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

You pull with a force of 77 N on a piece of luggage of mass 23 kg, but it does
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The force of static friction acting on the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the luggage, m = 23 kg

You pulled the luggage with a force of, F = 77 N

The coefficient of static friction of luggage and floor, μₓ = 0.8

The formula for static frictional force is,

                                      Fₓ = μₓ · η

Where,

                                  η - normal force acting on the luggage 'mg'

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                   Fₓ = 0.8 x 23 x 9.8

                                        = 180.32 N

Hence, the minimum force require to pull the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N
