Two particles oscillate in simple harmonic motion along a common straight-line segment of length 1.0 m. Each particle has a peri

od of 1.5 s, but they differ in phase by π/6 rad.
(a) How far apart are they 0.45 s after the lagging particle leaves one end of the path?
(b) Are they then moving in the same direction, toward each other, or away from each other?

Answer:

a) the particles are <em>0.217 m </em>apart

b) <em>the particles are moving in the same direction</em>.

Explanation:

a) The amplitude of the oscillations is A/2 and the period of each particle is

T = 1.5 s however, they differ by a phase of π/6 rad. Let the phase of the first particle be zero so that the phase of the second particle is π/6. So we can write the coordinates of each of the particles as,

x₁ = A/2 cos(ωt)

x₂ = A/2 cos(ωt + π/6)

we can write the angular frequency ω, as

ω = 2π / T

so,

x₁ = A/2 cos(2π / T)

x₂ = A/2 cos(2π / T + π/6)

Thus, the coordinates of the particles at t = 0.45 s are,

x₁ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5)) = -0.155 A

x₂ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5) + π/6) = -0.372 A

Their separation at that time is, therefore,

Δx = x₁ - x₂

    = -0.155 A + 0.372 A

    = 0.217 A

since A = 1 m

Thus,

<em>Δx  = 0.217 m</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

b) In order to find their directions, we must take the derivatives at t = 0.45 s.

Therefore,

v₁ = dx₁ / dt

   = (-πA / T) sin(2πt / T)

   = -(π(1) / 1.5) sin(2π(0.45) / 1.5)

   = -1.99

and,

v₂ = dx₂ / dt

   = (-πA / T) sin((2πt / T) + π/6)

   = -(π(1) / 1.5) sin((2π(0.45) / 1.5) + π/6)

   = -1.40

Since both v₁ and v₂ are negative, this shows that <em>the particles are moving in the same direction</em>.

How much time is needed to produce 720 Joules of work if 90 watts of power is used?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

power (P) is defined as the rate at which work is done.

power is measured in Watts (W) , when the work done is measured in Joules (J) and time in seconds

by the definition of power,

Power=\frac{work.done}{time.taken} \\ \\ time.taken=\frac{work.done}{power}\\=\frac{720J }{90W} \\ \\ =8 s

Which of the following are density labels? <br> a. Kg/L <br> b. g/m <br> c. g/mL <br> d. cm/g
bearhunter [10]
Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance.<span> </span><span>It has standard units of kg/m^3 or g/mL. So, the best answer is option C.</span>

Your local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of f = 1100 kHz. The electric-field component of the signal you receive at
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

(a) 272.73 m

(b) 0.338 N/C

Explanation:

frequency, f = 1100 kHz = 1100 x 1000 Hz

E(t) = Eo Sin(2πft)

Eo = 0.62 N/C

(a) Velocity of light, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

wavelength, λ = c / f = (3 x 10^8) / (1100000) = 272.73 m

Thus, the wavelength is 272.73 m.

(b) at t = 3.1 microsecond = 3.1 x 10^-6 s

E = Eo Sin (2 π ft)

E = 0.62 Sin (2 x 3.14 x 1100 x 10^3 x 3.1 x 10^-6)

E = 0.62 Sin (21.4148)

E = 0.62 x 0.5449 = 0.338 N/C

Thus, the electric field at t = 3.1 microsecond s 0.338 N/C.
