What is the phase ϕ(x,t) of the wave? Express the phase in terms of one or more given variables (A, k, x, t, and ω) and any need

ed constants like π. Throughout this problem, be sure to use 'k' instead of the greek letter 'κ' (kappa), and the greek letter 'ω' instead of 'w'.

Answer:

ϕ (x,t) = 2πx/¶

Explanation:

According to mathematical representation of wave equation

y(x,t) = Asin (ωt-ϕ)

where ω is the angular velocity of the wave

ϕ is the phase angle

t is the time taken

ϕ depends on the horizontal displacement and wavelength of the wave. Therefore,

ϕ= kx... (1)

where k =2π/¶... (2)

Taking ¶ as the wavelength

Substituting equation 2 into 1

ϕ(x,t)= 2πx/¶

Write Newton's 3rd law. How would this law relate to a rocket ship taking off from the earth? Would this law affect the rocket s
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Part A

Newton's 3rd law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite, mathematically, we have;

F_A = -F_B

Where;

F_A = The action force

F_B = The reaction force

Part B

The law indicates that the force with which a rocket ship uses in taking off from the Earth, F_A is equal in magnitude, and opposite in direction to the reaction force of the Earth to the motion of the rocket, (-)F_B

Part C

The law is a universal law, and it will also affect the rocket ship in space, as the force of the jet from the exhaust is directed towards Earth while in space, the rocket is propelled deeper into space

A football player runs at 8m/s and plows into a 80kg referee standing on the field causing the referee to fly forward at 5m/s. I
madreJ [45]

The topic here is momentum.

When a collision is said to be elastic, it means that the colliding objects now travel at their own new, indivual and distinct velocities, often in different directions.

So we write that as,

(mass of football player x velocity of football player) + (mass of referee x velocity of referee) = (mass of football player x velocity of football player) + (mass of referee x velocity of referee)

(M × 8) + (80 × 0) = (M× 0) + (80 × 5)

8M = 400

M = 50 kg

What is the main difference between velocity and speed?
Marina86 [1]
Speed is scalar, meaning it's only going to be like 74 mph, doesn't matter which direction. Velocity is a vector, meaning it has direction. You can go -74mph when talking about velocity, not speed.

A spaceship is moving at 0.74 c (0.74 times the speed of light) with respect to the earth. An observer on the spaceship measures
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The time interval is 22.76 hr.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 30 hrs

Speed = 0.74c

We need to calculate the time interval measured in earth frame

Using formula of time dilation

\Delta t=\dfrac{\Delta t_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}

Where, \Delta t = time interval measured in earth frame

\Delta t_{0}=proper time interval

Put the value into the formula

\Delta t=\dfrac{30}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.74c^2}{c^2}}}

\Delta t=\dfrac{30}{\sqrt{1-(0.74)^2}}

\Delta t=\dfrac{30}{0.6726}

\Delta t=44.60\ hr

We need to calculate the proper time interval when the velocity is 0.86c

Using formula of time dilation

44.60=\dfrac{\Delta t_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.86c^2}{c^2}}}

\Delta t_{0}=44.60\times\sqrt{1-(0.86)^2}

\Delta t_{0}=22.76\ hr

Hence, The time interval is 22.76 hr.

(100 pts)<br>Why can't you use distance divide by time to calculate the instantaneous<br>speed?​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Instantaneous speed means speed at any instant

that means Speed is changing with time

You know speed is distance/time

So that means distance is also changing with time

So we take infinitesimal small distance per infinitesimal small time As we assume speed is constant in infinitesimal small time dt

So, we take speed = ds/dt

ds = infinitesimal small distance

dt = infinitesimal small time

As its ratio is equal to speed at any instant

Note : We are taking infinitesimal small distance

But :) we are taking infinitesimal small time also

As you know if denominator is small fraction is large So fraction always give large value

So it's not O ( this makes confuse to most of students)

So, thanks

Good question

Keep thinking like this :)
