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

Andrew shakes a rope, and the rope makes a wave as shown.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: Option C. Is the correct answer.

Explanation: Wave length is the distance between the crest of each wave. If you were to decrease it you would be decreasing the distance between each wave therefore making it smaller and closer together as option C. shows.

Explain ways that weak and strong nuclear forces are alike.
larisa [96]
They both use messenger particles to carry the force. Gluons for the strong force and W and Z for the weak. And both sets of particles solely with the sub atomic particles of the nuclei: quarks and neutrinos. That is, their range is limited to the nuclei of the atoms and the ions.

What is the amplitude of an AC voltage waveform, in units of Volts, if the RMS value is 369 V?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

521.8 V

Explanation:

The RMS value of the voltage of an AC signal is given by

V_{rms}=\frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}}

where

V_0 is the peak voltage, which corresponds to the amplitude of the AC waveform

In this problem, we know the RMS voltage

V_{rms}=369 V

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the peak voltage (the amplitude of the waveform):

V_0 = \sqrt{2}V_{rms}=\sqrt{2}(369 V)=521.8 V

All of the planets stay near the ecliptic as they move on the Celestial Sphere
stellarik [79]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As the Earth goes around the Sun, it will appear that Earth is stationary and Sun is going around it. One can observe the same in real life as well. This apparent path followed by the Sun is called Ecliptic. The plane consisting Ecliptic is called as Ecliptic plane which is same as the orbital plane of Earth.

All the planets of the Solar system are also going around the Sun. Their orbital plane has negligible tilt with respect to Ecliptic plane. Due to this the planets will always appear near to the Ecliptic as they move on the celestial sphere.
