V1/ R1

I1= 60/12

I1= 5 A

I3= V3/R3

I3= 60/20

I3= 3A

Since,

P=VI

P= 60*12

P=  720 watt

P1= V1* I1

P1= 60* 5

P1= 300 watt

P2= V2* I2

P2= 60* 4

P2= 240watt

P3= V3*I3

P3= 60*3

P3= 180 watt

Hence we have,

R1= 12 ohms , R2= 15 ohms, R3= 20 ohms, R= 5 ohms

I1= 5A, I2= 4A, I3= 3A, I= 12 A

V1= V2= V3= V= 60V

P1= 300 watt, P2= 240 watt, P3 = 180 watt, P= 720 watt

A ball is thrown straight up from the ground level, with an initial velocity of 34.3 m/s.34.3 m/s. How high is the ball thrown
brilliants [131]

The maximum height attained by the ball is 60 m.

<h3>What is the maximum height?</h3>

We know that the maximum height can be obtained from the equation;

v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

v =  final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = maximum height

Since the final velocity is 0 m/s at maximum height then;

u^2 = 2gh

h = u^2/2g

h = (34.3)^2/2 * 9.8

h = 60 m
