Show which of the following functional forms work or do not work as solutions to this differential equation (known as 'the wave

equation'). Cheek the possible solution listed below and show mathematically how you know the solution works or not. E(x, t) = A cos(Bt) E(x, t) =A cos(Bt + C) E(x, t) = Ax^2t^2 E(x, t) = A cos (Bx + Ct) E(x, t) = A cos(Bx + Ct + D) For the ones that will work as a solution, figure out what constraints, if any, there are on the values for the constants A, B, C, and D. Note that when taking a partial derivative with respect to x or t, you only differentiate with respect to the one variable, ignoring the other as if it is a constant.

Answer:

E = A cos (Bx + Ct) and E = A cos (Bx + Ct + D)

Explanation:

The wave equation is

           d²y / dx² = 1 /v²  d²y / dt²

Where v is the speed of the wave

Let's review the solutions

In this case y = E

a) E = A sin Bt

 This cannot be a solution because the part in x is missing

      dE / dx = 0

b) E = A cos (Bt + c)

There is no solution missing the Part in x

         dE / dx = 0

c) E = A x² t²

The parts are fine, but this solution is not an oscillating wave, so it is not an acceptable solution of the wave equation

d) E = A cos (Bx + Ct) and E = A cos (Bx + Ct + D)

Both are very similar

Let's make the derivatives

       dE / dx = -A B sin (Bx + Ct + D)

      d²E / dx² = -A B² cos (Bx + Ct + D)

      dE / dt = - A C sin (Bx + Ct + D)

      d²E / dt² = -A C² cos (Bx + Ct + D)

We substitute in the wave equation

      -A B² cos (Bx + Ct + D) = 1 / v² (-A C² cos (Bx + Ct + D))

       B² = 1 / v² (C²)

       v² = (C / B)²

       v = C / B

We see that the two equations can be a solution to the wave equation, the last one is the slightly more general solution

A sample of argon gas (molar mass 40 g) is at four times the absolute temperature of a sample of hydrogen gas (molar mass 2 g).
qaws [65]

To solve this problem, let us recall that the formula for gases assuming ideal behaviour is given as:

rms = sqrt (3 R T / M)

where

R = gas constant = 8.314 Pa m^3 / mol K

T = temperature

M = molar mass

Now we get the ratios of rms of Argon (1) to hydrogen (2):

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (3 R T1 / M1) / sqrt (3 R T2 / M2)

or

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt ((T1 / M1) / (T2 / M2))

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (T1 M2 / T2 M1)

Since T1 = 4 T2

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 T2 M2 / T2 M1)

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 M2 / M1)

and M2 = 2 while M1 = 40

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 * 2 / 40)

rms1 / rms2 = 0.447

 

Therefore the ratio of rms is:

<span>rms_Argon / rms_Hydrogen = 0.45</span>

An AC adapter for a telephone answering machine uses a transformer to reduce the line voltage of 120 V to a voltage of 5.00 V. T
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

35

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial voltage,V_1=120 V

Final voltage, V_2=5 V

Number of tuns in primary coil of the transformer, N_p=840

Rms current, I_{rms}=580mA=580\times 10^{-3} A

1 mA=10^{-3} A

We have to find the number of turns  are there on the secondary coil.

We know that

\frac{N_s}{N_p}=\frac{V_2}{V_1}

Using the formula

\frac{N_s}{840}=\frac{5}{120}

N_s=\frac{5}{120}\times 840=35

Hence, there are  number of turns on the secondary coil=35
