eel which has a density of rho = 7800 kg / m3. The radius of the string is r = 9.3 x 10-4 m. A transverse wave of amplitude A = 0.0020 m is formed on the string.

b. Calculate the velocity (in m/s) of a traveling transverse wave on the guitar string.
c. Assume a form y) = A sin(a) for the transverse displacement of the string. Enter an expression for a of a transverse wave on a string traveling along the positive x-direction in terms of its wavenumber k, the position x, its angular frequency w, and the time t.
d. Assume a form y2 = A sin(a) for the transverse displacement of the string. Write an expression for a of a transverse wave on a string traveling along the negative x-direction in terms of its wavenumber k, the position x, its angular frequency w, and the time t.
e. Write an equation for a standing wave on the string y(x,t) created by y1(x,t) and y2(x,t) in terms of the amplitude of the original traveling waves A, its wavenumber k, the position x, its angular frequency w, and the time t.

Answer:

Part(a): The mass per unit length = 22.05 Kg m^{-1}.

Part(b): The velocity of the traveling transverse wave = 2.04 m s^{-1}

Part(c): The expression for a transverse wave on the string travelling along positive x-direction is y(x,t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t)

Part(d): The expression for a transverse wave on the string travelling along negative x-direction is y_{-}(x,t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t)

Part(e): The equation of the standing wave is y(x,t) = 2A \sin(kx) \cos(\omega t).

Explanation:

Part(a):

The mass per unit length (\mu) is given by,

\mu = \pi~ r^{2} \rho = \pi \times 9 \times 10^{-4}~m~\times 7800~kg~m^{-3} = 22.05~Kg~m^{-1}

Part(b):

According to the figure, the net force on the element (\Delta x) of the string, is the sum of the tension in the string (F_{T}) and the restoring force. The x-components of the force of tension will cancel each other, so the net force is equal to the sum of the y-components of the force. To obtain the y-components of the force, at x = x_{1}

(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{1} }= \dfrac{- F_{V^{-}}}{F_{T}}

and  at x = x_{2}

(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{2} }= \dfrac{F_{V^{+}}}{F_{T}}

The net force (F_{net}) on the string element is given by

F_{net} = F_{V}^{+} + F_{V}^{-}\\~~~~~~~= F_{T}[ (\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{2}} - (\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{1}}]

According to Newton's second law of motion, F_{net} = \Delta x \times \mu, where \mu is mass per unit length. So,

&& \Delta x \times \mu  \dfrac{\partial^{2}y}{\partial t^{2}} = [(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{2}} - (\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{1}}] \times F_{T}\\&or,& \dfrac{\mu}{F_{T}}  \dfrac{\partial^{2}y}{\partial t^{2}} =  \dfrac{[(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{2}} - (\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{1}}]}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{\partial^{2}y}{\partial x^{2}}

Comparing the above equation with standard wave equation

\dfrac{\partial^{2}y}{\partial x^{2}} = \dfrac{1}{v^{2}} \dfrac{\partial^{2}y}{\partial x^{2}}

the the velocity (v) of the transverse wave is

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{F_{T}}{\mu}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{92~N}{22.05~Kg~m_{-1}}} = 2.04~m~s^{-1}

Part(c):

If the wave having wavelength '\lambda' propagates along positive x-direction with the constant velocity   'v', then at any instant of time 't' , then its angular displacement '\theta' is related to the linear displacement 'x' is written as

&& \dfrac{\theta}{x} = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda}\\&or,& \theta = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda} x

Also the distance travelled by the wave at time 't' with constant velocity 'v' is vt.

So the wave equation can be written as

y(x,t) = A \sin(\theta)\\~~~~~~~~~= A \sin(\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}(x - vt)) \\~~~~~~~~~= A\sin(\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}~x - \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda} vt)\\~~~~~~~~~= A\sin(kx - \omega t)

where 'k' is the wave number k = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda} and \omega = \dfrac{2\pi v}{\lambda} = \dfrac{2 \pi \dfrac{\lambda}{T}}{\lambda} = \dfrac{2 \pi}{T} is the natural angular frequency.

The wave equation propagating along positive x-direction is given by

.y_{+} = A \sin(kx - \omega t)

Part(d):

By the same argument given above The wave equation propagating along negative x-direction is given by

y_{-} = A \sin(kx - \omega t)

Part(e):

The wave equation propagating along positive x-direction is given by

y_{1}(x,t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t)

Similarly, the wave equation propagating along negative x-direction is given by

y_{2} = A \sin(kx + \omega t)

So the equation of the standing wave on the string created by y_{1}(x,t) and y_{2}(x,t) is the superposition of the waves and is given by

y(x,t) = y_{1}(x,t) + y_{2}(x,t)\\~~~~~~~~~= A \sin(kx - \omega t) +  A \sin(kx + \omega t)\\~~~~~~~~~= 2A \sin(kx) \cos(\omega t)

Your friend thinks that the escape speed should be greater for more massive objects than for less massive objects. Provide an ar
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Concepts and Principles

1- Kinetic Energy: The kinetic energy of an object is:

K=1/2*m*v^2                                                         (1)  

where m is the object's mass and v is its speed relative to the chosen coordinate system.  

2- Gravitational potential energy of a system consisting of Earth and any object is:  

 U_g = -Gm_E*m_o/r*E-o                                   (2)  

where m_E is the mass of Earth (5.97x 10^24 kg), m_o is the mass of the object, and G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2 is Newton's gravitational constant.  

Solution  

The argument:  

My friend thinks that escape speed should be greater for more massive objects than for less massive objects because the gravitational pull on a more massive object is greater than the gravitational pull for a less massive object and therefore the more massive object needs more speed to escape this gravitational pull.  

The counterargument:  

We provide a mathematical counterargument. Consider a projectile of mass m, leaving the surface of a planet with escape speed v. The projectile has a kinetic energy K given by Equation (1):

K=1/2*m*v^2                                                         (1)  

and a gravitational potential energy Ug given by Equation (2):  

Ug = -G*Mm/R

where M is the mass of the planet and R is its radius. When the projectile reaches infinity, it stops and thus has no kinetic energy. It also has no potential energy because an infinite separation between two bodies is our zero-potential-energy configuration. Therefore, its total energy at infinity is zero. Applying the principle of energy consersation, we see that the total energy at the planet's surface must also have been zero:  

K+U=0  

1/2*m*v^2 + (-G*Mm/R) = 0

1/2*m*v^2 =  G*Mm/R

1/2*v^2 = G*M/R

solving for v we get

v = √2G*M/R

so we see v does not depend on the mass of the projectile
