Why do you rotate when you hold a spinning wheel?

1 answer:

4 0

When you hold a spinning wheel, the wheel and you, chair included, form a system that obeys the principle of "conservation of angular momentum". This means that any changes in angular momentum within the system must accompanied by an equal and opposite change, so the net force is zero.

One has a frequency of 490 Hz and the other is 488 Hz. How many beats per second are heard?

tresset_1 [31]

When sounds at two different frequencies are combined,
two new sounds are created ... at the sum and difference
of the original frequencies.

Combining two sounds at 490 Hz and 488 Hz creates
beats at 978 Hz and 2 Hz.

The fluttering "wah wah" effect of the 2 Hz beat is much more
noticeable than the new sound at 978 Hz.

A transverse wave on a string is described by the following wave function.y = (0.090 m) sin (px/11 + 4pt)(a) Determine the trans

alukav5142 [94]

Explanation:

(a) It is known that equation for transverse wave is given as follows.

y = $(0.09 m)sin(\pi \frac{x}{11} + 4 \pi t)$

Now, we will compare above equation with the standard form of transeverse wave equation,

y = $A sin(kx + \omega t)$

where, A is the amplitude = 0.09 m

k is the wave vector = $\frac{\pi}{11}$

$\omega$ is the angular frequency = $4\pi$

x is displacement = 1.40 m

t is the time = 0.16 s

Now, we will differentiate the equation with respect to t as follows.

The speed of the wave will be:

v(t) = $\frac{dy}{dt}$

v(t) = $A \omega cos(kx + \omega t)$

v(t) = $(0.09 m)(4\pi) cos(\frac{\pi \times 1.4}{11} + 4 \pi \times 0.16)$

v(t) = -0.84 m/s

The acceleration of the particle in the location is

a(t) = $\frac{dv}{dt}$

a(t) = $-A \omega 2sin(kx + \omega t)$

a(t) = $-(0.09 m)(4 \pi)2 sin(\frac{\pi \times 1.4}{11} + 4\pi \times 0.16)$

a(t) = -9.49 $m/s^{2}$

Hence, the value of transverse wave is 0.84 m/s and the value of acceleration is 9.49 $m/s^{2}$ .

(b) Wavelength of the wave is given as follows.

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}$

$\lambda = (frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{11})
$

$\lambda$ = 22 m

The period of the wave is

T = $\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$

T = $\frac{2 \pi}{4 \pi}$

= 0.5 sec

Now, we will calculate the speed of propagation of wave as follows.

v = $\frac{\lambda}{T}$

= $\frac{22 m}{0.5 s}$

= 44 m/s

therefore, we can conclude that wavelength is 22 m, period is 0.5 sec, and speed of propagation of wave is 44 m/s.

A 3.1-kilogram gun initially at rest is free to

34kurt

The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.

The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:

7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42

So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.
