Answer:

Resultant amplitude is 0.53 m.

Explanation:

Amplitude is defined as the maximum displacement of wave particles from their respective mean positions.

The resulting amplitude of any two waves is given by the relation :

A = \sqrt{A_{1} ^{2} + A_{2} ^{2} + 2A_{1}A_{2}\cos x   }

Here, A is resultant amplitude, A₁ and A₂ are the amplitudes of two waves respectively and x is the difference in phase angle of the two waves.

According to the problem, A₁ is 0.4 m , A₂ is 0.23 m and x is zero. So, the above equation becomes,

A = \sqrt{0.4^{2} + 0.23^{2} + 2\times 0.4\times 0.23\times cos 0   }

A = \sqrt{0.16 + 0.053 + 0.184   }

A = 0.63 m

An apparatus similar to the one used in lab uses an oscillating motor at one end to vibrate a long rope with frequency f = 40 Hz
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The displacement in t = 0,  

y (0) = - 0.18 m

Explanation:

Given f = 40 Hz , A = 0.25m , μ = 0.02 kg / m, T = 20.48 N

v = √ T / μ

v = √20.48 N / 0.02 kg /m = 32 m/s

λ = v / f

λ = 32 m/s / 40 Hz = 0.8

K = 2 π / λ

K = 2π / 0.8 = 7.854

φ = X * 360 / λ

φ = 0.5 * 360 / 0.8 = 225 °

Using the model of y' displacement

y (t) = A* sin ( w * t - φ )

When t = 0

y (0) = 0.25 m *sin ( w*(0) - 225 )

y (0) = 0.25 * -0.707

y (0) = - 0.18 m
