A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the

maximum particle speed (the speed with which a single particle in the cord moves transverse to the wave) to the wave speed.

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, y_{m} = 8.4\ cm

Wavelength, \lambda = 5.3\ cm

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega

where

\omega = 2\pi f = angular speed of the particle

Thus

v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

v = f\lambda

Now,

The ratio is given by:

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95

The drawing shows a bicycle wheel resting against a small step whose height is h = 0.110 m. The weight and radius of the wheel a
Pavel [41]

Answer:

F=27.39N

Explanation:

Take sum of torques at the point the step touches the wheel, that eliminates two torques

ΣT=T_{N}+T_{f}+T_{W}

Since we are looking for when the wheel just starts to rise up N-> 0 so no torque due to normal force

T_{N}=0

The perpendicular lever arm for the F force is R-h

T_{f}=F*(r-h)

And the T of gravity according to the image

T_{W}=W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}

ΣT=0

T_{N}+T_{f}+T_{W}=0

F*(r-h)+W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}=0

F=\frac{W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}}{r-h}

F=\frac{24.9 N*(\sqrt{0.336^2-(0.336-0.110)^2}}{(0.336-0.11)}

F=27.39N

They'll still be magnets, but they'll never be able to touch each other where they were cut.

A 40-kg rock is dropped from an elevation of 10 m. What is the velocity of the rock when it is 5-m from the ground?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock m=40\ kg

Elevation of Rock h=10\ m

Distance traveled by rock with time

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, u=initial velocity

t=time

a=acceleration

here initial velocity is zero

when rock is 5 m from ground then it has traveled a distance of 5 m from top because total height is 10 m

5=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(t^2)

t^2=\frac{10}{9.8}

t=1.004\approx 1\ s

velocity at this time

v=u+at

v=0+9.8\times 1.004

v=9.83\ m/s

Why does a rolling sphere slows down?​
Iteru [2.4K]
There’s frictional force acting on the sphere, which causes it to gradually slow down, and eventually come to a stop.

What is the difference between resilience and modulus of resilience
pshichka [43]
<span>Resilience is the amount of energy that can be put into a volume of material and still be stored elastically. ie When the energy goes away, the material regains its undeformed shape. The Mod of R is the amount that can be stored by a unit volume of that material. The Mod of R is heavily related to Youngs Modulus.</span>
