Wave motion is characterized by two velocities: the velocity with which the wave moves in the medium (e.g., air or a string) and

the velocity of the medium (the air or the string itself). Consider a transverse wave traveling in a string. The mathematical form of the wave is y(x,t)=Asin(kx−ωt).
a)Find the velocity of propagation v_p of this wave.

Express the velocity of propagation in terms of some or all of the variables A, k, and omega.

b)Find the y velocity v_y(x,t) of a point on the string as a function of x and t.

Express the y velocity in terms of omega, A, k, x, and t.

Answer: a) v = ω /k, b) v = - ωAcos( kx −ωt)

Explanation:

y(x,t)=Asin(kx−ωt) defines the wave equation.

a)

We are asked to find wave speed (v)

Recall that v = fλ

From the wave equation above,

k = 2π/ λ where k is the wave number and λ is the wavelength, λ = 2π /k

ω = 2πf where f is the frequency and ω is the angular frequency.

f = ω/ 2π.

By substituting for λ and ω into the wave speed formulae, we have that

v =( ω/ 2π) × (2π /k)

v = ω/k

b)

y(x,t)=Asin(kx−ωt)

The first derivative of y with respect to x give the velocity (vy)

By using chain rule, we have that

v = dy/dt = A cos( kx −ωt) × (−ω)

v = - ωAcos( kx −ωt)

A ball on a string makes 25.0 revolutions in 9.37 s, in a circle radius 0.450 m. What is it’s velocity?
Sauron [17]

The velocity of the ball is 12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the ball is given by the ratio between the distance covered by the ball and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

First, we calculate the distance covered. We know that the radius of the circle is

r = 0.450 m

And the length of the circumference is

L=2\pi r = 2\pi(0.750)=4.7 m

The ball makes 25.0 revolutions, so a total distance of

d=(25.0)L=(25.0)(4.7)=117.5 m

In a time of

t = 9.37 s

So, its velocity is

v=\frac{117.5}{9.37}=12.5 m/s

Suppose someone pours 0.250 kg of 20.0ºC water (about a cup) into a 0.500-kg aluminum pan with a temperature of 150ºC. Assume th
Troyanec [42]

Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, 59.10^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of aluminium = 0.90J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g

m_2 = mass of water = 0.250 kg  = 250 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of aluminum = 150^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

500g\times 0.90J/g^oC\times (T_f-150)^oC=-250g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-20)^oC

T_f=59.10^oC

Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, 59.10^oC
