Complete Question

A wave is described by y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t), where x is in meters, y is in centimetres and t is in seconds. The angular wave frequency is

Answer:

The value is $w = 10 \ rad /s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The equation describing the wave is y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t)

Generally the sinusoidal equation representing the motion of a wave is mathematically represented as

$y(x,t) = Asin(kx + wt )$

Where w is the angular frequency

Now comparing this equation with that given we see that

$w = 10 \ rad /s$

kipiarov [429]

Answer:0.4 m

Explanation:

Given

Maximum displacement A=0.49

The sum of kinetic and elastic potential energy is $\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

where k=spring constant

U+K.E.= $\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

when K.E.=U/2

K.E.=kinetic energy

U=Elastic potential Energy

$\rightarrow \ U+\frac{U}{2}=\frac{1}{2}KA^2\\\rightarrow \ \frac{3U}{2}=\frac{1}{2}KA^2\\\rightarrow \ U=\frac{1}{3}KA^2\\\rightarrow \ \frac{Kx^2}{2}=\frac{1}{3}KA^2\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}A\\x=0.4\ m$

What happens to the particles of the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is heated?

aev [14]

The particles of the liquid inside a thermometer speed up and spread apart when the thermometer is heated. In short, the particles expand from one another when they're heated, and become condensed and compact when chilled.

what happens to a circuits resistance, voltage, and current when you increase the diameter of the wire in the circuit?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Option D.

Resistance (R) decreases

Voltage (V) is constant

Current (I) increases

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing an equation relating resistance and diameter of a wire. This is given below:

R = ρL/A ......... (1)

A = πr² (since the wire is circular in shape)

r = d/2

A = πr² = π(d/2)²

A = πd²/4

Substitute the value of A into equation 1

R = ρL/A

R = ρL ÷ A

R = ρL ÷ πd²/4

R = ρL × 4/πd²

R = 4ρL /πd²

Where:

R is the resistance of the wire.

ρ is the resistivity of the wire.

L is the length of the wire.

A is the cross sectional area of the wire.

r is the radius.

d is the diameter of the wire

From equation (1) above, we can say that the resistance (R) is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire. This implies that an increase in the diameter of the wire will result in a decrease of the resistance. Also, a decrease in the diameter of the wire will result in an increase in the resistance of the wire.

1. Since the diameter of the wire is increase, therefore, the resistance of the wire will decrease.

2. From ohm's law,

V = IR

Divide both side by I

R = V/I

Where:

R is the resistance

V is the voltage

I is the current

From the above equation, the resistance (R) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the current (I).

If we keep the voltage constant, this means that an increase in the resistance will lead to a decrease in the current. Also, a decrease in the resistance will lead to an increase in the current.

Since the resistance of the wire decrease, the current will increase.

From the illustrations made above, an increase in the diameter of the wire will lead to:

1. Decrease in resistance.

2. Voltage is constant.

3. Increase in current.
