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

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the angle between the first polariser and the second polariser axis is θ.

By using of law of Malus

(a)

Let the intensity of light coming out from the first polariser is I'

I' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta     .... (1)

Now the angle between the transmission axis of the second and the third polariser is 90 - θ. Let the intensity of light coming out from the third polariser is I''.

By the law of Malus

I'' = I'Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )

So,

I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )

I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Sin^{2}\theta

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}Sin^{2}2\theta

(b)

Now differentiate with respect to θ.

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}\times 2 \times 2 \times Sin2\theta \times Cos 2\theta

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}\times Sin 4\theta

Choose the correct statement of Kirchhoff's voltage law.
frutty [35]

Answer:

A) If one travels around a closed path adding the voltages for which one enters the negative reference and subtracting the voltages for which one enters the positive reference, the total is zero.

Explanation:

Kirchhoff's voltage law deals with the conservation of energy when the current flows in a closed-loop path.

It states that the algebraic sum of the voltages around any closed loop in a circuit is always zero.

In other words, the algebraic sum of all the potential differences through a loop must be equal to zero.

A ball is tossed with a velocity of 10 m/s directed vertically upward from a window located 20 m above the ground. Determine the
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of ball u=10\ m/s

height of window h=20\ m

Using Equation of motion

y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where u=initial velocity

t=time

a=acceleration

As ball is already is at a height of 20 m so

Y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2+20

Y=10\times t+0.5\times (-9.8)t^2+20

Y=-4.9t^2+10t+20

(b)highest point is obtained at v=0

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

(0)-10^2=2\times (-9.8)\times s

s=\frac{100}{19.6}

s=5.102\ m

Highest Point will be s+20=25.102\ m

(c)Time taken when the ball hit the ground i.e. at Y=0

-4.9t^2+10t+20=0

t=3.28\ s

impact velocity v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 25.102}

v=22.181\ m/s
