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

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Plate separation of each capacitor is 101.132 °A

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the capacitance in empty space as a function of distance (square parallel plates) is:

C=\epsilon_{0}\frac{Area}{distance}

clearing for distance:

distance=\epsilon_0 \frac{Area}{Capacitance} \\\\\epsilon_0=8.8542(10)^{-12}C^2/Nm\\\\Area=3.09(10)^{-11}m^2\\Capacitance=27(10)^{-15}F\\\\Replacing\\\\distance=\frac{8.8542(10)^{-12}*3.09(10)^{-11}}{27(10)^{-15}} =1.0133(10)^{-8}m\\\\In A\\distance= 101.132 A

Which of the following is a typical property of an ionic compound
Yanka [14]

The answer is C.

Ionic compounds are those that bring together anions and cations bonded together by ionic bonds. The electrostatic forces of the different charges are significant in the bonds that make them strong hence require high energy to break them (high melting point).  Due to the regular structure of ionic compound that tend to form lattices in solid form, when struck, they shatter along the lines of weakness of the lattice.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Namely, they are:

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged particles (and between magnetic fields). The force can be either attractive (if the two charges have opposite signs) or repulsive (if the two charges have same sign), and it acts over an infinite range.

- Gravitational force: it is the force exerted between objects with mass. It is always attractive, and it also has an infinite range of action. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that acts between protons and neutrons inside the nucleus, and it is responsible for keeping the nucleus together and preventing it from breaking apart (due to the electrostatic repulsion between protons)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certains nuclear decays, such as the beta decay, in which a neutron turns into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.
