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)

A baseball is hit that just goes over a wall that is 45.4m high. If the baseball is traveling at 46.2 m/s at an angle of 32.7° b
mario62 [17]

Answer:

54.9 m/s at 44.9 degrees

Explanation:

If the ball has a total velocity of 46.2 m/s, at an angle of -32.7 degrees, we can decompose its speed into its horizontal and vertical components.

Vx = V * cos(a) = 46.2 * cos(-32.7) = 38.9 m/s

Vy = V * sin(a) = 46.2 * sin(-32.7) = -25 m/s

SInce there is no force on the horizontal direction (omitting air drag), we can assume constant horizontal speed.

Since a ball thrown is at free fall, only affected by gravity (omitting air drag), we can say it is affected by constant acceleration, therefore we can use

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 *t + 1/2 * a * t^2

We consider t=0 as the moment when the ball was hit, so in this case Y0 = 1 m

If we take the first derivative of the equation of position, we get the equation for speed

V(t) = Vy0 + a * t

We know that being t2 the moment the ball goes over the wall

V(t2) = -25 m/s

Y(t2) = 45.4 m

So:

45.4 = 1 + Vy0 * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

-25 = Vy0 + a * t2

Then:

Vy0 = -25 - a * t2

So:

45.4 = 1 + (-25 - a * t2) * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 - 1/2 * a * t2^2

a = -9.81 m/s^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 + 4.9 * t2^2

Solving this quadratic equation we get:

t1 = -1.39 s

t2 = 6.5 s

Since we are looking for a positive value we disregard t1.

Now we can obtain Vy0:

Vy0 = -25 + 9.81 * 6.5 = 38.76 m/s

Since horizontal speed is constant Vx0 = 38.9 m/s

By Pythagoras theorem we obtain the value of the initial speed:

V0 = \sqrt{Vx0^2 + Vy0^2} = \sqrt{38.9^2 + 38.76^2} = 54.9 m/s

The angle is in the the first quadrant because both comonents ate positive, so: 0 < a < 90

a = atan(Vy0/Vx0) = 44.9 degrees
