Four traveling waves are described by the following equations, where all quantities are measured in SI units and y represents th

e displacement. I: y = 0.12 cos(3x - 21t) II: y = 0.15 sin(6x + 42t) III: y = 0.13 cos(6x + 21t) IV: y = -0.27 sin(3x - 42t) Which of these waves have the same period?

Answer:

T_1=T_3=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}

T_2=T_4=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}

Explanation:

Wave 1, y_1=0.12\ cos(3x-21t)

Wave 2, y_2=0.15\ sin(6x+42t)

Wave 3, y_3=0.13\ cos(6x+21t)

Wave 4, y_4=-0.27\ sin(3x-42t)

The general equation of travelling wave is given by :

y=A\ cos(kx\pm \omega t)

The value of \omega will remain the same if we take phase difference into account.

For first wave,

\omega_1=21

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_1}=21

T_1=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}

For second wave,

\omega_2=42

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_2}=42

T_2=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}

For the third wave,

\omega_3=21

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_3}=21

T_3=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}

For the fourth wave,

\omega_4=42

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_4}=42

T_4=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}

It is clear from above calculations that waves 1 and 3 have same time period. Also, wave 2 and 4 have same time period. Hence, this is the required solution.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

1 × 10⁶ N/C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field between the membrane = surface density / permittivity of free space = 10 ⁻⁵C/ m² / (8.85 × 10⁻¹²N⁻¹m⁻²C²) = 1.13 × 10⁶ N/C approx 1 × 10⁶ N/C

Lesechka [4]

Answer: 0.817A

Explanation:

Assuming , that one coulomb per second of negative charge alone flow through a conductor and no positive charges flow. I.e Q=It

It means a current of one A flow in the opposite direction.

This is similar to one coulomb per second of positive charge flowing through and there is no negative charge,

In addition, the one coulomb per second of positive charge flows. This is flowing in the current direction of the previous one. Then, the total current is 2 A. Since 2 coulomb of positive charges flow through one due to real positive charge and another due to the negative charge flowing in opposite direction.The charges cannot cancel each other, because even before the current flow the conductor was neutral.

According to this, the current in the given problem is

[2.7 + 2.4] x 10 ^ 18 * 1.602 x 10^ [-19] C/s

= 0.817 A

A lumberjack (mass = 103 kg) is standing at rest on one end of a floating log (mass = 255 kg) that is also at rest. The lumberja
mina [271]

Answer:

(a) -1.18 m/s

(b) 0.84 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

The total linear momentum before the lumberjack begins to move is zero because all parts of the system are at res

From the law of conservation of momentum

m1v1+m2v2=0 hence m1v1=-m2v2 where m1 is mass of lumberjack, v1 is velocity of lumberjeck, m2 is mass of floating log, v2 is velocity of the floating log.

Substituting M1 for 103 Kg, V1 for 2.93 m/s, M2 for 255 Kg into the above equation we obtain

103Kg*2.93 m/s=-255Kg*V2

V2=-(103 kg*2.93 m/s)/255=-1.183490196  m/s

Hence V2=-1.18 m/s

(b)

For the second log

V(M1+M2)=m1v1 where V is the common velocity

V(103 Kg+255 Kg)=103 Kg*2.93 m/s

V=(103 Kg*2.93 m/s)/(103 Kg+255 Kg)=0.842988827  m/s

V=0.84 m/s
