Two harmonic waves traveling in opposite directions interfere to produce a standing wave described by y
AnnyKZ [126]

The wavelength of the interfering waves is 3.14 m.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The general equation of a standing wave is given by:

y = 2A sin (kx) cos (ωt)                            ......(1)

The given equation represents the standing wave produced by the interference of two harmonic waves:

y = 3 sin (2x) cos 5t                                .......(2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2):

k = 2

We know that,

k = 2π/λ

λ = 2π/k

λ = 2 (3.14)/ 2

λ = 3.14 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the interfering waves is 3.14 m.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

Two harmonic waves traveling in opposite directions interfere to produce a standing wave described by y = 3 sin (2x) cos 5t where x is in m and t is in s. What is the wavelength of the interfering waves?

If the clock runs slow and loses 15 s per day, how should you adjust the length of the pendulum?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

L= 1 m,   ΔL = 0.0074 m

Explanation:

A clock is a simple pendulum with angular velocity

         w = √ g / L

Angular velocity is related to frequency and period.

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

We replace

        2π / T = √ g / L

        T = 2π √L / g

We will use the value of g = 9.8 m / s², the initial length of the pendulum, in general it is 1 m (L = 1m)

With this length the average time period is

           T = 2π √1 / 9.8

           T = 2.0 s

They indicate that the error accumulated in a day is 15 s, let's use a rule of proportions to find the error is a swing

           t = 1 day (24h / 1day) (3600s / 1h) = 86400 s

         e= Δt = 15 (2/86400) = 3.5 104 s

The time the clock measures is

           T ’= To - e

           T’= 2.0 -0.00035

           T’= 1.99965 s

Let's look for the length of the pendulum to challenge time (t ’)

           L’= T’² g / 4π²

           L’= 1.99965 2 9.8 / 4π²

           L ’= 0.9926 m

Therefore the amount that should adjust the length is

           ΔL = L - L’

           ΔL = 1.00 - 0.9926

           ΔL = 0.0074 m

The pumping of air into and out of the lungs in known as
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Respiration

Explanation:

The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breathe. They bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation). This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.383. At what minimum rate wo
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

25.59 m/s²

Explanation:

Using the formula for  the force of static friction:

f_s = \mu_s N --- (1)

where;

f_s = static friction force

\mu_s = coefficient of static friction

N = normal force

Also, recall that:

F = mass × acceleration

Similarly, N = mg

here, due to min. acceleration of the car;

N = ma_{min}

From equation (1)

f_s = \mu_s ma_{min}

However, there is a need to balance the frictional force by using the force due to the car's acceleration between the quarter and the wall of the rocket.

Thus,

F = f_s

mg = \mu_s ma_{min}

a_{min} = \dfrac{mg }{ \mu_s m}

a_{min} = \dfrac{g }{ \mu_s }

where;

\mu_s = 0.383 and g = 9.8 m/s²

a_{min} = \dfrac{9.8 \ m/s^2 }{0.383 }

\mathbf{a_{min}= 25.59 \ m/s^2}
