Explanation:

(a) It is known that equation for transverse wave is given as follows.

y = $(0.09 m)sin(\pi \frac{x}{11} + 4 \pi t)$

Now, we will compare above equation with the standard form of transeverse wave equation,

y = $A sin(kx + \omega t)$

where, A is the amplitude = 0.09 m

k is the wave vector = $\frac{\pi}{11}$

$\omega$ is the angular frequency = $4\pi$

x is displacement = 1.40 m

t is the time = 0.16 s

Now, we will differentiate the equation with respect to t as follows.

The speed of the wave will be:

v(t) = $\frac{dy}{dt}$

v(t) = $A \omega cos(kx + \omega t)$

v(t) = $(0.09 m)(4\pi) cos(\frac{\pi \times 1.4}{11} + 4 \pi \times 0.16)$

v(t) = -0.84 m/s

The acceleration of the particle in the location is

a(t) = $\frac{dv}{dt}$

a(t) = $-A \omega 2sin(kx + \omega t)$

a(t) = $-(0.09 m)(4 \pi)2 sin(\frac{\pi \times 1.4}{11} + 4\pi \times 0.16)$

a(t) = -9.49 $m/s^{2}$

Hence, the value of transverse wave is 0.84 m/s and the value of acceleration is 9.49 $m/s^{2}$ .

(b) Wavelength of the wave is given as follows.

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

$\lambda = (frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{11})
$

$\lambda$ = 22 m

The period of the wave is

T = $\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$

T = $\frac{2 \pi}{4 \pi}$

= 0.5 sec

Now, we will calculate the speed of propagation of wave as follows.

v = $\frac{\lambda}{T}$

= $\frac{22 m}{0.5 s}$

= 44 m/s

therefore, we can conclude that wavelength is 22 m, period is 0.5 sec, and speed of propagation of wave is 44 m/s.

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7

maxonik [38]

First, let's find the speed $v_i$ of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
$p_i = m_1 v_1$
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass $m_1 +m_2$ and they are moving with speed $v_i$ :
$p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i$
For conservation of momentum
$p_i=p_f$
So we can write
$m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i$
From which we find
$v_i = \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s$

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force $\mu (m_1+m_2)g$ . The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
$\mu (m_1+m_2)g d$
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
$\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2$
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
$\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g d$
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
$\mu = \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49$

Find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle it makes with the positive x-axis. (Let |a| = 22 lb and |b| = 16 lb. Rou

SVEN [57.7K]

Incomplete question as the angle between the force is not given I assumed angle of 55°.The complete question is here

Two forces, a vertical force of 22 lb and another of 16 lb, act on the same object. The angle between these forces is 55°. Find the magnitude and direction angle from the positive x-axis of the resultant force that acts on the object. (Round to one decimal places.)

Answer:

Resultant Force=33.8 lb

Angle=67.2°

Explanation:

Given data

Fa=22 lb

Fb=16 lb

Θ=55⁰

To find

(i) Resultant Force F

(ii)Angle α

Solution

First we need to represent the forces in vector form

$\sqrt{x} F_{1}=22j\\ F_{2}=u+v\\F_{2}=16sin(55)i+16cos(55)j\\F_{2}=16(0.82)i+16(0.5735)j\\F_{2}=13.12i+9.176j$

Total Force

$F=F_{1}+F_{2}\\ F_{2}=22j+13.12i+9.176j\\F_{2}=13.12i+31.176j$

The Resultant Force is given as

$|F|=\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }\\|F|=\sqrt{(13.12)^{2} +(31.176)^{2} }\\ |F|=33.8lb$

For(ii) angle

We can find the angle bu using tanα=y/x

So

$tan\alpha =\frac{31.176}{13.12}\\ \alpha =tan^{-1} (\frac{31.176}{13.12})\\\alpha =67.2^{o}$

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is ________ the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to

Vsevolod [243]

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is <u>equal to </u>the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to Earth.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The force that attracts any two objects/bodies with mass towards each other is defined as gravitational force. Generally the gravitational force is attractive, as it always pulls the masses together and never pushes them apart.

The gravitational force can be calculated effectively using the following formula: F=GMmr^2

where “G” is the gravitational constant.

Though gravity has the ability to pull the masses together, it is the weakest force in the nature.

The mass of the Earth and moon varies, but still the gravitational force felt by the Earth and Moon are alike.
