A 1.30-m string of weight 0.0125 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v

ery small variation in tension along the length of the string that is produced by the weight of the string. When you pluck the string slightly, the waves traveling up the string obey the equationy(x,t)=(8.50mm)cos(172rad⋅m−1x−2730rad⋅s−1t)Assume that the tension of the string is constant and equal to W.How much time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string?What was the weight W?How many wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time?What is the equation for waves traveling down the string?

Answer:

1. t = 0.0819s

2. W = 0.25N

3. n = 36

4. y(x , t)= Acos[172x + 2730t]

Explanation:

1) The given equation is

y(x, t) = Acos(kx -wt)

The relationship between velocity and propagation constant is

v = \frac{\omega}{k}=\frac{2730rad/sec}{172rad/m}\\\\

v = 15.87m/s

Time taken, t = \frac{\lambda}{v}

= \frac{1.3}{15.87}\\\\=0.0819 sec

t = 0.0819s

2)

The velocity of transverse wave is given by

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{W}{\frac{m}{\lambda}}}

mass of string is calculated thus

mg = 0.0125N

m = \frac{0.0125N}{9.8N/s}

m = 0.00128kg

\omega = \frac{v^2m}{\lambda}

\omega = \frac{(15.87^2)(0.00128)}{1.30}

\omega = 0.25N

3)

The propagation constant k is

k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}

hence

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}\\\\\lambda = \frac{2 \times 3.142}{172}

\lambda = 0.036 m

No of wavelengths, n is

n = \frac{L}{\lambda}\\\\n = \frac{1.30m}{0.036m}\\

n = 36

4)

The equation of wave travelling down the string is

y(x, t)=Acos[kx -wt]\\\\becomes\\\\y(x , t)= Acos[(172 rad.m)x + (2730 rad.s)t]

without, unit\\\\y(x , t)= Acos[172x + 2730t]

On a windy day, the wind turbine transfers 78 W of power. Calculate the amount of energy the turbine transfers in 10s.​
tangare [24]

Answer:

Energy = 780 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 78 Watts

Time = 10 seconds

To find the energy transferred;

Energy refers to the amount or quantity of power which is being consumed by an individual, group of people or organization over a specific period of time.

Mathematically, energy is given by the formula;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 78 * 10

Energy = 780 Joules

Therefore, the amount of energy the turbine transferred is 780 Joules

The rate traveled from Amarillo to Austin by a bus averages 60 miles per hour. The bus arrived in Austin after eight hours of tr
jeyben [28]

Answer:

the car would arrive after 10 hr to Austin.

Explanation:

bus average from amarllo to austin = 60 miles per hour

time takne by bus to reach austin = 8 hr

automobile average from amarllo to austin = 60 miles per hour

from the information given in the question:

60 mph ---    8 h

48 mph ---  x h

By using The inverse variation:

60 : 48 = x : 8

60* 8 = 48* x

480 = 48*x

x = 480/48

x = 10 h

the car would arrive after 10 hr to Austin.
