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)

alexandr1967 [171]

Work is calculated as the product of Force, Distance, and angular motion. In this case, the work done by gravity is perpendicular to the motion of the cart, so θ = 90°

 and W=Fdcosθ

W=35.0 N x 20.0 m x cos90

W=0 J

This means that work done perpendicular to the direction of the motion is always zero.

Please help on this one?

I believe that it is d correct me if wrong because the higher the temperature the more active the molecules are gonna be, but the graph does not explicitly state that, so you can say the answer is d (if not the answer is c) (sorry if wrong)
