Consider a sound wave moving through the air modeled with the equation s(x, t) = 5.00 nm cos(60.00 m−1x − 18.00 ✕ 103 s−1t). Wha

Answer:

Shortest time = 58.18 × 10^(-6) s

Explanation:

We are given;

s(x,t) = 5.00 nm cos((60.00 m^(−1)x) − (18.00 X 10³ s^(−1)t))

Let us set x = 0 as origin.

Now, for us to find the time difference, we need to solve 2 equations which are;

s(x,t) = 5.00 nm cos((60.00 m^(−1)x) − (18.00 X 10³ s^(−1)t1))

And

s(x,t) = 5.00 nm cos((60.00 m^(−1)x) − (18.00 X 10³ s^(−1)t2))

Now, since the wave starts from maxima at time at t = 0, the required time would be the difference (t2 - t1)

Thus, the solutions are;

t1 = (1/(18 × 10³)) cos^(-1) (2.5/5)

And

t2 = (1/(18 × 10³)) cos^(-1) (-2.5/5)

Angle of the cos function is in radians, thus;

t1 = 58.18 × 10^(-6) s

t2 = 116.36 × 10^(-6) s

So,

Required time = t2 - t1 = (116.36 × 10^(-6) s) - (58.18 × 10^(-6) s) = 58.18 × 10^(-6) s

A sledgehammer hits a wall How do the hammer and the wall act on each other?
tigry1 [53]

We want to study the impact of a sledgehammer and a wall.

Before the sledgehammer hits the wall, it has a given velocity and a given mass, so it has momentum and it has kinetic energy.

When it hits the wall, the velocity of the hammer disappears, this means that the energy is transferred to the wall, this "transfer of energy" can be thought of a force applied for a really short time on the wall, which for the third law of Newton, the force is also applied on the hammer.

This is why you feel the impact on the handle when you hit something with a hammer, this also means that some of the energy is dissipated on your arms.

Now, because the wall is made of a material usually not as strong as the head of the sledgehammer, we will see that in this interaction the wall seems more affected than the hammer, but the forces that each one experiences are exactly equal in magnitude.

A voltaic cell converts chemical energy to
Svetradugi [14.3K]
<h2>Answer: Electric energy </h2>

Voltaic cells use chemical reactions to generate electrical energy, as well as the reverse process.

This type of cell is mainly composed of the anode (a metal electrode where oxidation occurs) and the cathode (a metal electrode where the reduction occurs). These electrodes are placed in two compartments separated by a porous plate or membrane and immersed in a medium containing ions.

This is how, <u>when the chemical reaction of oxide-reduction occurs, electricity is generated.</u>

the distance between any two bodies is 10 M and the gravitational force between them is 3.2×10-⁹m. if the mass of one object is
cluponka [151]

Answer:

0.8 x 10^-9 kg

Explanation:

Given,

Distance ( R ) = 10 m

Force ( F ) = 3.2 x 10^-9 N

Mass ( m1 ) = 40 kg

To find : Mass ( m2 ) = ?

Formula : -

F = m1.m2 / R^2

m2 = FR^2 / m1

= 3.2 x 10^-9 x 10 / 40

= 3.2 x 10^-9 / 4

= ( 3.2 / 4 ) x 10^-9

m2 = 0.8 x 10^-9 kg
