A thin taut string is fixed at both ends and stretched along the horizontal x-axis with its left end at x = 0. It is vibrating i

n its third OVERTONE, and the equation for the vertical displacement of any point on the string is y(x,t) = (1.22 cm) sin[(14.4 m-1)x] cos[(166 rad/s)t]. (a) What are the frequency and wavelength of the fundamental mode of this string? (b) How long is the string? (c) How fast do waves travel on this string?

Answer:

(a) Wavelength is 0.436 m

(b) Length is 0.872 m

(c) 11.518 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

The eqn of the displacement is given by:

y(x, t) = (1.22 cm)sin[14.4 m^{- 1}x]cos[(166\ rad/s)t]          (1)

n = 4

Now,

We know the standard eqn is given by:

y = AsinKxcos\omega t           (2)

Now, on comparing eqn (1) and (2):

A = 1.22 cm

K = 14.4 m^{- 1}

\omega = 166\ rad/s

where

A = Amplitude

K = Propagation constant

\omega = angular velocity

Now, to calculate the string's wavelength,

(a) K = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}

where

K = propagation vector

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{K}

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{14.4} = 0.436\ m

(b) The length of the string is given by:

l = \frac{n\lambda}{2}

l = \frac{4\times 0.436}{2} = 0.872\ m

(c)  Now, we first find the frequency of the wave:

\omega = 2\pi f

f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}

f = \frac{2\pi}{166} = 26.42\ Hz

Now,

Speed of the wave is given by:

v = f\lambda

v = 26.419\times 0.436 = 11.518\ m/s

A compound is made up of two or more of what?
jolli1 [7]
A compound is made up of two or more of atoms that are bonded together with each other via a chemical bonding. It is possible to break the compounds into separate smaller components by the process of chemical reaction. One very simple example of compound is water as it is made of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Whenever atoms are joined together to create a compound, the atoms definitely loose their individual atomic properties. Other very commonly found compound is carbon dioxide. It is made up of one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.

Object A of mass 0.70 kg travels horizontally on a frictionless surface at 20 m/s. It collides with object B, which is initially
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

25.71 kgm/s

Explanation:

Let K₁ and K₂ be the initial and final kinetic energies of object A and v₁ and v₂ its initial and final speeds.

Given that K₂ = 0.7K₁

1/2mv₂² = 0.7(1/2mv₁²)

v₂ = √0.7v₁ = √0.7 × 20 m/s = ±16.73 m/s

Since A rebounds, its velocity = -16.73 m/s and its momentum change, p₂ = mΔv = m(v₂ - v₁) = 0.7 kg (-16.73 - 20) m/s = 0.7( -36.73) = -25.71 kgm/s.

Th magnitude of object A's momentum change is thus 25.71 kgm/s
