A sinusoidal transverse wave travels along a long, stretched, string. the amplitude of this wave is 0.0885 m, it's frequency is

4.31 hz, and its wavelength is 1.21m.
(a) What is the transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave?
(b) How much time is required for 71.7 cycles of the wave to pass a stationary observer?
(c) Viewing the whole wave at any instant, how many cycles are there in a 30.7-m length of string?

Answer:

(a) 0.177 m

(b) 16.491 s

(c) 25 cycles

Explanation:

(a)

Distance between the maximum and the minimum of the wave = 2A ............ Equation 1

Where A = amplitude of the wave.

Given: A = 0.0885 m,

Distance between the maximum and the minimum of the wave = (2×0.0885) m

Distance between the maximum and the minimum of the wave = 0.177 m.

(b)

T = 1/f ...................... Equation 2.

Where T = period, f = frequency.

Given: f = 4.31 Hz

T = 1/4.31

T = 0.23 s.

If 1 cycle pass through the stationary observer for 0.23 s.

Then, 71.7 cycles will pass through the stationary observer for (0.23×71.7) s.

= 16.491 s.

(c)

If 1.21 m contains 1 cycle,

Then, 30.7 m will contain (30.7×1)/1.21

= 25.37 cycles

Approximately 25 cycles.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1200 kg object that is moving at a speed of 24 m/s?

maria [59]

Kinetic Energy = 1/2mv^2
m= 1200kg
v= 24 m/s

KE = 1/2 (1200kg)(24m/s)^2 = 345,600 N

An oil gusher shoots crude oil 25.0 m into the air through a pipe with a 0.100-m diameter. Neglecting air resistance but not the

Mariana [72]

Answer:3764.282 KPa

Explanation:

Given gusher shoots oil at h=25 m

i.e. the velocity of jet is

v=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

v=22.147 m/s

Now the pressure loss in pipe is given by hagen poiseuille equation

$\Delta P=\frac{32L\mu v}{D^2}$

$\Delta P=\frac{32\times 50\times 22.147\times 1}{10^{-2}}$

$\Delta P=3543.557 KPa$

For 25 m head in terms of Pressure

$\Delta P_2=\rho \times g\times h=220.725 KPa$

Total Pressure= $\Delta P+\Delta P_2$ =3543.557+220.725=3764.282 KPa

Answer:

K.E = 4800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 600 kg

Velocity = 4 m/s

To find the kinetic energy;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}*600*4^{2}$

$K.E = 300 * 16$

K.E = 4800 Joules.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

-0.375 m/s2

Explanation:

To find the acceleration due to gravity in this planet, we can use the Torricelli formula of UALM (uniformly accelerated linear motion):

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2*a*S

Where V is the final velocity, Vo is the inicial velocity, a is the acceleration and S is the total displacement.

With V = 3, Vo = 0 and S = -12, we have:

3^2 = 0^2 - 2*a*12

24a = -9

a = -9/24 = -0.375 m/s2
