Answer:

Period of the signal.

Explanation:

So, this question is all about a concept in physics or astronomy which is called or known as Radiation Astronomy and Galactic Nuclei that are active. This concept talks most about Quasars; a powerful radiating object which derives its power from black holes.

When You take a look at Quasars, we get the to know that the more you think you can see, the more they move away from us.

Thus, when "You are observing the radiation from a distant active galaxy and you notice that the amplitude of the signal varies in strength regularly over a certain period. The maximum possible size for the source of this radiation can now be calculated from the "PERIOD OF THE SIGNAL.

NB: not the amplitude but the period.

A simple harmonic wave of wavelength 18.7 cm and amplitude 2.34 cm is propagating along a string in the negative x-direction at
storchak [24]

Answer

given,

wavelength = λ = 18.7 cm

                    = 0.187 m

amplitude , A = 2.34 cm

v = 0.38 m/s

A)  angular frequency = ?

     f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

     f = \dfrac{0.38}{0.187}

     f =2.03\ Hz

angular frequency ,

ω = 2π f

ω = 2π x 2.03

ω = 12.75 rad/s

B) the wave number ,

      K = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

     K= \dfrac{2\pi}{0.187}

    K =33.59\ m^{-1}

C)

as the wave is propagating in -x direction, the sign is positive between x and t

y ( x ,t) = A sin(k  x - ω t)

y ( x ,t) = 2.34  x  sin(33.59 x - 12.75 t)

a body of a mass 1kg suspended from a spring is found to stretch the spring by 10cm. (A) what is the spring constant? what is pe
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

(A) The spring constant is <u>98 N/m.</u>

(B) The period of oscillation is <u>0.635 s.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the body is, m=1\ kg

Extension length of the spring is, x=10\ cm=0.1\ m

Now, let 'k' be the spring constant.

The force acting on the body is due to gravity only and is equal to its weight.

So, weight of the body is given as:

F_g=mg\\F_g=1\times 9.8\\F_g=9.8\ N

Now, we know that for a spring-mass system, the net force acting on the body is equal to the product of the spring constant and extension length. Therefore,

F_g=kx\\9.8=k(0.1)\\k=\frac{9.8}{0.1}=98\ N/m

Hence, the spring constant is 98 N/m.

(B)

Period of oscillation of a body of spring-mass system in SHM is given as:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Plug in the given values and solve for period 'T'. This gives,

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{1}{98}}\\T=2\pi\times 0.101\\T=0.635\ s

Therefore, the period of oscillation is 0.635 s.

A 0.10 kg meter stick is held perpendicular to a vertical wall by a 2.5 mm string going from the wall to the far end of the stic
il63 [147K]

Explanation:

a)

Sum of moments = 0 (Equilibrium)

T . cos (Q)*L = m*g*L/2

cos Q = \frac{\sqrt{(2.5^2 - L^2) } }{2.5}

T*\frac{\sqrt{(2.5^2 - L^2) } }{2.5} * L = 0.1 *9.81*L/2

T = \frac{2.4525}{\sqrt{(2.5)^2 - L^2} }

b) If the String is shorter the Q increases; hence, Cos Q decreases which in turn increases Tension in the string due to inverse relationship!

c)

T = \frac{1.962}{\sqrt{(2)^2 - L^2} }

Two-out-of-tune flutes play the same note. One produces a tone that has a frequency of 250 Hz, while the other produces 266 Hz.
Andru [333]

Answer:

 x = 259 Hz

Explanation:

given,

frequency of one tuning fork = 250 Hz

frequency of another tuning fork = 266 Hz

when a tuning fork is sounded together beat frequency heard = 9

 let x be the frequency of unknown

 x - 250 = 9 Hz..............(1)

 x = 259 Hz

when a another tuning fork is sounded together beat frequency heard = 7

266 - x  = 7 Hz..............(2)

 x = 259 Hz

now, on solving both the equation the frequency comes out to be 259 Hz.

so, The frequency of the tuning fork is equal to 259 Hz
