Answer:

a . 0.35cm

b.  11.33cm

Explanation:

a. Given both currents are in the same direction, the null point lies in between them. Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4-x

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in between the wires:

\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi(4-x)}\\\\5/x=\frac{3.5}{4-x}\\\\x=2.35cm\\\\N=2.35-2=0.35cm

Hence, for currents in same direction, the point is 0.35cm

b. Given both currents flow in opposite directions, the null point lies on the other side.

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in outside the wires:

Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4+x:

\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi(4+ x)}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi x}\\\\5/(4+x)=\frac{3.5}{x}\\\\x=9.33cm\\\\N=9.33+2=11.33cm

Hence, if currents are in opposite directions the point on x-axis is 11.33cm

The distance between adjacent nodes in a standing wave pattern is 25.0 cm. What is the
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Answer:

Speed of the wave in the string will be 3.2 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given frequency in the string fixed at both ends is 80 Hz

Distance between adjacent antipodes is 20 cm

We know that distance between two adjacent anti nodes is equal to half of the wavelength

So \frac{\lambda }{2}=20cm

2

λ

=20cm

\lambda =40cmλ=40cm

We have to find the speed of the wave in the string

Speed is equal to v=\lambda f=0.04\times 80=3.2m/secv=λf=0.04×80=3.2m/sec

So speed of the wave in the string will be 3.2 m/sec

Machmer Hall is 400 m North and 180 m West of Witless.
yan [13]

Answer:

The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Machmer Hall is 400 m North and 180 m West of Witless.

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

D = \sqrt{(d_{m})^2+(d_{w})^2}

Where, d_{m} =distance of Machmer Hall

d_{w} =distance of Witless

Put the value into the formula

D = \sqrt{(400)^2+(180)^2}

D=438.63\ m

Hence, The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.

Two traveling sinusoidal waves are described by the wave functions y1 = 4.85 sin [(4.35x − 1270t)] y2 = 4.85 sin [(4.35x − 1270t
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Approximately 9.62.

Explanation:

y_1 = 4.85\, \sin[(4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + 0].

y_2 = 4.85\, \sin[(4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + (-0.250)].

Notice that sine waves y_1 and y_2 share the same frequency and wavelength. The only distinction between these two waves is the (-0.250) in y_2\!.

Therefore, the sum (y_1 + y_2) would still be a sine wave. The amplitude of (y_1 + y_2)\! could be found without using calculus.

Consider the sum-of-angle identity for sine:

\sin(a + b) = \sin(a) \cdot \cos(b) + \cos(a) \cdot \sin(b).

Compare the expression \sin(a + b) to y_2. Let a = (4.35\, x - 1270) and b = (-0.250). Apply the sum-of-angle identity of sine to rewrite y_2\!.

\begin{aligned}y_2 &= 4.85\, \sin[(\underbrace{4.35\, x - 1270\, t}_{a}) + (\underbrace{-0.250}_{b})]\\ &= 4.85 \, [\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \cos(-0.250) \\ &\quad\quad\quad\; + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(-0.250)] \end{aligned}.

Therefore, the sum (y_1 + y_2) would become:

\begin{aligned}& y_1 + y_2\\[0.5em] &= 4.85\, [\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t) \\ &\quad \quad \quad\;+\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \cos(-0.250) \\ &\quad\quad\quad\; + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(-0.250)] \\[0.5em] &= 4.85\, [\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot (1 + \cos(-0.250)) \\ &\quad\quad\quad\; + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(-0.250)] \end{aligned}.

Consider: would it be possible to find m and c that satisfy the following hypothetical equation?

\begin{aligned}& (4.85\, m)\cdot \sin((4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + c)\\&= 4.85\, [\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot (1 + \cos(-0.250)) \\ &\quad\quad\quad\; + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(-0.250)] \end{aligned}.

Simplify this hypothetical equation:

\begin{aligned}& m\cdot \sin((4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + c)\\&=\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot (1 + \cos(-0.250)) \\ &\quad\quad + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(-0.250)\end{aligned}.

Apply the sum-of-angle identity of sine to rewrite the left-hand side:

\begin{aligned}& m\cdot \sin((4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + c)\\[0.5em]&=m\, \sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \cos(c) \\ &\quad\quad + m\, \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot \sin(c) \\[0.5em] &=\sin(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot (m\, \cos(c)) \\ &\quad\quad + \cos(4.35\, x - 1270\, t)\cdot (m\, \sin(c)) \end{aligned}.

Compare this expression with the right-hand side. For this hypothetical equation to hold for all real x and t, the following should be satisfied:

\displaystyle 1 + \cos(-0.250) = m\, \cos(c), and

\displaystyle \sin(-0.250) = m\, \sin(c).

Consider the Pythagorean identity. For any real number a:

{\left(\sin(a)\right)}^{2} + {\left(\cos(a)\right)}^{2} = 1^2.

Make use of the Pythagorean identity to solve this system of equations for m. Square both sides of both equations:

\displaystyle 1 + 2\, \cos(-0.250) +  {\left(\cos(-0.250)\right)}^2= m^2\, {\left(\cos(c)\right)}^2.

\displaystyle {\left(\sin(-0.250)\right)}^{2} = m^2\, {\left(\sin(c)\right)}^2.

Take the sum of these two equations.

Left-hand side:

\begin{aligned}& 1 + 2\, \cos(-0.250) + \underbrace{{\left(\cos(-0.250)\right)}^2 + {\left(\sin(-0.250)\right)}^2}_{1}\\ &= 1 + 2\, \cos(-0.250) + 1 \\ &= 2 + 2\, \cos(-0.250) \end{aligned}.

Right-hand side:

\begin{aligned} &m^2\, {\left(\cos(c)\right)}^2 + m^2\, {\left(\sin(c)\right)}^2 \\ &= m^2\, \left( {\left(\sin(c)\right)}^2 +  {\left(\cos(c)\right)}^2\right)\\ &= m^2\end{aligned}.

Therefore:

m^2 = 2 + 2\, \cos(-0.250).

m = \sqrt{2 + 2\, \cos(-0.250)} \approx 1.98.

Substitute m = \sqrt{2 + 2\, \cos(-0.250)} back to the system to find c. However, notice that the exact value of c\! isn't required for finding the amplitude of (y_1 + y_2) = (4.85\, m)\cdot \sin((4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + c).

(Side note: one possible value of c is \displaystyle \arccos\left(\frac{1 + \cos(0.250)}{\sqrt{2 \times (1 + \cos(0.250))}}\right) \approx 0.125 radians.)

As long as \! c is a real number, the amplitude of (y_1 + y_2) = (4.85\, m)\cdot \sin((4.35\, x - 1270\, t) + c) would be equal to the absolute value of (4.85\, m).

Therefore, the amplitude of (y_1 + y_2) would be:

\begin{aligned}|4.85\, m| &= 4.85 \times \sqrt{2 + 2\, \cos(-0.250)} \\&\approx 9.62 \end{aligned}.

Why do plants not need digistive system
WINSTONCH [101]
Humans need a digestive system to do cellular respiration, which produces energy used for growth and movement.

Plants do not need one as they make their own energy through photosynthesis. The process produces glucose, which is a form of energy for the plants.
