A series of pulses of amplitude 0.28 m are sent down a string that is attached to a post at one end. The pulses are reflected at

the post and travel back along the string without loss of amplitude. What is the amplitude at a point on the string where two pulses cross if the string is rigidly attached to the post?

Answer:

The answer is zero displacement (0 m)

Explanation:

If the end of the string is not free, the reflected pulse has the same amplitude but opposite polarity to the incident pulse. Because of this, for A, the result equals zero (0 m).

Answer:

a. The pulses cancel each other resulting in zero displacement.

b. The pulses reinforce each other, having a displacement of 2× amplitude or 0.56 m.

Explanation:

When the pulse are sent down the attached string  it gets reflected and we have crossing pulses as the incident and reflected pulses cross each other.

a. If the string is rigidly attached to the post then the incident and reflected pulses will have the same amplitude but different direction. That is either the reflected will be going up and the incident down thereby resulting in a cancellation or zero displacement

Incident amplitude = 0.28 m

Reflected amplitude = -0.28 m

Sum = 0.28 m - 0.28 m = 0 m

b. If the end at which the relfection occurs is free to slide, then the incident and the reflected pulses will again have the same amplitude and in this case, the same direction. Therefore;

Incident amplitude = 0.28 m

Reflected amplitude = 0.28 m

Sum = 0.28 m + 0.28 m = 0.56 m

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

B. Water and sugar.

Explanation:

In the given options water and sugar would be the poor conductor of electricity. Other given options such as water and salt, water and Hcl and water and NaOH are better conductor of electricity because Hcl ,NaOH, salt (Nacl) can break into their ionic form whereas water and sugar will not.

The work done by the centripetal force during om complete revolution is 401.92 J.

<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>

Centripetal force is a force that acts on a body undergoing a circular motion and is directed towards the center of the circle in which the body is moving.

To Calculate the work done by the centripetal force during one complete revolution, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = (mv²/r)2πr
  • W = 2πmv²................... Equation 1

Where:

  • W = Work done by the centripetal force
  • m = mass of the ball
  • v = velocity of the ball
  • π = pie

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 16 kg
  • v = 2 m/s
  • π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • W = 2×3.14×16×2²
  • W = 401.92 J

Hence, The work done by the centripetal force during om complete revolution is 401.92 J.

Answer:

The time constant is 1.049.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge q{t}= 0.65 q_{0}

We need to calculate the time constant

Using expression for charging in a RC circuit

q(t)=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]

Where, \dfrac{t}{RC} = time constant

Put the value into the formula

0.65q_{0}=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]

1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.65

e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.35

-\dfrac{t}{RC}=ln (0.35)

-\dfrac{t}{RC}=-1.049

\dfrac{t}{RC}=1.049

Hence, The time constant is 1.049.

Distinguish between a converging lens and a diverging lens.
andriy [413]

Answer:A converging lens is thickest in the middle and causes parallel light rays to converge through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens. A diverging lens is thinner in the middle and causes parallel light rays to diverge away from the focal point on the same side of the lens.
