Answer:

  • Yes.

Explanation:

A particular solution for the 1D wave equation has the form

\Psi(x,t) \ = \ A \ sin ( \ k x \ + \omega t \ + \phi \ )

where A its the amplitude, k the wavenumber, ω the angular frequency and φ the phase angle.

Now, for any given position x_0, we can use:

\phi_0 \ = \ \phi \ + \ k x_0

so, the equation its:

\Psi(x_0,t) \ = \ A \ sin ( \omega t \ + \ \phi_0 ).

This is the equation for a simple harmonic oscillation!

So, for any given point, we can use a simple harmonic oscillation as visual model. Now, when we move a \delta distance from the original position, we got:

x_1 = x_0 + \delta

and

\phi_1 = \phi  \ + k x_1

now, this its

\phi_1 = \phi  \ + k ( x_0 + \delta)

\phi_1 = \phi  \ + k  x_0 + k \delta

\phi_1 = \phi_0 + k \delta

So, there its a phase angle difference of k \delta. We can model this simply by starting the simple harmonic oscillation with a different phase angle.

From the top of a cliff overlooking a lake, a person throws two stones. The two stones have identical initial speeds of v0 = 13.
Alina [70]

Answer:

X = 15.88 m

Explanation:

Given:

Initial Velocity V₀ = 13.4 m/s

θ = 30.1 °

g = 9.8 m/s²

To Find horizontal distance let "X" we have to time t first.

so from motion 2nd equation at Height h = 0

h = V₀y t + 1/2 (-g) t ²                                (ay = -g)

0 = 13.4 sin 30.1° t - 0.5 x 9.81 x t²           (V₀y = V₀ Sin θ)

⇒  t = 1.37 s

Now For Horizontal distance  X, ax =0m/s²

X = V₀x t + 1/2 (ax) t ²

X = 13.4 m × cos 30.1° x 1.37 s + 0

X = 15.88 m

I need help with the following three physics problems please!
omeli [17]
None of these is a Physics problem. The numbers, and the fractions that
they appear in, might have come from Physics problems, but these are
nothing more than arithmetic exercises, and they can be whipped out
in a hurry with a little bit of fancy calculator work.  You don't have to
know any Physics in order to answer any of these. 

The first one is 2.7 x 10⁻²⁴ Newton.

lawyer [7]

Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's third law. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on that system. Mathematically can be written as,

T = v\frac{dm}{dt}

Here,

v = speed of the exhaust gases measured relative to the rocket.

\frac{dm}{dt}= Rate of change of mass with respect to time

Our values are given as,

v = 1500m/s

\frac{dm}{dt} = 100kg/s

Replacing we have that

T = 1500*100

\therefore T = 1.5*10^5N
