The amplitude of a wave corresponds to its maximum oscillation of the wave itself.
In our problem, the equation of the wave is
![y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(\pi [(0.400cm-1)x+(250s-1)t])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%28x%2Ct%29%3D%20%280.750cm%29cos%28%5Cpi%20%5B%280.400cm-1%29x%2B%28250s-1%29t%5D%29)
We can see that the maximum value of y(x,t) is reached when the cosine is equal to 1. When this condition occurs,
and therefore this value corresponds to the amplitude of the wave.
Answer:
1.59 seconds
12.3 meters
but if you are wise you will read the entire answer.
Explanation:
This is a good question -- if not a bit unusual. You should try and understand the details. It will come in handy.
Time
<u>Given</u>
a = 0 This is the critical point. There is no horizontal acceleration.
d = 20 m
v = 12.6 m/s
<u>Formula</u>
d = vi * t + 1/2at^2
<u>Solution</u>
Since the acceleration is 0, the formula reduces to
d = vi * t
20 = 12.6 * t
t = 20 / 12.6
t = 1.59 seconds.
It takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground
Height of the building
<u>Givens</u>
t = 1.59 sec
vi = 0 Another critical point. The beginning speed vertically is 0
a = 9.8 m/s^2 The acceleration is vertical.
<u>Formula</u>
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
<u>Solution</u>
d = 1/2 a*t^2
d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 1.59^2
d = 12.3 meters.
The two vi's are not to be confused. The horizontal vi is a number other other 0 (in this case 12.6 m/s horizontally)
The other vi is a vertical speed. It is 0.
Medicine to a patient. That should be calculated based on weight, strength/dosage and possibly other factors
Answer:
n=2.053
Explanation:
We will use Snell's Law defined as:
Where n values are indexes of refraction and 
values are the angles in each medium. For vacuum, the index of refraction in n=1. With this we have enough information to state:
Solving for 
yields:
Remember to use degrees for trigonometric functions instead of radians!
