Two forces P and Q act on an object of mass 7.00 kg with Q being the larger of the two forces. When both forces are directed to

the left, the magnitude of the acceleration of the object is 1.30 m/s2. However, when the force P is directed to the left and the force Q is directed to the right, the object has an acceleration of 0.600 m/s2 to the right. Find the magnitudes of the two forces P and Q in newtons.

Answer:

P = 2.45 N

Q = 6.65 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law:

Unbalanced Force = ma

where,

m = mass = 7 kg

a = acceleration

In the first case when both forces P and Q act on left side:

Unbalanced Force = P + Q

a = 1.3 m/s²

Therefore,

P + Q = (7 kg)(1.3 m/s²)

P + Q = 9.1 N   ------------------------- equation 1

Now, in second case when both forces have different directions:

Unbalanced Force = Greater Force - Smaller Force

Unbalanced Force = Q - P

a = 0.6 m/s²

Therefore,

Q - P = (7 kg)(0.6 m/s²)

Q - P = 4.2 N   ------------------- equation 2

Adding equation 1 and equation 2, we get:

(Q + P) + (Q - P) = 9.1 N + 4.2 N

2 Q = 13.3 N

<u>Q = 6.65 N</u>

Using this value in equation 2, we get:

6.65 N - P = 4.2 N

<u>P = 2.45 N</u>

(a) Write an equation describing a sinusoidal transverse wave traveling on a cord in the positive of a y axis with an angular wa
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Missing data: the wave number

k=60 cm^{-1}

(a)  z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)

For a transverse wave travelling in the positive y-direction and with vibration along the z-direction, the equation of the wave is

z = A sin (ky-\omega t)

where

A is the amplitude of the wave

k is the wave number

\omega is the angular frequency

t is the time

In this situation:

A = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m is the amplitude

k = 60 cm^{-1} = 6000 m^{-1} is the wave number

T = 0.20 s is the period, so the angular frequency is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.20}=31.4 rad/s

So, the wave equation (in meters) is

z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)

(b) 0.094 m/s

For a transverse wave, the transverse speed is equal to the derivative of the displacement of the wave, so in this case:

v_t = z' = -A \omega cos (ky-\omega t)

So the maximum transverse wave occurs when the cosine term is equal to 1, therefore the maximum transverse speed must be

v_{t}_{max} =\omega A

where

\omega = 31.4 rad/s\\A = 0.003 m

Substituting,

v_{t}_{max}=(31.4)(0.003)=0.094 m/s

(c) 5.24 mm/s

The wave speed is given by

v=f \lambda

where

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

The frequency can be found from the angular frequency:

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{31.4}{2\pi}=5 Hz

While the wavelength can be found from the wave number:

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{6000}=1.05\cdot 10^{-3} m

Therefore, the wave speed is

v=(5)(1.05\cdot 10^{-3} )=5.24 \cdot 10^{-3} m/s = 5.24 mm/s
