A normal mode of a closed system is an oscillation of the system in which all parts oscillate at a single frequency. In general

there are an infinite number of such modes, each one with a distinctive frequency fi and associated pattern of oscillation.
Consider an example of a system with normal modes: a string of length L held fixed at both ends, located at x=0 and x=L. Assume that waves on this string propagate with speed v. The string extends in the x direction, and the waves are transverse with displacement along the y direction.

In this problem, you will investigate the shape of the normal modes and then their frequency.

The normal modes of this system are products of trigonometric functions. (For linear systems, the time dependance of a normal mode is always sinusoidal, but the spatial dependence need not be.) Specifically, for this system a normal mode is described by

yi(x,t)=Ai sin(2π*x/λi)sin(2πfi*t)

A)The string described in the problem introduction is oscillating in one of its normal modes. Which of the following statements about the wave in the string is correct?

The wave is traveling in the +x direction.
a) The wave is traveling in the -x direction.
b) The wave will satisfy the given boundary conditions for any arbitrary wavelength lambda_i.
c) The wavelength lambda_i can have only certain specific values if the boundary conditions are to be satisfied.
d) The wave does not satisfy the boundary condition y_i(0;t)=0.
B)Which of the following statements are true?

a)The system can resonate at only certain resonance frequencies f_i and the wavelength lambda_i must be such that y_i(0;t) = y_i(L;t) = 0.
b) A_i must be chosen so that the wave fits exactly on the string.
c) Any one of A_i or lambda_i or f_i can be chosen to make the solution a normal mode.

C) Find the three longest wavelengths (call them lambda_1, lambda_2, and lambda_3) that "fit" on the string, that is, those that satisfy the boundary conditions at x=0 and x=L. These longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies.

D) The frequency of each normal mode depends on the spatial part of the wave function, which is characterized by its wavelength lambda_i.

Find the frequency f_i of the ith normal mode.

Answer:

Explanation:

(A)

The string has set of normal modes and the string is oscillating in one of its modes.

The resonant frequencies of a physical object depend on its material, structure and boundary conditions.

The free motion described by the normal modes take place at the fixed frequencies and these frequencies is called resonant frequencies.

Given below are the incorrect options about the wave in the string.

• The wave is travelling in the +x direction

• The wave is travelling in the -x direction

• The wave will satisfy the given boundary conditions for any arbitrary wavelength \lambda_i

• The wave does not satisfy the boundary conditions y_i(0;t)=0


Here, the string of length L held fixed at both ends, located at x=0 and x=L

The key constraint with normal modes is that there are two spatial boundary conditions,y(0,1)=0


and y(L,t)=0

.The spring is fixed at its two ends.

The correct options about the wave in the string is

• The wavelength \lambda_i  can have only certain specific values if the boundary conditions are to be satisfied.

(B)

The key factors producing the normal mode is that there are two spatial boundary conditions, y_i(0;t)=0 and y_i(L;t)=0, that are satisfied only for particular value of \lambda_i  .

Given below are the incorrect options about the wave in the string.

•  A_i must be chosen so that the wave fits exactly o the string.

• Any one of  A_i or \lambda_i  or f_i  can be chosen to make the solution a normal mode.

Hence, the correct option is that the system can resonate at only certain resonance frequencies f_i and the wavelength \lambda_i  must be such that y_i(0;t) = y_i(L;t)=0


(C)

Expression for the wavelength of the various normal modes for a string is,

\lambda_n=\frac{2L}{n} (1)

When n=1 , this is the longest wavelength mode.

Substitute 1 for n in equation (1).

\lambda_n=\frac{2L}{1}\\\\2L

When n=2 , this is the second longest wavelength mode.

Substitute 2 for n in equation (1).

\lambda_n=\frac{2L}{2}\\\\L

When n=3, this is the third longest wavelength mode.

Substitute 3 for n in equation (1).

\lambda_n=\frac{2L}{3}

Therefore, the three longest wavelengths are 2L,L and \frac{2L}{3}.

(D)

Expression for the frequency of the various normal modes for a string is,

f_n=\frac{v}{\lambda_n}

For the case of frequency of the i^{th} normal mode the above equation becomes.

f_i=\frac{v}{\lambda_i}

Here, f_i is the frequency of the i^{th} normal mode, v is wave speed, and \lambda_i is the wavelength of i^{th} normal mode.

Therefore, the frequency of i^{th} normal mode is  f_i=\frac{v}{\lambda_i}

An electron with a speed of 0.95c is emitted by a supernova, where cc is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the moment
krok68 [10]

Answer:

2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Momentum =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the electron. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of Light (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of electron = 0.95 × 3×10⁸

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mometum of the electron.

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Thus, with the above formula, we calculate the momentum of the electron as follow:

Mass of electron = 9.1×10¯³¹ Kg

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Momentum of electron =?

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Momentum = 9.1×10¯³¹ × 2.85×10⁸

Momentum = 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the electron is 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Astronomers build optical telescopes on tops of mountains because a. there is less air to dim the light. b. the seeing is better
V125BC [204]

Answer: choices a and b

Explanation:

Telescope can be defined as am optical instrument which is designed to observe the distant objects clear and nearer. It comprises of arrangement of lenses which allow the rays of light to be collected. The collected light is focused and the image so produced is magnified in the form of an image. The telescopes are prepared and manufactured on mountains top as this will help in preventing the distortion of light obtain from the star due to the fluctuation of air mass in the atmosphere. The atmospheric distortion affects the resolution, and affects the vision. The atmospheric pressure is low at the mountain tops so it will help in better observation of the sky.

You are driving a car with an automatic transmission; the shifter is mounted on the steering column. When you press down on the
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

From the narrative in the question, there seem to have been a break failure and the ordered step of response to this problem is to

1) Put on the hazard light to inform other road users of a problem or potential fault with your car and so they should continue their journey with caution.

2) Avoid pressing on the acceleration pedal as this might cause the car to gradually slow down due to friction and gravity

3)Try navigate the car to the service lane. This is the less busy lane where cars are sometimes parked briefly.

4) Continuously pump the breaks to try stop the car. Continuously pumping the breaks might just help you build enough pressure to stop the car because often time, there are some pressure left in the break.

5) At this point, the speed of the car should be relatively slow. So at this point, you could try apply the emergency hand break. Do not pull the emergency hand breaks if the car is on high speed. Doing this may cause the car to skid off the road.

Two capacitors, a 15 micro F and a 25 micro F, are connected in parallel to a 60 Hz source. The total capacitive reactance is :_
Stells [14]

Answer:

<em> 3980.89 ohms</em>

Explanation:

The capacitive reactance is expressed as;

X_c = \frac{1}{2 \pi fC}

f is the frequency

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

Given

f = 60H

C = C1+C2 (parallel connection)

C = 15μF + 25μF

C = 40μF

C = 40 * 10^{-6}F

Substitute into the formula:

X_c = \frac{1}{2(3.14)*60*40*10^{-6}}\\X_c =  \frac{1}{0.0002512}\\X_c = 3,980.89

<em>Hence the  total capacitive reactance is 3980.89 ohms</em>

already did the work, i just need someone to see if i did the tangent line right? the line has to touch the point 0.6! thank you
Dmitrij [34]

The tangent looks good.

The curve is a bit crooked, at the 0.9 and 1.

But overall, cool graph.
