Consider a standing wave in a one dimensional ideal medium of length "D" (like a vibrating string).

Physics

stira [4]3 years ago

Answer:

a) 20 nodes    b) zero nodes

Explanation:

When we have standing waves in a bend we have nodes at the ends and the equation describes the number of possible waves in the string is

         L = n λ/2

Where λ is the wavelength, L is the length of the string, in our case it would be D and n is an entered. We can strip the wavelength of this expression

       

       λ = 2L / n

Let's calculate what value of n we have for a wavelength equal to D/10

       λ = 2D / n

       λ = D / 10

We match and calculate

       2D / n = D / 10

       2 / n = 1/10

       n = 20

Perform them for  λ = D / 20

       λ = 2D / n

       2D / n = D / 20

       n = 2 20 = 40

Since n is an inter there should be a wavelength for each value of n in the bone period there should be 20 different wavelengths

B) for La = 10D

       2D / n = 10D

       1 / n = 5

       n = 1/5 = 0.2

 

La = 20D

       2D / n = 20D

       1 / n = 10

      n = 1/10 = 0.1

These numbers are not entered so there can be no wave in this period

How can you measure the strength of any electric field?
Softa [21]

Answer:

The strength of the source charge's electric field could be measured by any other charge placed somewhere in its surroundings. The charge that is used to measure the electric field strength is referred to as a test charge since it is used to test the field strength. The test charge has a quantity of charge denoted by the symbol q.

Explanation:

Electric field strength is a vector quantity; it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of the electric field strength is defined in terms of how it is measured. Let's suppose that an electric charge can be denoted by the symbol Q. This electric charge creates an electric field; since Q is the source of the electric field, we will refer to it as the source charge. The strength of the source charge's electric field could be measured by any other charge placed somewhere in its surroundings. The charge that is used to measure the electric field strength is referred to as a test charge since it is used to test the field strength. The test charge has a quantity of charge denoted by the symbol q. When placed within the electric field, the test charge will experience an electric force - either attractive or repulsive. As is usually the case, this force will be denoted by the symbol F. The magnitude of the electric field is simply defined as the force per charge on the test charge.

What happens to the pwc when the throttle is released?
Sergio [31]
PWC operators must keep in mind that a jet drive needs moving water through the drive nozzle for maneuverability. In other term, you must have power applied in order to uphold steering control. If the engine shuts off during operation or If you release the throttle to idle, you will lose all steering control. In either situation, the PWC will remain in the direction it was headed before the throttle was released or the engine was shut off. Action of the steering control will have no outcome. If you are approaching a dock, shore, or other vessel at a speed bigger than you can control and you release the throttle to idle or shut off the engine, you won’t have maneuvering capability and the PWC will stay its forward movement.

The greater the frequency of the waves, the ____________ the pitch.
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Higher.

Explanation:

The greater the frequency the bigger the amplitude gets and the greater pitch gets.

Think - more energy, bigger waves, more waves, and higher sound

a satellite with a mass of 1800 kg is placed at an altitude of 594 km above the surface of Europa. What is the strength of the g
saul85 [17]
The formula for gravitational potential energy is Ep= mgh. Lets convert 594 km into m: 594 x 1,000 = 594,000 m. So we do: Ep= (1,800kg)(9.8N/kg)(594,000m) = (17,640N)(594,000) = 10,478,160,000 J.

Metal sphere 1 has a positive charge of 7.00 nc . metal sphere 2, which is twice the diameter of sphere 1, is initially uncharge
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

2.33 nC, 4.67 nC

Explanation:

when the two spheres are connected through the wire, the total charge (Q=7.00 nC) re-distribute to the two sphere in such a way that the two spheres are at same potential:

V_1 = V_2 (1)

Keeping in mind the relationship between charge, voltage and capacitance:

C=\frac{Q}{V}

we can re-write (1) as

\frac{Q_1}{C_1}=\frac{Q_2}{C_2} (2)

where:

Q1, Q2 are the charges on the two spheres

C1, C2 are the capacitances of the two spheres

The capacitance of a sphere is given by

C=4 \pi \epsilon_0 R

where R is the radius of the sphere. Substituting this into (2), we find

\frac{Q_1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 R_1}=\frac{Q_2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 R_2} (3)

we also know that sphere 2 has twice the diameter of sphere 1, so the radius of sphere 2 is twice the radius of sphere 1:

R_2 = 2R_1

So the eq.(3) becomes

\frac{Q_1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 R_1}=\frac{Q_2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 2R_1}

And re-arranging it we find:

Q_2 = 2Q_1

And since we know that the total charge is

Q_1 + Q_2 = 7.00 nC

we find

Q_1 = 2.33 nC\\Q_2 = 4.67 nC
