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]

As the distance between the sun and earth decreases, the speed of the planet
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

Increases. The force of gravity is distance dependent. Therefore, a smaller 'r' value will result in a larger force. Net force is proportional to the acceleration, so the planet will increase its speed.

What must be the length of a simple pendulum if its oscillation frequency is to be equal to that of an air-track glider of mass
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

the length of the simple pendulum is 0.25 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the air-track glider, m = 0.25 kg

spring constant, k = 9.75 N/m

let the length of the simple pendulum = L

let the frequency of the air-track glider which is equal to frequency of simple pendulum = F

The oscillation frequency of air-track glider is calculated as;

F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{9.75}{0.25} } \\\\F = 0.994 \ Hz

The frequency of the simple pendulum is given as;

F = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\2\pi(F) = \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\2\pi (0.994) = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{l} } \\\\6.2455 = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{l} } \\\\(6.2455)2 = \frac{9.8}{l} \\\\39.006 = \frac{9.8}{l} \\\\l = \frac{9.8}{39.006} \\\\l = 0.25 \ m

Thus, the length of the simple pendulum is 0.25 m.

The wavelength of light that has a frequency of 1.20 × 1013 s-1 is ________ m.
klio [65]
The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
c=f \lambda
where
f is the frequency
\lambda is the wavelength
c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light.

For the light in our problem, the frequency is f=1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}, so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}}=  2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}m
