What phase difference between two otherwise identical traveling waves, moving in the same direction along a stretched string, wi

ll result in the combined wave having an amplitude 1.5 times that of the common amplitude of the two combining waves? Express your answer in (a) degrees, (b) radians, and (c) as a fraction of the wavelength.

Answer:

a) 82.8°

b)1.44 rad

c)0.23λ

Explanation:

Wave function form for each wave will be

-> wave 1:

y_{1}(x,t)=y_{msin( kx -  ωt)

-> wave 2:

y_{2(x,t)=y_{msin( kx -  ωt +φ)

The summation of above two functions is the resultant wave.

Y(x,t)=y_{msin( kx -  ωt)+y_{msin( kx -  ωt +φ)

Using the trigonometric addition formula for sin i.e

sin(A)+ sin(B) = 2 sin(A+B/2) cos(A-B/2)

Y(x,t)=2y_{mcos(φ/2) sin(kx - ωt +φ)

When comparing to the general wave form, the amplitude is 2y_{mcos(φ/2)m

Also, y_{mcos(φ/2)= 1.5 y_{m

φ/2=cos^{-1}(1.5/s)

(a) φ= 82.8°

(b)φ= 82.8π/180 =>1.44 rad

(c) one complete wave is 2π radians

Therefore, for two waves,  φ/2π= 1.44/2π => 0.23 fraction of a complete wave from each other i.e they are separated by 0.23λ

Vi = 4 m/s
vf = 22 m/s
t = 3s
a = ?

vf = vi + a * t
vf - vi = a * t
a = (vf - vi) / t
a = (22 - 4) / 3
a = 6 m / s^2

The brick wall (of thermal conductivity 1.12 W/m · ◦ C) of a building has dimensions of 2.8 m by 5 m and is 8 cm thick. How much
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

If H be the heat flowing in time t through an area of A having thickness d

H = k A x ( θ₂ - θ₁ ) t / d  , k is thermal conductivity , ( θ₂ - θ₁ ) is temperature difference of walls

putting the given values

= (1.12 x 2.8x 5 x 9 x 16.7 x 60 x 60) / .08

= 1.06 x 10⁸ J .

A sinusoidal wave of angular frequency 1,203 rad/s and amplitude 3.1 mm is sent along a cord with linear density 3.9 g/m and ten
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

18.7842493212 W

Explanation:

T = Tension = 1871 N

\mu = Linear density = 3.9 g/m

y = Amplitude = 3.1 mm

\omega = Angular frequency = 1203 rad/s

Average rate of energy transfer is given by

P=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{T\mu}\omega^2y^2\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{1871\times 3.9\times 10^{-3}}\times 1203^2\times (3.1\times 10^{-3})^2\\\Rightarrow P=18.7842493212\ W

The average rate at which energy is transported by the wave to the opposite end of the cord is 18.7842493212 W
