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

What is the principle of potentiometer?​
kupik [55]

Answer:

The principle of a potentiometer is that the potential dropped across a segment of a wire of uniform cross-section carrying a constant current is directly proportional to its length. The potentiometer is a simple device used to measure the electrical potentials (or compare the e.m.f of a cell).

Where does the engery of an earthquake originate
allochka39001 [22]
From convection of magma under the earths crust makes the plates slowly move and as they move over time they build up potential energy from the different plates grinding against each other and after so long the plates will lose there grip on each other and release the potential energy they've been building up for so long as kinetic energy causing what you know as an earthquake hope this helps please give brainliest

The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The heat transferred into the system is 183.5 J.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on the system, through the following equations.

ΔU = Q - W

where;

ΔU  is the change in internal energy

Q is the heat transfer into the system

W is the work done by the system

Given;

ΔU = 155 J

W = 28.5 J

Q = ?

155 = Q - 28.5

Q = 155 + 28.5

Q = 183.5 J

Therefore, the heat transferred into the system is 183.5 J.
