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

Why is it important that radioisotopes used in diagnostic tests have short half-lives? 20 A) These radioisotopes have a greater
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option B) This minimizes the harmful side effects of the radiations

Explanation:

Half-life is the time taken for the decay of an radio-active atom in which it disintegrates such that it becomes half of its value at the beginning.... The nuclei should be in active mode for a longer duration sufficient for the treatment of the condition but these nuclei should have a sufficient  shorter half life so that they don't get enough time to cause any  damage to the health of the person other than treating the cause.

A shorter half life gives the assurance that the radiation after the treatment will leave the body without getting accumulated and cause harm to the body cells and other organs.

Answer:

a)  a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

b)  V(t)=4\,t\,+3

c)  V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s} \\

d)  Displacement = 22 m

e)  Average speed = 11 m/s

Explanation:

a)

Notice that the acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function, which in this case, being a straight line is constant everywhere, and which can be calculated as:

slope= \frac{15=3}{3-0} =4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore,  acceleration is a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

b) the functional expression for this line of slope 4 that passes through a y-intercept at (0, 3) is given by:

y=m\,x+b\\V(t)=4\,t\,+3

c) Since we know the general formula for the velocity, now we can estimate it at any value for 't", for example for the requested t = 1 second:

V(t)= 4\,t+3\\V(1)=4\,(1)+3\\V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s}

d) The displacement between times t = 1 sec, and t = 3 seconds is given by the area under the velocity curve between these two time values. Since we have a simple trapezoid, we can calculate it directly using geometry and evaluating V(3) (we already know V(1)):

Displacement = \frac{(7+15)\,2}{2} = 22\,\,m

e) Recall that the average of a function between two values is the integral (area under the curve) divided by the length of the interval:

Average velocity = \frac{22}{2} = 11\, \,\frac{m}{s}
