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

As you increase the temperature, the matter begins to expand. Due to this, the distance between matter particles decreases and they are no more compact. Hence, density decreases.

A baseball is batted. It's a long fly ball. 4 seconds later the ball reaches the outfield 100 meters away and returns to the hei
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

First we should define the variables

T=4

Dx = 100

ay=-9.8

ax=0

We can use formula 1 from the BIG 5

x=(v+v0)t/2

By plugging in our variables we can get 100=4(v+v0)/2

Which is 50=v+v0

v=v0 since horizontal acceleration always equals zero

so 2v0 = 50

v0 = 25
