To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 15.1 Mechanical Waves. Waves on a string are described by the following general equation y(

x,t)=Acos(kx−ωt). A transverse wave on a string is traveling in the +x direction with a wave speed of 8.50 m/s , an amplitude of 5.50×10−2 m , and a wavelength of 0.500 m . At time t=0, the x=0 end of the string has its maximum upward displacement. Find the transverse displacement y of a particle at x = 1.52 m and t = 0.150 s .

Answer:

0.0549 m

Explanation:

Given that

equation y(x,t)=Acos(kx−ωt)

speed  v = 8.5 m/s

amplitude A = 5.5*10^−2 m

wavelength λ   = 0.5 m

transverse displacement = ?

v = angular frequency / wave number

and

wave number = 2π/ λ

wave number =  2 * 3.142 / 0.5

wave number = 12.568

angular frequency = v k

angular frequency = 8.5 * 12.568

angular frequency = 106.828 rad/sec ~= 107 rad/sec

so

equation y(x,t)=Acos(kx−ωt)

y(x,t)= 5.5*10^−2 cos(12.568 x−107t)

when x =0 and and t = 0

maximum y(x,t)= 5.5*10^−2 cos(12.568 (0) − 107 (0))

maximum y(x,t)= 5.5*10^−2  m

and when x =  x = 1.52 m and t = 0.150 s

y(x,t)= 5.5*10^−2 cos(12.568 (1.52) −107(0.150) )

y(x,t)= 5.5*10^−2 × (0.9986)

y(x,t) = 0.0549 m

so the transverse displacement is  0.0549 m

A taxi starts from Monument Circle and travels 5 kilometers to the east for 5 minutes. Then it travels 10 kilometers to the sout
katovenus [111]

The correct sentence is:

The taxi is moving with reference to  A) Monument circle. For each leg of the trip, the taxi’s  A) Average speed stays the same, but its  B) Average velocity  changes.

In fact, speed it is only the ratio between the distance traveled and the time taken - so it does not take into account the direction of motion. The speed in the first leg is

v=\frac{5 km}{5 min}=1 km/min

while the speed in the second leg is

v=\frac{10 km}{10 min}=1 km/min

so the speed stays the same.

However, the velocity also takes into account the direction of motion: in the first leg, the direction is east, while in the second leg, the direction is south, therefore the average velocity has changed, since the direction has changed.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

baking the cake batter

Explanation:

Baking the cake batter will indicate that chemical change has occurred here. What is a chemical change?

  • A chemical change is one in which a new kind of matter is formed.
  • It is usually accompanied by energy either evolution or absorption of energy in form of heat or light or both.
  • The process is irreversible.
  • When the batter bakes, a new substance different from the cake mix is obtainable.
  • We cannot get back the ingredient from this baked cake. It is impossible.
  • This is good indicator of chemical change.
