Two particles oscillate in simple harmonic motion along a common straight-line segment of length 1.0 m. Each particle has a peri

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) the particles are 0.217 m apart

b) the particles are moving in the same direction.

Explanation:

a) The amplitude of the oscillations is A/2 and the period of each particle is

T = 1.5 s however, they differ by a phase of π/6 rad. Let the phase of the first particle be zero so that the phase of the second particle is π/6. So we can write the coordinates of each of the particles as,

x₁ = A/2 cos(ωt)

x₂ = A/2 cos(ωt + π/6)

we can write the angular frequency ω, as

ω = 2π / T

so,

x₁ = A/2 cos(2π / T)

x₂ = A/2 cos(2π / T + π/6)

Thus, the coordinates of the particles at t = 0.45 s are,

x₁ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5)) = -0.155 A

x₂ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5) + π/6) = -0.372 A

Their separation at that time is, therefore,

Δx = x₁ - x₂

= -0.155 A + 0.372 A

= 0.217 A

since A = 1 m

Thus,

Δx = 0.217 m

b) In order to find their directions, we must take the derivatives at t = 0.45 s.

Therefore,

v₁ = dx₁ / dt

= (-πA / T) sin(2πt / T)

= -(π(1) / 1.5) sin(2π(0.45) / 1.5)

= -1.99

and,

v₂ = dx₂ / dt

= (-πA / T) sin((2πt / T) + π/6)

= -(π(1) / 1.5) sin((2π(0.45) / 1.5) + π/6)

= -1.40

Since both v₁ and v₂ are negative, this shows that the particles are moving in the same direction.

A carbon rod with a radius of 1.9 mm is used to make a resistor. What length of the carbon rod should be used to make a 3.7 Ω re

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Length = 2.32 m

Explanation:

Let the length required be 'L'.

Given:

Resistance of the resistor (R) = 3.7 Ω

Radius of the rod (r) = 1.9 mm = 0.0019 m [1 mm = 0.001 m]

Resistivity of the material of rod (ρ) = $1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m$

First, let us find the area of the circular rod.

Area is given as:

$A=\pi r^2=3.14\times (0.0019)^2=1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2$

Now, the resistance of the material is given by the formula:

$R=\rho( \frac{L}{A})$

Express this in terms of 'L'. This gives,

$\rho\times L=R\times A\\\\L=\frac{R\times A}{\rho}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for length 'L'. This gives,

$L=\frac{3.7\ \Omega\times 1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2}{1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m}\\\\L=\frac{4.181}{1.8}=2.32\ m$

Therefore, the length of the material required to make a resistor of 3.7 Ω is 2.32 m.
