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

If earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of earth would be:________
siniylev [52]

If the earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of the earth would be V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}.

<h3>What is an escape velocity?</h3>

The ratio of the object's travel distance over a specific period of time is known as its velocity. As a vector quantity, the velocity requires both the magnitude and the direction. the slowest possible speed at which a body can break out of the gravitational pull of a certain planet or another object.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity of earth is given below:-

V_e=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{r}}

Given that earth's mass was half its actual value but its radius stayed the same. The escape velocity will be calculated as below:-

V_e=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{r\times 2}}

V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}.

Therefore, If the earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of the earth would be V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}.

a spaceship, at rest in a certain reference frame s, is given a speed increment of 0.500c. it is then given a further 0.500c inc
bezimeni [28]

In order to give a spaceship at rest in a specific reference frame s a speed increment of 0.500c, seven increments are required. Then, in this new frame, it receives an additional 0.500c increment.

The speed of an object, also known as v in kinematics, is a scalar quantity that refers to the size of the change in that object's position over time or the size of the change in that object's position per unit of time. The distance travelled by an object in a certain period of time divided by the length of the period gives the object's average speed in that period.

The spacecraft moves at v1 = 0.5c after the initial increment.The equation becomes V2 = V+V1/1+V*V1/c after the second one. 2 V2 = 0.5c+0.50c/1+(0.50c)^2/c^ 2 = 0.80c

Likewise, V3 = 0.929c

V4 = 0.976c

V5 = 0.992c

V6 = 0.99c

V7 = 0.999c

n electromagnetic wave in vacuum has an electric field amplitude of 611 V/m. Calculate the amplitude of the corresponding magnet
enot [183]

Answer:

The  corresponding  magnetic field is  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The electric field amplitude is  E_o   =  611\  V/m

   

Generally the  magnetic  field amplitude is  mathematically represented as

              B_o  =  \frac{E_o }{c }

Where c is the speed of light with a constant value

         c = 3.0 *0^{8} \ m/s

So  

        B_o   =  \frac{611 }{3.0*10^{8}}

         B_o   =  2.0 4 *10^{-6} \  Vm^{-2} s

Since 1  T  is  equivalent to  V  m^{-2} \cdot  s

         B_o  =  2.0 4 *10^{-6} \ T
