Two particles oscillate in simple harmonic motion along a common straight-line segment of length 1.0 m. Each particle has a peri
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) the particles are <em>0.217 m </em>apart

b) <em>the particles are moving in the same direction</em>.

Explanation:

a) The amplitude of the oscillations is A/2 and the period of each particle is

T = 1.5 s however, they differ by a phase of π/6 rad. Let the phase of the first particle be zero so that the phase of the second particle is π/6. So we can write the coordinates of each of the particles as,

x₁ = A/2 cos(ωt)

x₂ = A/2 cos(ωt + π/6)

we can write the angular frequency ω, as

ω = 2π / T

so,

x₁ = A/2 cos(2π / T)

x₂ = A/2 cos(2π / T + π/6)

Thus, the coordinates of the particles at t = 0.45 s are,

x₁ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5)) = -0.155 A

x₂ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5) + π/6) = -0.372 A

Their separation at that time is, therefore,

Δx = x₁ - x₂

    = -0.155 A + 0.372 A

    = 0.217 A

since A = 1 m

Thus,

<em>Δx  = 0.217 m</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

b) In order to find their directions, we must take the derivatives at t = 0.45 s.

Therefore,

v₁ = dx₁ / dt

   = (-πA / T) sin(2πt / T)

   = -(π(1) / 1.5) sin(2π(0.45) / 1.5)

   = -1.99

and,

v₂ = dx₂ / dt

   = (-πA / T) sin((2πt / T) + π/6)

   = -(π(1) / 1.5) sin((2π(0.45) / 1.5) + π/6)

   = -1.40

Since both v₁ and v₂ are negative, this shows that <em>the particles are moving in the same direction</em>.

66. Calculate the displacement and velocity at times of (a) 0.500 s, (b) 1.00 s, (c) 1.50 s, and (d) 2.00 s for a ball thrown st
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) t=1s

y = 10.1m

v=5.2m/s

b) t=1.5s

y =11.475 m

v=0.3m/s

c) t=2s

y =10.4 m

v=-4.6m/s  (The minus sign (-) indicates that the ball is already going down)

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply the free fall formula for position (y) and speed (v) at any time (t).

As gravity opposes movement the sign in the equations is negative.:  

y = vi*t - ½ g*t2 Equation 1

v=vit-g*t  Equation 2

y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t  

vi: Initial speed

g= acceleration due to gravity

v= Speed the ball moves at time t  

Known information

We know the following data:

Vi=15 m / s

g =9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

t=1s ,1.5s,2s

Development of problem

We replace t in the equations (1) and (2)  

a) t=1s

y = 15*1 - ½ 9.8*1^{2}=15-4.9=10.1m

v=15-9.8*1 =15-9.8 =5.2m/s

b) t=1.5s

y = 15*1.5 - ½ 9.8*1.5^{2}=22.5-11.025=11.475 m

v=15-9.8*1.5 =15-14.7=0.3m/s

c) t=2s

y = 15*2 - ½ 9.8*2^{2}= 30-19.6=10.4 m

v=15-9.8*2 =15-19.6=-4.6m/s  (The minus sign (-) indicates that the ball is already going down)

The word electromagnetism in physics is used to describe one of the fundamental forces of nature this force is between somatic p
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Namely, they are:

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged particles (and between magnetic fields). The force can be either attractive (if the two charges have opposite signs) or repulsive (if the two charges have same sign), and it acts over an infinite range.

- Gravitational force: it is the force exerted between objects with mass. It is always attractive, and it also has an infinite range of action. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that acts between protons and neutrons inside the nucleus, and it is responsible for keeping the nucleus together and preventing it from breaking apart (due to the electrostatic repulsion between protons)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certains nuclear decays, such as the beta decay, in which a neutron turns into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.

Explain why a person who has runny nose is unable to detect smells clearly.
Orlov [11]
If you have a runny nose then the mucus will block the path that smell goes through. So if you are trying to smell a flower then you will have a hard time because the mucus is in the way, or blocking the entrance path. Hope this helps:)
