Two sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the positive x-direction, both having amplitudes of 7.00 cm, a wave number o

f k=3.00m−1, an angular frequency of ω=2.50s−1, and a period of 6.00 s, but one has a phase shift of an angle ϕ=π12rad. What is the height of the resultant wave at a time t=2.00s and a position x=0.53m?

Answer:

0.99 m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Amplitude, A = 7.00cm

Wave number, k = 3.00m^-1

Angular Frequency, ω = 2.50Hz

Period = 6.00 s

Phase, ϕ = π/12 rad

Note: All parameters are the same for both waves except the phase.

Wave 1 has a wave function:

y1(x, t) = Asin(kx - ωt)

y1(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t)

Wave 2 has a wave function:

y2(x, t) = Asin(kx - ωt + ϕ)

y2(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)

π is in radians.

When Superposition occurs, the new wave is represented by:

y(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t) + 7sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)

y(x, t) = 7[sin(3x - 2.5t) + sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)]

Using trigonometric function:

sin(a) + sin(b) = 2cos[(a - b)/2]sin[(a + b)/2]

Where a = 3x - 2.5t, b = 3x - 2.5t + π/12

We have that:

y(x, t) = (2*7)[cos(π/24)sin(3x - 2.5t + π/24)]

Therefore, when x = 0.53cm and t = 2s,

y(x, t) = (2*7)[cos(π/24)sin{(3*0.53) - (2.5*2)+ π/24}]

y(x, t) = 14 * 0.9914 * 0.0713

y(x, t) = 0.99 m

The height of the resultant wave is 0.99cm

For a movie stunt, an empty truck with a mass of 2000 kg goes 10 m/s and runs into a stopped car of mass 1000 kg. the truck then

babunello [35]

ANSWER

Both trucks will move together with speed v = 6.67 m/s

so correct answer will be

The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.

EXPLANATION

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two trucks

So here momentum of the two trucks before collision and after collision will remain same

So here we will have

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

so here we will have

$v_{1i} = 10 m/s$

$v_{2i} = 0$

$m_1 = 2000 kg$

$m_2 = 1000 kg$

now we will have

$2000\times 10 + 1000\times 0 = (2000 + 1000) v$

$v = \frac{20000}{3000} = 6.67 m/s$

so correct answer will be

The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.

A spring has a spring constant of 90N/m.How much potential energy does it store when stretched by 2 cm?

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The potential energy stored in the spring is 0.018 J.

Explanation:

Given;

spring constant, k = 90 N/m

extension of the spring, x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

The potential energy stored in the spring is calculated as;

U = ¹/₂kx²

where;

U is the potential energy stored in the spring

Substitute the given values in the equation above;

U = ¹/₂ x 90 N/m x (0.02 m)²

U = 0.018 J

Therefore, the potential energy stored in the spring is 0.018 J.

!WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!

vazorg [7]

As per angular momentum conservation we can say

$L_i = L_f$

here we know that

$mv_1r_1 = mv_2r_2$

we know that

$v_1 = 1.1 m/s$

$r_1 = 0.6 m$

$v_2 = ?$

$r_2 = 0.15 m$

now from above equation

$2(1.1)(0.6) = 2(v_2)(0.15)$

$v_2 = \frac{(1.1)(0.6)}{0.15}$

$v_2 = 4.4 m/s$

so speed is 4.4 m/s

Why does a bouncing ball rise to a lower height with each bounce?

grandymaker [24]

Because after each impact it loses a fraction of its original energy, because it gets transfered to the floor. this is the reason that a perpetual motion machine is impossible. you cannot have infinite energy, because to perform a task, energy must be spent. hope i helped :3

a 1.2 kg rocket is launched from ground level with initial velocity of 12 m/s. What is the maximum height the rocket can reach?

Tanzania [10]

As the rocket is launched from the ground its height will go on increasing till it stops

So the height of rocket will be maximum when its speed becomes zero

so here we can use energy conservation theory

$PE = KE$

$mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$9.8*H = \frac{1}{2}*12^2$

$H = 7.35 m$

So it will reach upto height 7.35 m
