In lab, your instructor generates a standing wave using a thin string of length L = 1.65 m fixed at both ends. You are told that

the standing wave is produced by the superposition of traveling and reflected waves, where the incident traveling waves propagate in the +x direction with an amplitude A = 2.45 mm and a speed vx = 10.5 m/s . The first antinode of the standing wave is a distance of x = 27.5 cm from the left end of the string, while a light bead is placed a distance of 13.8 cm to the right of the first antinode. What is the maximum transverse speed vy of the bead? Make sure to use consistent distance units in your calculations.
Given that the distance from the left end of the string to the first antinode is 27.5 cm , calculate the wavelength of the standing wave on the string. Remember to convert all measurements into units of meters before performing this calculation.

Answer:

On the standing waves on a string, the first antinode is one-fourth of a wavelength away from the end. This means

\frac{\lambda}{4} = 0.275~m\\\lambda = 1.1~m

This means that the relation between the wavelength and the length of the string is

3\lambda/2 = L

By definition, this standing wave is at the third harmonic, n = 3.

Furthermore, the standing wave equation is as follows:

y(x,t) = (A\sin(kx))\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{\omega}{v}x)\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi f}{v}x)\sin(2\pi ft) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x)\sin(\frac{2\pi v}{\lambda}t) = (2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin(5.7x)\sin(59.94t)

The bead is placed on x = 0.138 m. The maximum velocity is where the derivative of the velocity function equals to zero.

v_y(x,t) = \frac{dy(x,t)}{dt} = \omega A\sin(kx)\cos(\omega t)\\a_y(x,t) = \frac{dv(x,t)}{dt} = -\omega^2A\sin(kx)\sin(\omega t)

a_y(x,t) = -(59.94)^2(2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin((5.7)(0.138))\sin(59.94t) = 0

For this equation to be equal to zero, sin(59.94t) = 0. So,

59.94t = \pi\\t = \pi/59.94 = 0.0524~s

This is the time when the velocity is maximum. So, the maximum velocity can be found by plugging this time into the velocity function:

v_y(x=0.138,t=0.0524) = (59.94)(2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin((5.7)(0.138))\cos((59.94)(0.0524)) = 0.002~m/s

Ksju [112]

Answer:

v=\sqrt{2gh}

Explanation:

We could use conversation of energy. Total distance the stone will cover will be

h=\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}

the Final velocity will be

v=gt\\v=g\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\ v=\sqrt{2gh}

The driver of a car slams on the brakes, causing the car to slow down at a rate of
sdas [7]

Answer:

A. The time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. The initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Final velocity (V) = 0

Time (t) =?

Initial velocity (U) =?

A. Determination of the time taken for the car to stop.

Let us obtain an express for time (t)

Acceleration (a) = Velocity (V)/time(t)

a = V/t

Velocity (V) = distance (s) /time (t)

V = s/t

a = s/t^2

Cross multiply

a x t^2 = s

Divide both side by a

t^2 = s/a

Take the square root of both side

t = √(s/a)

Now we can obtain the time as follow

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Time (t) =..?

t = √(s/a)

t = √(256/26)

t = 3.14 secs

Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. Determination of the initial speed of the car.

V = U + at

Final velocity (V) = 0

Deceleration (a) = –26ft/s2

Time (t) = 3.14 sec

Initial velocity (U) =.?

0 = U – 26x3.14

0 = U – 81.64

Collect like terms

U = 81.64 ft/s

Therefore, the initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s
