For a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion described by x(t) = (4.5 cm) cos ((3.4 Hz) t)x(t)=(4.5cm)cos((3.4Hz)t)

 Find the first two times that the particle crosses x(t) = 0.x(t)=0.

Answer:

t_1=\frac{5\pi}{17} -\frac{5\pi}{34} \approx 0.462 s\\\\t_2=\frac{10\pi}{17} -\frac{5\pi}{34} \approx1.39s

Explanation:

No matter the coeficient of the cosine function, the function will always be zero as long as the following is true:

cos(t)=0\\\\for\\\\t=\pi n-\frac{\pi}{2} ,\hspace{7}n\in Z

Now:

Rewrite 3.4 as:

3.4=\frac{17}{5}

So:

\frac{17}{5} t= \pi n -\frac{\pi}{2} \\\\Hence\\\\t=\frac{5\pi n}{17} -\frac{5\pi}{34},\hspace{7}n\in Z

Therefore the particle crosses the x-axis (x(t)=0) :

x(t)=4.5cos((3.4)t)=0,\hspace{10}When\\\\t=\frac{5\pi n}{17} -\frac{5\pi}{34},\hspace{7}n\in Z\\

The first time is when n=1, so:

t_1=\frac{5\pi(1)}{17} -\frac{5\pi}{34}=\frac{5\pi}{17} -\frac{5\pi}{34} \approx 0.462 s

And the second time is when n=2, so:

t_2=\frac{5\pi(2)}{17} -\frac{5\pi}{34}=\frac{10\pi}{17} -\frac{5\pi}{34} \approx1.39s

MICROWAVE
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Microwave is used to heat the food and uses a different form of electromagnetic radiation. The form of electromagnetic radiation used in microwaves are radio waves and infrared radiation.

The frequency of such electromagnetic waves is 2,450 megahertz (2.45 gigahertz) and the wavelength range is approximately of 30 cm (frequency = 1 GHz) to 1 mm (300 GHz).

<u>Microwaves or electromagnetic radiation produced by a magnetron, an electron tube in the microwave. The cavity of the magnetron cavity magnetron produces electromagnetic waves defined wavelength. Electromagnetic radiation strikes within the metals in the microwave and is absorbed by food. Electromagnetic radiation allows the vibration of water molecules in the food and makes the food hot.</u>

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! THANKS!<br><br> how do stars and planets effect eachother?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

"Planets May Affect the Chemistry of Their Stars. Planets are, by and large, at the mercy of their stars. Not only do stars provide a ready energy source of radiated light and heat, but the mass and gravitational pull of stars flat-out dwarfs the summed masses and pulls of any orbiting companions."
