The vertical displacement of an ocean wave is described by the function, y = A sin(ωt - kx). k is called the wave number (k = 2π

/λ) and has a value of k = 18 rad/m. The remaining values are A = 9.5 m and ω = 14.5 rad/s.
a) Using y = A sin(B), input an expression for B where the wave would be traveling in the -x-direction. sig.gif?tid=7M79-31-9F-4E-8624-20536

b) What is the wave's velocity in m/s?

c) What is the wave's amplitude in m?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) y = A sin(B)  ; here B is the phase of the wave which moves so that it remains constant

ωt - kx = constant

differentiating on both sides

ωdt - kdx =0

ωdt =   kdx

dx / dt = ω / k

wave velocity = ω / k

b ) ω = 14.5 rad / s ,

k = 18 rad / m

wave velocity = ω / k

= 14.5 / 18

= .805 m /s

80.5 cm / s

c )

Amplitude = A

= 9.5 m

What is the difference between the spectrum of an incandescent solid and the spectrum of an incandescent gas?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

ncandescent solids emit continuous spectra; incandescent gases emit bright-line spectra.

Explanation:

Materials when heated emit a continuous spectrum with all wavelengths.

Hot gas gases emit a spectrum that depends on the transitions between atomic states, therefore it is a discrete spectrum.

When reviewing the answers, the correct one is:

ncandescent solids emit continuous spectra; incandescent gases emit bright-line spectra.

A rod 14.0 cm long is uniformly charged and has a total charge of 222.0 mc. determine (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of
Yuri [45]

Electric field due to a charged rod along its axis is given by

E = \frac{kQ}{(L+r)(r)}

here we know that

L = 14 cm

r = distance from end of rod

r = 36 - 7 = 29 cm

Q = 222 mC

now we will have

E = \frac{(9 \times 10^9)(222 \times 10^{-3})}{(0.29)(0.43)}

E = 1.6 \times 10^{10} N/C

IBM has a computer it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do 136.8 teracalculations per second. How many calculations can it do in a
Norma-Jean [14]
There are 1,000,000 micro seconds in one second so multiple 136.8 by 1000000 and you'll get 136,800,000 Tera calculations per second.

How do inertia and centripetal force combine to keep an object moving in circular motion?

A figure skater skates across a rink of length 50 m in 12.1 seconds. a. What is the average speed of the skater? (2 points) b. I
melamori03 [73]
(a) The skater covers a distance of S=50 m in a time of t=12.1 s, so its average speed is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{50 m}{12.1 s}=4.13 m/s

(b) The initial speed of the skater is
v_i = 4 m/s
while the final speed is
v_f = 5.3 m/s
and the time taken to accelerate to this velocity is t=2 s, so the acceleration of the skater is given by
a= \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}= \frac{5.3 m/s-4.0 m/s}{2.0 s}=0.65 m/s^2

(c) The initial speed of the skater is 
v_i = 13.0 m/s
while the final speed is 
v_f=0
since she comes to a stop. The distance covered is S=8 m, so we can use the following relationship to find the acceleration of the skater:
2aS=v_f^2 -v_i^2
from which we find
a= \frac{-v_i^2}{2S}= \frac{-(13.0m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 8.0 m}=-10.6 m/s^2
where the negative sign means it is a deceleration.
