In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the following expression,

eduard

(a) 4.06 cm

In a simple harmonic motion, the displacement is written as

$x(t) = A cos (\omega t + \phi)$ (1)

where

A is the amplitude

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

$\phi$ is the phase

t is the time

The displacement of the piston in the problem is given by

$x(t) = (5.00 cm) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})$ (2)

By putting t=0 in the formula, we find the position of the piston at t=0:

$x(0) = (5.00 cm) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=4.06 cm$

(b) -14.69 cm/s

In a simple harmonic motion, the velocity is equal to the derivative of the displacement. Therefore:

$v(t) = x'(t) = -\omega A sin (\omega t + \phi)$ (3)

Differentiating eq.(2), we find

$v(t) = x'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(5.00 cm) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(25.0 cm/s) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})$

And substituting t=0, we find the velocity at time t=0:

$v(0)=-(25.00 cm/s) sin (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-14.69 cm/s$

(c) -101.13 cm/s^2

In a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is equal to the derivative of the velocity. Therefore:

$a(t) = v'(t) = -\omega^2 A cos (\omega t + \phi)$

Differentiating eq.(3), we find

$a(t) = v'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(25.00 cm/s) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(125.0 cm/s^2) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})$

And substituting t=0, we find the acceleration at time t=0:

$a(0)=-(125.00 cm/s) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-101.13 cm/s^2$

(d) 5.00 cm, 1.26 s

By comparing eq.(1) and (2), we notice immediately that the amplitude is

A = 5.00 cm

For the period, we have to start from the relationship between angular frequency and period T:

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

Using $\omega = 5.0 rad/s$ and solving for T, we find

$T=\frac{2\pi}{5 rad/s}=1.26 s$

How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the o

melisa1 [442]

Question:

A spaceship enters the solar system moving toward the Sun at a constant speed relative to the Sun. By its own clock, the time elapsed between the time it crosses the orbit of Jupiter and the time it crosses the orbit of Mars is 35.0 minutes

How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the orbit of Mars is 12.6 light-minutes.

Answer:

S = 5.508 × 10¹¹m

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the orbit of Jupiter, Rj is 43.2 light-minutes

radius of the orbit of Mars, Rm is 12.6 light-minutes

Distance travelled S = (Rj - Rm)

= 43.2 - 12.6 = 30.6 light- minutes

= 30.6 × (3 ×10⁸m/s) × 60 s

= 5.508 × 10¹¹m

time = 35mins = (35 × 60 secs)

= 2100 secs

speed = distance/time

V = 5.508 × 10¹¹m / 2100 s

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

Which statement best describes the difference between ultraviolet light and infrared light

lys-0071 [83]

The infrared (IR) and the ultraviolet(UV) represent the two extremities of the visible spectrum (400-700nm). While IR represents electromagnetic radiation
with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, UV represents wavelengths
shorter than visible light.
