The potential energy of an object is defined by the equation: PE = mgh, where m = the mass of the object, g = the gravitational acceleration and h = the object's height above the ground.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Amplitude = 0.02m

Frequency = 640 Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.5m

v = 320 m/s

Explanation:

Given the wave equation :

y=0.02 sin2π/0.5 (320t - x) where x and y are in

meters and t is in second

Comparing the above relation with the general wave equation :

y(x, t) = Asin2π/λ(wt - kx)

The amplitude, A = 0.02

From the equation :

2π/0.5 = 2π/λ

λ = 0.5 m

320t = vt

Hence, v = 320 m/s

Recall :

v = fλ

320 = f * 0.5

f = 320 / 0.5

f = 640 Hz

A briefcase sits stationary in an elevator. The mass of the briefcase if 4.5 kg. The elevator then begins accelerating upwards a
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

D. 48.985 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that:

\sum F = ma

which means that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration.

The equation of the forces for the briefcase in the elevator therefore is given by:

N-mg=ma

where

N is the normal reaction exerted on the briefcase

(mg) is the weight of the briefcase, with

m = 4.5 kg being its mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

a = 1.10 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Here we chose upward as positive direction.

Solving for N, we find the normal force:

N=mg+ma=m(g+a)=(4.5)(9.81+1.10)=49.095 N

So the closest answer is

D. 48.985 N

Two a.c V1=100sin(wt) and V2 = 150cos(wt) are fed into one circuit, determine the combined output of the two as a single a.c
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

V = 100sin(ωt) + 150cos(ωt)

let x = ωt

V = 100sin(x) + 150cos(x)

a maximum or minimum will occur when the derivative is zero

V' = 100cos(x) - 150sin(x)

0 = 100cos(x) - 150sin(x)

100cos(x) = 150sin(x)

100/150 = sin(x)/cos(x)

0.6667 = tan(x)

x = 0.588 rad

V = 100sin(0.588) + 150cos(0.588)

V = 180.27756

as the maximum will not occur until ωt = 0.588 radians, for a cosine function we subtract that amount as a phase angle φ

V = 180.3 cos(ωt - 0.588)

or as a sine function, the phase angle lags the cosine by a difference of π/2

V = 180.3sin(ωt - (0.588 - π/2)

V = 180.3sin(ωt + 0.983)
