What is a travelling wave and a standing wave? What are the differences between both of them?

Answer: First of all we have to understand that a traveling wave is an organized disturbance traveling with a well defined wave speed. On the other hand standing waves are the combination of period waves with their reflected waves creating double sided waves. The differences between them is that standing waves have nodes and antinodes while a traveling wave does not.

I hope it helps, Regards.

I always hear a difference between transverse and longitudinal waves, and, standing and traveling waves, but for me, transverse and standing waves looks very similar; and i can't seem to find out what is the difference.

both has nodes and antinodes, thus the change in amplitude as you go about the wave, and all the points between 2 nodes are in phase.

A mobile starts with a speed of 250m / s and begins to decelerate at a rate of 3m / s². How fast is it after 45s?

Korvikt [17]

$\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \purple{Given}}}}}$

Speed of the mobile = 250 m/s
It starts decelerating at a rate of 3 m/s²
Time travelled = 45s

$\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \green{To \: find}}}}}$

Velocity of mobile after 45 seconds

$\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \red{ \bf{Now, \: What \: to \: do?}}}}}$

We can solve the above question using the three equations of motion which are:-

v = u + at
s = ut + 1/2 at²
v² = u² + 2as

So, Here a is acceleration of the body, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, t is the time taken and s is the displacement of the body.

$\large{ \bf{ \underline{ \underline{ \orange{Solution:}}}}}$

We are provided with,

u = 250 m/s
a = -3 m/s²
t = 45 s

By using 1st equation of motion,

⇛ v = u + at

⇛ v = 250 + (-3)45

⇛ v = 250 - 135 m/s

⇛ v = 115 m/s

✤ Final velocity of mobile = 115 m/s

The rocket's acceleration has components $a_{x}(t)= \alpha t^{2}$ and $a_{y}(t)= \beta - \gamma t$, where \(\alpha = 2.50 {\

lbvjy [14]

it is just a matter of integration and using initial conditions since in general dv/dt = a it implies v = integral a dt
v(t)_x = integral a_{x}(t) dt = alpha t^3/3 + c the integration constant c can be found out since we know v(t)_x at t =0 is v_{0x} so substitute this in the equation to get v(t)_x = alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x}
similarly v(t)_y = integral a_{y}(t) dt = integral beta - gamma t dt = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + c this constant c use at t = 0 v(t)_y = v_{0y} v(t)_y = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y}
so the velocity vector as a function of time vec{v}(t) in terms of components as[ alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} , beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} ]
similarly you should integrate to find position vector since dr/dt = v r = integral of v dt
r(t)_x = alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t + c let us assume the initial position vector is at origin so x and y initial position vector is zero and hence c = 0 in both cases
r(t)_y = beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t + c here c = 0 since it is at 0 when t = 0 we assume
r(t)_vec = [ r(t)_x , r(t)_y ] = [ alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t , beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t ]

An elevator is moving down with an acceleration of 3.36 m/s2.

sergeinik [125]

Answer : 413.44N

Here it is given that an elevator is moving down with an acceleration of 3.36 m/s² . And we are interested in finding out the apparent weight of a 64.2 kg man . For the diagram refer to the attachment .

From the elevator's frame ( non inertial frame of reference) , we would have to think of a pseudo force.
The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .
When a elevator accelerates down , the weight recorded is less than the actual weight .

From the Free body diagram ,

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = mg - ma \\$

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = m ( g - a ) \\$

Mass of the man = 64.2 kg

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = 64.2( 9.8 - 3.36) N\\$

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = 64.2 * 6.44 N\\$

$\sf\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\bf Weight_{apparent}= 413.44 N }} \\$

What is the gravitational relationship between two objects?

Inessa [10]

I think the right answer would be objects pull because gravitational pull is when an object with more mass than an other object would pull the small mass object
