A transverse wave is set up in a very long string. The oscillator is set at 20.0 Hz, and the wave speed is 78 m/s. The amplitude

of the wave is 5.2 cm. What is the maximum particle acceleration for a point on the string?

To solve this problem we must apply the concepts related to Tangential Acceleration based on angular velocity and acceleration, and therefore, we must also calculate angular velocity based on the given frequency. For all these problems we will take the Units to the International System. The maximum acceleration would then be defined as,

a_{max} = \omega^2 A

Here,

\omega= Angular velocity

A = Amplitude

At the same time the angular velocity is described as,

\omega = 2\pi f

Here f means the frequency of the wave. Substituting,

\omega = 2 \pi (20)

\omega = 40\pi

A = 5.2cm

A = 0.052m

Replacing at the first equation,

a_{max} = (40\pi )^2 (0.052)

a_{max} = 821.15m/s^2

Therefore the maximum particle acceleration for a point on the string is 821.15m/s^2

An object is moving to the right in a straight line. The net force acting on the object is also directed to the right, but the m
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

A) continue to move to the right, with its speed increasing with time.

Explanation:

As long as force is positive , even when it is decreasing , it will create positive increase in velocity . Hence the body will keep moving with increasing velocity towards the right . The moment the force becomes zero on continuously decreasing , the increase in velocity stops and the body will be moving with the last velocity uniformly towards right . When the force acting on it becomes negative , even then the body will keep on going to the right till negative force makes its velocity zero . D uring this period , the body will keep moving towards right with decreasing velocity .

Hence in the present case A , is the right choice.

Would a rougher or smoother object absorb thermal energy faster? Why? Give an example.
Nuetrik [128]
Smoother because it will increase energy and when the energy increases it’ll create heat also . Example: A car racing on a smooth road it’ll go faster than a Car speeding on a bumpy and rough road , Hope that helps .

a balloon inflated in a room at 297k has a volume of 4.00 l. the balloon is then heated to a temperature of 331 k. what is the n
Naddika [18.5K]
V2 = 4.4579 L

Since pressure is constant, use Charle’s law.
Charles's law, a statement that the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant.

V(olume) 1 = V(olume) 2
————— —————
T(emperature) 1 T(emperature)2

4.00 L = V2
———- ———
297 K 331 K

Cross multiply
(4.00 L x 331 K) = (297 K x V2)
Simplify
1324 L/K = 297 K x V2
Isolate V2 by dividing out 297 K
1324 L/K = V2
————
297 K
(This cancels out the kelvin and leaves you with Liters as the volume measure)

V2 = 4.4579 L
