Answer:

\phi = 0.66 rad

A = 5.06 cm

Explanation:

We have here a simple harmonic motion, so the equation of the position in this motion is:  

x(t)=Acos(\omega t+\phi) (1)

A: Amplitude

ω: angular frequency

φ: phase constant

If we take the derivative of x with respect to t from (1), we can find the velocity equation of this motion:

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}=-A\omega sin(\omega t+\phi) (2)

Let's evaluate (1) and (2) in t=0.

x(0)=Acos(\phi) (3)

v(0)=-A\omega sin(\phi) (4)

Dividing 4 by 3 we have:

\frac{v(0)}{x(0)}=-\omega tan(\phi)

\phi = tan^{-1}(\frac{-v(0)}{\omega x(0)})

\phi = 0.66 rad

Now, using (3) we can find the amplitude.

A = \frac{x(0)}{cos(\phi)} = 5.06 cm

I hope it helps!

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe
KIM [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately.

A tightrope walker more easily balances on a tightwire if his pole
cestrela7 [59]
B) droops.

Why?
To maintain balance, you do not need something short so you're balanced well... You need something long and droopy to maintain balance. The pole should be held by your waist and it should be light.

Hope this helps!~
