from one mirror and face it. You see an infinite number of reflections of your front and back.(a) How far from you is the first "front" image? ft (b) How far from you is the first "back" image? ft

Answer:

<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>

<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>

Explanation:

Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft

difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft

a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.

According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,

your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>

b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.

the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,

the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,

therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>

What average power must be supplied to the rope to generate sinusoidal waves that have amplitude 0.200 m and wavelength 0.600 m
pychu [463]

Complete question:

A taut rope has a mass of 0.123 kg and a length of 3.54 m. What average power must be supplied to the rope to generate sinusoidal waves that have amplitude 0.200 m and wavelength 0.600 m if the waves are to travel at 28.0 m/s ?

Answer:

The average power supplied to the rope to generate sinusoidal waves is 1676.159 watts.

Explanation:

Velocity = Frequency  X wavelength

V = Fλ ⇒ F = V/λ

F = 28/0.6 = 46.67 Hz

Angular frequency (ω) = 2πF = 2π (46.67) = 93.34π rad/s

Average power supplied to the rope will be calculated as follows

P_{avg} =\frac{1}{2} \mu \omega^2 A^2 V

where;

ω is the angular frequency

A is the amplitude

V is the velocity

μ is mass per unit length = 0.123/3.54 = 0.0348 kg/m

P_{avg} =\frac{1}{2} ( 0.0348)(93.34 \pi )^2 (0.2)^2 (28) = 1676.159 watts

The average power supplied to the rope to generate sinusoidal waves is 1676.159 watts.

Consider the vector field. f(x, y, z) = xy2z2i x2yz2j x2y2zk (a) find the curl of the vector field?
Marat540 [252]

Observe that the given vector field is a gradient field:

Let f(x,y,z)=\nabla g(x,y,z), so that

\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial x} = x y^2 z^2

\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y} = x^2 y z^2

\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial z} = x^2 y^2 z

Integrating the first equation with respect to x, we get

g(x,y,z) = \dfrac12 x^2 y^2 z^2 + h(y,z)

Differentiating this with respect to y gives

\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y} = x^2 y z^2 + \dfrac{\partial h}{\partial y} = x^2 y z^2 \\\\ \implies \dfrac{\partial h}{\partial y} = 0 \implies h(y,z) = i(z)

Now differentiating g with respect to z gives

\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial z} = x^2 y^2 z + \dfrac{di}{dz} = x^2 y^2 z \\\\ \implies \dfrac{di}{dz} = 0 \implies i(z) = C

Putting everything together, we find a scalar potential function whose gradient is f,

f(x,y,z) = \nabla \left(\dfrac12 x^2 y^2 z^2 + C\right)

It follows that the curl of f is 0 (i.e. the zero vector).

As a box is pushed 30 meters across a horizontal floor by a constant horizontal force of 25 newtons, the kinetic energy of the b
irakobra [83]

Answer:

1,050 Joules

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> work done in moving the box 30 meters

work done = force X distance

                  = 25N X 30 = 750 Joules

<u>Step 2: </u>calculate total internal energy

Total internal energy = work done + kinetic energy

                                   = 750 Joules + 300 Joules

                                   = 1,050 Joules = 1.05 KJ
