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)

two forces A and B act on an object in opposite directions. A is bigger than B. What is the net force acting on an object?
Akimi4 [234]
Imagine a block with A pulling one way and B the other.

If A is bigger than B then obviously it will go in the direction of A.

The net force will be A-B as A is pulling it along with x but b is also pulling back with y.

One mole of an unknown sample contains 120 g of carbon and 30.3 g of
barxatty [35]

atomic mass of carbon is C = 12 g/mol

atomic mass of hydrogen is H = 1 g/mol

now number of carbon atoms

N_c = \frac{120}{12} = 10

Similarly the number of hydrogen atoms are

N_H = \frac{30.3}{1} = 30

so Carbon atom and hydrogen atom must be in ratio of 10:30

so the ratio is 1:3

now the empirical formula is always in simplest form

What should you do if you discover food is being stored at the wrong temperatures?
Pavel [41]
If a food worker realizes that food is being kept at the incorrect temperature, he or she should immediately report it to their manager and politely request the customer to allow them some time to remake their order because it has been messed up.

The USFDA requires that hot foods should be held at 57 °C (135 °F) or above in order to ensure safety.
