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)

Why does the cannon move backward when the cannon ball is shot?
seropon [69]

Answer:

This came to mind

Explanation:

when a cannon fires (in real life or in the movies) have noticed that the cannon recoils, sliding backwards after the explosion. Again, a non-zero net force on the cannon changes its momentum.

Measuring the diameter of a specific object might include which pair of SI units
VLD [36.1K]

Well, the diameter of a circle is simply a length, so your measurement will have units of length.  We just have to find an answer that has only units of length.

A).  gram, second . . . mass and time.  That can't be it.

B).  kilogram, ampere . . . mass and current.  That can't be it.

C).  centimeter, meter . . . both lengths. This one is looking good.

D).  candela, mole . . . light intensity and some chemical thing. That can't be it.

So it can't be anything else on this list but <em>C</em> .

A 55 kg roller skater is at rest on a flat skating rink, a 198 N horizontal force is needed to set the skater in motion.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

To get the person Moving you have to overcome the static (means not moving) friction coefficient.  U(static)

To get the person going at the same speed you have to overcome the kinetic friction coefficient. U(Kinetic)

Force to get him moving is 198 N.   Force = ma = U(static)Mg

combining the 2 equations you get 198N = U(static)* 55kg *9.8m/s^2   Solve for U(static)

Same equation to keep him moving except with the dynamic force and the dynamic U

 

175N=  U(kinetic)*55kg*9.8m/s^2  Solve (U dynamic)

Which of the statements best describes density?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

a.The mass that a mole of substance has, measured in grams per mole.  Density is not measure in moles, so this is not the correct answer.

b.The amount of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in moles per liter.  The substance dissolved in a liquid must be measure in grams not in moles, so this answer is incorrect.

c.The mass of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in grams per milliliter.  I think that this definition is correct but is incomple, so this answer is wrong.

d.The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume, measured in grams per milliliter and also equivalent to grams per cubic centimeter. This is the right description to density, so this is the correct answer.
