assuming the reference line to measure the height for gravitational potential energy lying at the equilibrium position

m = mass attached to the spring = 10.00 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 250 N/m

h = height of the mass above the reference line or equilibrium position = 0.50 m

x = compression of the spring = 0.50 m

v = speed of mass = 2.4 m/s

A = maximum amplitude of the oscillation

v' = speed of mass at the maximum amplitude location = 0 m/s

using conservation of energy between the point where the speed is 2.4 m/s  and the highest point at which displacement is maximum from equilibrium

kinetic energy + spring potential energy + gravitational potential energy = kinetic energy at maximum amplitude + spring potential energy at maximum amplitude  + gravitational potential energy at maximum amplitude

(0.5) m v² + m g h + (0.5) k x² = (0.5) m v'² + m g A + (0.5) k A²

inserting the values

(0.5) (10) (2.4)² + (10) (9.8) (0.50) + (0.5) (250) (0.50)² = (0.5) (10) (0)² + (10) (9.8) A + (0.5) (250) A²

109.05 = (98) A + (125) A²

A = 0.62 m

Two microwave signals of nearly equal wavelengths can generate a beat frequency if both are directed onto the same microwave det
alekssr [168]

Answer:

1.5106 cm

Explanation:

The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference between the frequencies of the two signals:

f_B = |f_1 - f_2|

using the wave equation, we can re-write each frequency as

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where c is the speed of light and \lambda is the wavelength. Therefore,

f_B = |\frac{c}{\lambda_1}-\frac{c}{\lambda_2}|

where:

f_B = 140 MHz = 140\cdot 10^6 Hz is the beat frequency

\lambda_1 = 1.50 cm = 0.015 m is the wavelength of the first generator

\lambda_2 is the wavelength of the second generator

We also know that the second generator emits the longer wavelength, so we already know that the term inside the module is positive. Therefore, we can now solve for \lambda_2:

f_B = c(\frac{1}{\lambda_1}-\frac{1}{\lambda_2})\\\lambda_2=(\frac{1}{\lambda_1}-\frac{f_B}{c})^{-1}=(\frac{1}{0.015}-\frac{140\cdot 10^6}{3\cdot 10^8})^{-1}=0.015106 m = 1.5106 cm
