Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.

Answer:

a) the propagation direction is x, b) E₀ = 125 N / C² , c) B = 41.67 10⁻⁸ T ,

d) f = 4.95 10¹¹ Hz, e) λ = 4.42 10⁻³ m, f) the speed of light ,

Explanation:

The equation they give for the sine wave is

E = 125 cos (14.2 10² x - 311.2 10¹¹ t)

This expression must have the general shape of a traveling wave

E = Eo cos (kx - wt + Ф)

we can equal each term between the two equations

a) the propagation direction is x, since it is the term that accompanies the vector k

b) the amplitude is the coefficient before the cosine function

E₀ = 125 N / C²

c) to find the amplitude of the magnetic field we use that the two fields are in phase

C = E / B

B = E / c

B = 125/3 10⁸

B = 41.67 10⁻⁸ T

d) the angular velocity is

w = 311.2 10¹¹ rad / s

angular velocity and frequencies are related

w = 2π f

f = w / 2π

f = 311.2 10¹¹ / 2π

f = 4.95 10¹¹ Hz

e) the wavelength is obtained from the wave number

k = 2π /λ

k = 14.2 10² rad / m

λ = 2π / k

λ = 2π / 14.2 10²

λ = 4.42 10⁻³ m

f) the speed of an electromagnetic wave is the speed of light

g) what is a transverse wave

Consider a particle moving along the x-axis where x(t) is the position of the particle at time t, x'(t) is its velocity, and x''

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

We know that the acceleration of the particle is defined as

$a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}$

Since it is given that

$v(t)=\frac{5}{\sqrt{t}}\\\\\therefore a(t)=\frac{d(\frac{5}{\sqrt{t}})}{dt}\\\\a(t)=5\times \frac{dt^{-\frac{1}{2}}}{dt}\\\\=\frac{-5}{2}t^{\frac{-1}{2}-1}\\\\\therefore a(t)=x''(t)=\frac{-2.5}{t^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Now by definition of velocity we have

$v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow dx(t)=v(t)dt$

Integrating on both sides we get

$v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\int dx(t)=\int v(t)dt\\\\x(t)=\int v(t)dt$

Applying values we get

$v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\int dx(t)=\int v(t)dt\\\\x(t)=\int \frac{5}{t^{\frac{1}{2}}}dt\\\\\therefore x(t)=\frac{5}{0.5}\int t^{-0.5}dt\\\\x(t)=10\sqrt{t}+c$

To find the constant we note that at t=1 the particle is at x=12 Thus applying values in the above equation we get

$c=12-10\\\therefore c=2\\\\x(t)=10\sqrt{t}+2$
