Debora [2.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

f = 0.2 Hz, v = 2.4 m/s

v = f x λ

Where, λ is the wavelength

λ = v / f = 2.4 / 0.2 = 12 m

The wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

So, the distance between two consecutive crests is 12 m.

An object oscillates with an angular frequency of 8.0 rad/s. At t = 0, the object is at x0 = 4 cm with an initial velocity v0 =
KatRina [158]

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 passenger at an airport pulls a rolling suitcase by its handle. If the force used is 10 N and the handle makes an angle of 25
Deffense [45]

Answer:

W= 1812.6 J

Explanation:

Work (W) is defined as the scalar product of force F by the distance (d) the body travels due to this force.  

W= F*d* cosα Formula ( 1)

Where:

F is the force in Newtons (N)

d is the displacemente in meters (m)

α : Angle formed between force and displacement

Data

F = 10 N

d = 200 m

α = 25°

Work done by the pulling force while the passenger walks 200 m

We replace data in the formula (1)

W= F*d* cosα

W= (10 N)*(200 m)* cos25°

W= 1812.6 (N*m)

W= 1812.6 J

Suppose an automobile has a kinetic energy
enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Kinetic energy of an automobile is 2300J

K.E = 2300J

The formula for kinetic energy is

K.E = ½mv²

So, if the speed of the automobile is increased by 6, what is the kinetic energy

Now v' = 6v.

The mass of the automobile is constant.

Therefore, the kinetic energy is

K.E' = ½mv'²

Where v' = 6v

K.E' = ½m(6v)²

K.E' = ½m × 36v²

K.E' = 36 × ½mv²

Where, from above ½mv² = 2300J

Then,

K.E' = 36 × 2300 = 82,800J

The kinetic energy of the automobile when it increase it's speed is 82,800J

A wave travels at a constant speed. How does the wavelength change if the frequency is reduced by a factor of 4?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always the same number ... the wave's speed.  

So if the wavelength is somehow reduced to  1/4  its original length, the frequency is immediately multiplied by 4 .  That's the only way their product can remain the same.
