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)

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

A ball hits the ground and the ground pushes up on it

Explanation:

Newton's third law basically states that for every action, there's a reaction.

a ball hitting the ground would be the action. the ground pushing up on it with the same force is the reaction.

Hope this Helps!!! :)

What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?
morpeh [17]
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.

A car started from a rest and accelerated at 9.54 m/s2 for 6.5 seconds. How much distance was covered by the car?
ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

S =ut + 1/2at^2

S = 0×6.5 + (1/2 × 9.54) × 6.5^2

S =0 + 4.77 ×42.25

S=201.5m
