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

What is the time lapse between seeing a lightning strike and hearing the thunder if the lightning flash is 47 km away? The speed
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

141.14098 secs

Explanation:

Time taken to see the lightning flash can be gotten from:

Velocity = distance/time

Time = distance/velocity

Time = (47 * 1000)/(3 * 10^8)

Time = 0.0001567 secs

Time taken to hear the thunder can be gotten from:

Velocity = distance/time

Time = distance/velocity

Time = (47 * 1000)/(333)

Time = 141.14114 secs

The time lapse between the lightning flash and the thunder will be:

141.14114 - 0. 0001567

= 141.14098 secs

A 4.0-m-diameter playground merry-go-round, with a moment of inertia of
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

7.1 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

d = diameter of merry-go-round = 4 m

r = radius of merry-go-round = \frac{d}{2} =  \frac{4}{2} = 2 m

I = moment of inertia = 500 kgm²

w_{i} = angular velocity of merry-go-round before ryan jumps = 2.0 rad/s

w_{f} = angular velocity of merry-go-round after ryan jumps = 0 rad/s

v = velocity of ryan before jumping onto the merry-go-round

m = mass of ryan = 70 kg

Using conservation of angular momentum

Iw_{i} - m v r = (I + mr^{2})w_{f}

(500)(2.0) - (70) v (2) = (I + mr^{2})(0)

1000 = 140 v

v = 7.1 ms⁻¹

A storm is moving at 15 km/hr what to do to determine its velocity
WINSTONCH [101]
Check the current weather map for 2 different times, and see where the center of the storm is. That tells you what direction it's moving. With its speed and direction, you have its velocity.
