Relationship between frequency, amplitude, wavelength and energy in a transverse wave.

Physics
1 answer:
liq [111]4 years ago
3 0
In a transverse wave:
- Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy travelling
- Frequency is the amount of complete waves passing a certain point in one second (measured in hertz, Hz)
- Wavelength is the distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the following wave
- The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particles from their average position (and be measured from the horizontal mid-point of the wave to either the peak or trough)

There isn't always a defined relationship between these features. However, frequency × wavelength = velocity of the wave.

Which example best demonstrates how unbalanced forces change the speed of an object's motion?
exis [7]

I don’t see a picture but unbalanced forces could be two boys pushing with a combined force of 400 Newton’s but the surface of what the box is laying on being 600 meaning since the ground is creating a higher force in the form of friction it will slow the boys down. When forces are unbalanced it means that the object can not be still or moving at a constant speed  when one force is greater by a significant amount the object either slows quickly or accelerates fast depending on which factor is greater.

The amplitude of a lightly damped oscillator decreases by 3.42% during each cycle. What percentage of the mechanical energy of t
frozen [14]

Answer:

The percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle is 6.72%

Explanation:

Mechanical energy (Potential energy, PE) of the oscillator is calculated as;

PE = ¹/₂KA²

During the first oscillation;

PE₁ = ¹/₂KA₁²

During the second oscillation;

A₂ = A₁ - 0.0342A₁ = 0.9658A₁

PE₂ = ¹/₂KA₂²

PE₂ = ¹/₂K (0.9658A₁)²

PE₂ = (0.9658²)¹/₂KA₁²

PE₂ = (0.9328)¹/₂KA₁²

PE₂ = 0.9328PE₁

Percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle;

Change \ in \ percent= \frac{PE_2 - PE_1}{PE_1} \\\\Change \ in \ percent= \frac{0.9328PE_1 -PE_1}{PE_1} *100\\\\Change \ in \ percent= \frac{-0.0672PE_1}{PE_1}*100 \\\\Change \ in \ percent= -0.0672*100\\\\Change \ in \ percent= -6.72 \ \% \\\\Loss \ in \ percent= 6.72 \ \%

Therefore, the percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle is 6.72%

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

182.28 W

Explanation:

Here ,

m = 7.30 Kg

distance , d= 28.0 m

time , t = 11.0 s

average power supplied = change in potential energy/time

average power supplied = m×g×d/time

average power supplied = 7.30×9.81×28/11

average power supplied = 182.28 W

the average power supplied is  182.28 W

The alternative to nuclear fission reactors in a nuclear fusion reactor. Explain why it is much more difficult to get a fusion r
Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.
