Missing data: the wave number

k=60 cm^{-1}

(a)  z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)

For a transverse wave travelling in the positive y-direction and with vibration along the z-direction, the equation of the wave is

z = A sin (ky-\omega t)

where

A is the amplitude of the wave

k is the wave number

\omega is the angular frequency

t is the time

In this situation:

A = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m is the amplitude

k = 60 cm^{-1} = 6000 m^{-1} is the wave number

T = 0.20 s is the period, so the angular frequency is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.20}=31.4 rad/s

So, the wave equation (in meters) is

z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)

(b) 0.094 m/s

For a transverse wave, the transverse speed is equal to the derivative of the displacement of the wave, so in this case:

v_t = z' = -A \omega cos (ky-\omega t)

So the maximum transverse wave occurs when the cosine term is equal to 1, therefore the maximum transverse speed must be

v_{t}_{max} =\omega A

where

\omega = 31.4 rad/s\\A = 0.003 m

Substituting,

v_{t}_{max}=(31.4)(0.003)=0.094 m/s

(c) 5.24 mm/s

The wave speed is given by

v=f \lambda

where

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

The frequency can be found from the angular frequency:

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{31.4}{2\pi}=5 Hz

While the wavelength can be found from the wave number:

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{6000}=1.05\cdot 10^{-3} m

Therefore, the wave speed is

v=(5)(1.05\cdot 10^{-3} )=5.24 \cdot 10^{-3} m/s = 5.24 mm/s

50 grams of ice cubes at -15°C are used to chill a water at 30°C with mass mH20 = 200 g. Assume that the water is kept in a foam
Arada [10]

Answer : The final temperature is, 25.0^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of ice = 2.09J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of ice = 50 g

m_2 = mass of water = 200 g

T_f = final temperature = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of ice = -15^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 30^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

50g\times 2.09J/g^oC\times (T_f-(-15))^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-30)^oC

T_f=25.0^oC

Therefore, the final temperature is, 25.0^oC

An object starts from rest and uniformly accelerates at a rate of 1.25 m/s2 for 7.0 seconds.
stich3 [128]

Explanation:

Since its accelerating, the velocity vs time graph is linear

For displacement we need initial velocity (which is zero because it starts from rest) and final velocity (which is calculatee thro acceleration formula

A= (vf - vi)/t

a= vf-0/t

1.25=vf / 7

1.25*7=vf

8.75 = vf

Now for displacement plug all the values in

X = 1/2(vf-vi)/t formula

The displacement (x) is 30.625 m

For part 3, we know new displacement that is 22m , the final and initial velocities are the same so just plug in the values for same formula above

The answer is t = 5.02

Im pretty sure all the answers are correct

Is (kr) an element a compound or a mixture?
Xelga [282]

Krypton ... symbol Kr ... is an element.  It's element number 36, because
there are 36 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Krypton. 

Krypton has nothing to do with Superman, except that about 75 years ago,
the creators of Superman thought it was a cool-sounding scientific word,
so they chose it for the name of his home planet.

A car with a mass of 1500 kg accelerates when the traffic light turns green. If the net force on the car is 3750 newtons, what i
timurjin [86]

Answer:

2.5 ms⁻²

Explanation:

By Newton's 2nd law,

The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the unbalance force applied on the object,

By that you can get the equation,

F = ma ⇒ a = F/m

where terms are in usual meaning

a = 3750/1500 = 2.5 ms⁻²
