Which produces more gravitational force on your textbook: you or the earth?

Yuri [45]

The earth obviously because it is on Earth like we are and it has the same gravital properties. It falls when you drop it and rises when you pick it up

Two traveling sinusoidal waves are described by the wave functions y1 = 4.85 sin [(4.35x − 1270t)] y2 = 4.85 sin [(4.35x − 1270t

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Approximately $9.62$ .

Explanation:

$y_1 = 4.85\, \sin[(4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + 0]$ .

$y_2 = 4.85\, \sin[(4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + (-0.250)]$ .

Notice that sine waves $y_1$ and $y_2$ share the same frequency and wavelength. The only distinction between these two waves is the $(-0.250)$ in $y_2\!$ .

Therefore, the sum $(y_1 + y_2)$ would still be a sine wave. The amplitude of $(y_1 + y_2)\!$ could be found without using calculus.

Consider the sum-of-angle identity for sine:

$\sin(a + b) = \sin(a) \cdot \cos(b) + \cos(a) \cdot \sin(b)$ .

Compare the expression $\sin(a + b)$ to $y_2$ . Let $a = (4.35\, x - 1270)$ and $b = (-0.250)$ . Apply the sum-of-angle identity of sine to rewrite $y_2\!$ .

$\begin{aligned}y_2 &= 4.85\, \sin[(\underbrace{4.35\, x - 1270\, t}_{a}) + (\underbrace{-0.250}_{b})]\\ &= 4.85 \, [\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \cos(-0.250) \\ &\quad\quad\quad\; + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(-0.250)] \end{aligned}$ .

Therefore, the sum $(y_1 + y_2)$ would become:

$\begin{aligned}& y_1 + y_2\\[0.5em] &= 4.85\, [\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t) \\ &\quad \quad \quad\;+\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \cos(-0.250) \\ &\quad\quad\quad\; + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(-0.250)] \\[0.5em] &= 4.85\, [\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot (1 + \cos(-0.250)) \\ &\quad\quad\quad\; + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(-0.250)] \end{aligned}$ .

Consider: would it be possible to find $m$ and $c$ that satisfy the following hypothetical equation?

$\begin{aligned}& (4.85\, m)\cdot \sin((4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + c)\\&= 4.85\, [\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot (1 + \cos(-0.250)) \\ &\quad\quad\quad\; + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(-0.250)] \end{aligned}$ .

Simplify this hypothetical equation:

$\begin{aligned}& m\cdot \sin((4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + c)\\&=\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot (1 + \cos(-0.250)) \\ &\quad\quad + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(-0.250)\end{aligned}$ .

Apply the sum-of-angle identity of sine to rewrite the left-hand side:

$\begin{aligned}& m\cdot \sin((4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + c)\\[0.5em]&=m\, \sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \cos(c) \\ &\quad\quad + m\, \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(c) \\[0.5em] &=\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot (m\, \cos(c)) \\ &\quad\quad + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot (m\, \sin(c)) \end{aligned}$ .

Compare this expression with the right-hand side. For this hypothetical equation to hold for all real $x$ and $t$ , the following should be satisfied:

$\displaystyle 1 + \cos(-0.250) = m\, \cos(c)$ , and

$\displaystyle \sin(-0.250) = m\, \sin(c)$ .

Consider the Pythagorean identity. For any real number $a$ :

${\left(\sin(a)\right)}^{2} + {\left(\cos(a)\right)}^{2} = 1^2$ .

Make use of the Pythagorean identity to solve this system of equations for $m$ . Square both sides of both equations:

$\displaystyle 1 + 2\, \cos(-0.250) + {\left(\cos(-0.250)\right)}^2= m^2\, {\left(\cos(c)\right)}^2$ .

$\displaystyle {\left(\sin(-0.250)\right)}^{2} = m^2\, {\left(\sin(c)\right)}^2$ .

Take the sum of these two equations.

Left-hand side:

$\begin{aligned}& 1 + 2\, \cos(-0.250) + \underbrace{{\left(\cos(-0.250)\right)}^2 + {\left(\sin(-0.250)\right)}^2}_{1}\\ &= 1 + 2\, \cos(-0.250) + 1 \\ &= 2 + 2\, \cos(-0.250) \end{aligned}$ .

Right-hand side:

$\begin{aligned} &m^2\, {\left(\cos(c)\right)}^2 + m^2\, {\left(\sin(c)\right)}^2 \\ &= m^2\, \left( {\left(\sin(c)\right)}^2 + {\left(\cos(c)\right)}^2\right)\\ &= m^2\end{aligned}$ .

Therefore:

$m^2 = 2 + 2\, \cos(-0.250)$ .

$m = \sqrt{2 + 2\, \cos(-0.250)} \approx 1.98$ .

Substitute $m = \sqrt{2 + 2\, \cos(-0.250)}$ back to the system to find $c$ . However, notice that the exact value of $c\!$ isn't required for finding the amplitude of $(y_1 + y_2) = (4.85\, m)\cdot \sin((4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + c)$ .

(Side note: one possible value of $c$ is $\displaystyle \arccos\left(\frac{1 + \cos(0.250)}{\sqrt{2 \times (1 + \cos(0.250))}}\right) \approx 0.125$ radians.)

As long as $\! c$ is a real number, the amplitude of $(y_1 + y_2) = (4.85\, m)\cdot \sin((4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + c)$ would be equal to the absolute value of $(4.85\, m)$ .

Therefore, the amplitude of $(y_1 + y_2)$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}|4.85\, m| &= 4.85 \times \sqrt{2 + 2\, \cos(-0.250)} \\&\approx 9.62 \end{aligned}$ .

What holds the moon in place, orbiting around the Earth

AnnZ [28]

The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon's velocity. This means gravity makes the Moon accelerate all the time, even though its speed remains constant.

Why does gas have the most energy but moves the slowest

Ede4ka [16]

Gases have heavier molecules. Since all gases have the same average kinetic energy at the same temperature, lighter molecules move faster and heavier molecules move slower on average.
