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

If 2000 kg cannon fires 2 kg projectile having muzzle velocity 200 m/s then the KINETIC ENERGY of the CANNON will be ("E4" means
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

M V = m v        conservation of momentum (Caps-cannon  Small-projectile)

V = m / M * V = 2 / 2000 * 200 m/s = .2 m/s    recoil velocity of cannon

KE = 1/2 M V^2 = 2000 / 2 kg * (.2 m/s)^2  = 40 kg m^2/s^2 = 40 J

Inside most ball-point pens is a small spring that compresses as the pen is pressed against the paper. If a force of 0.1 N compr
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

20 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The ball-point pen obays hook's law.

From hook's law,

F = ke............................ Equation 1

Where F = Force, k = spring constant, e = compression.

Make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e........................ Equation 2

Given: F = 0.1 N, e = 0.005 m.

Substitute these values into equation 2

k = 0.1/0.005

k = 20 N/m.

Hence the spring constant of the tiny spring is 20 N/m

Explain the role of energy in changes <br> of state.
slava [35]
A liquid requires enthalpy of vaporization to transform into vapor or gas at its boiling point.  Here the element absorbs heat from surroundings or heat source.

This energy is used in breaking the forces of attraction among the atoms and molecules of the element. The molecules get separated to higher distances. The energy is converted in to the kinetic energy of the molecules in gaseous form and into the internal energy in terms of the temperature of the gas.

"What is the magnifying power of an astronomical telescope using a reflecting mirror whose radius of curvature is 5.9 m and an e
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The Magnifying power of a telescope is M = 109.26

Explanation:

Radius of curvature R = 5.9 m = 590 cm

focal length of objective f_{objective} = \frac{R}{2}

⇒ f_{objective} = \frac{590}{2}

⇒ f_{objective} = 295 cm

Focal length of eyepiece f_{eyepiece} = 2.7 cm

Magnifying power of a telescope is given by,

M = \frac{f_{objective} }{f_{eyepiece} }

M = \frac{295}{2.7}

M = 109.26

therefore the Magnifying power of a telescope is M = 109.26
