A traveling wave has displacement given by y(x,t)=(2.0cm)×cos(2πx−4πt), where x is measured in cm and t in s. what is the speed

of the wave?
Physics

quester [9]3 years ago

Answer:

v = 2 cm/s

Explanation:

The equation of the wave is

y(x,t)   =  (2.0cm)*cos(2π*x−4π*t)

Where,

x is measured in cm

t in s

A more general formula for this equation would be

y(x,t)   =  A*cos(k*x−ω*t)

Where,

A = amplitude.

k = the wavenumber

ω = the angular frequency

The velocity of the wave corresponds to

v = ω/k

v = 4π / 2π = 2 cm/s

v = 2 cm/s

Allisa [31]

In this collision, 1/2 of the initial kinetic energy of the first glider is converted into thermal energy.

<h3>In plain English, what is kinetic energy?</h3>

An object's strength as a result ofstrength an object has as a result or motion is known as kinetic energy. Toorder to accelerate an object, a force must be applied. Applying force requires effort on our part. When the work is done, power is transported to the thing, which causes it to move at the athe new, constant pace.

<h3>What does kinetic energy mean, or what are some instances?</h3>

The motion energy is known as kinetic energy, and it is manifested when a particle, object, or group if particles moves. Any moving object uses kinetic energy, including people walking, baseballs being thrown, food falling from tables, and charged particles in electric fields.

Resistors and reactors, for use over 600 volts, shall not be installed in close enough proximity to combustible materials to con
suter [353]

Resistors and reactors, for use over 600 volts, shall not be installed in close enough proximity to combustible materials to constitute a fire hazard and shall have a clearance of not less than<u> 300 mm </u>from combustible materials.

Explanation:

  • The hazards associated with high power industrial resistors are primarily due to their open construction, which is necessary for cooling.
  • The exposed conductors which make up the resistors can be not only a shock hazard but also a thermal burn hazard.
  • When a resistor fails, it either goes open or the resistance increases. When the resistance increases, it can burn the board, or burn itself up.
  • Avoid touching non-flammable resistors in operation; the surface temperature ranges from approximately 350 °C to 400°C when utilized at the full rated value. Maintaining a surface temperature of 200°C or less will extend resistors service life.
  • Do not apply power to a circuit while measuring resistance. When you are finished using an ohmmeter, switch it to the OFF position if one is provided and remove the leads from the meter.
  • Always adjust the ohmmeter for 0 (or in shunt ohmmeter) after you change ranges before making the resistance measurement.

Define unit of electric work (JOULE) in relation to quantity of charge and potential difference.
astraxan [27]
1 volt = 1 joule per coulomb

It takes 1 joule of work to force a coulomb of charge enough closer to a charge
with the same sign to raise its potential 1 volt.

If you allow 1 coulomb of charge to fall to where its potential is 1 volt less,
it gives up 1 joule of energy.
