Answer : First of all, to harness the solar energy and utilize it for the decomposition of water to make hydrogen fuel cell seems to be easy but practically it has many hurdles in its way. It might not work well, when the days would not be sunny. Also, the production of hydrogen fuel would require decomposing water which may need a high energy of activation, which would be more than the energy that will be produced from the fuel cell.

The challenge that scientists will face with this task is the production of hydrogen since hydrolysis or the <span>decomposition of water (H2O) requires a certain amount of energy to be supplied. Scientists should look at how much is this energy supplied. It can be more than what would be produced from the fuel cells which will eventually result to a loss.</span>

(a) Write an equation describing a sinusoidal transverse wave traveling on a cord in the positive of a y axis with an angular wa
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Missing data: the wave number

k=60 cm^{-1}

(a)  z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)

For a transverse wave travelling in the positive y-direction and with vibration along the z-direction, the equation of the wave is

z = A sin (ky-\omega t)

where

A is the amplitude of the wave

k is the wave number

\omega is the angular frequency

t is the time

In this situation:

A = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m is the amplitude

k = 60 cm^{-1} = 6000 m^{-1} is the wave number

T = 0.20 s is the period, so the angular frequency is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.20}=31.4 rad/s

So, the wave equation (in meters) is

z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)

(b) 0.094 m/s

For a transverse wave, the transverse speed is equal to the derivative of the displacement of the wave, so in this case:

v_t = z' = -A \omega cos (ky-\omega t)

So the maximum transverse wave occurs when the cosine term is equal to 1, therefore the maximum transverse speed must be

v_{t}_{max} =\omega A

where

\omega = 31.4 rad/s\\A = 0.003 m

Substituting,

v_{t}_{max}=(31.4)(0.003)=0.094 m/s

(c) 5.24 mm/s

The wave speed is given by

v=f \lambda

where

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

The frequency can be found from the angular frequency:

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{31.4}{2\pi}=5 Hz

While the wavelength can be found from the wave number:

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{6000}=1.05\cdot 10^{-3} m

Therefore, the wave speed is

v=(5)(1.05\cdot 10^{-3} )=5.24 \cdot 10^{-3} m/s = 5.24 mm/s

A small object with a 5.0-mC charge is accelerating horizontally on a friction-free surface at 0.0050 m/s2 due only to an electr
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

0.002 N/C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Charge of object, q = 5 mC = 5 * 10^{-3} C

Acceleration of object, a = 0.005 m/s^2

Mass of object, m = 2.0 g

The Electric field exerts a particular force on the object, causing it to accelerate (Electrostatic force).

We know that Electrostatic force, F, is given in terms of Electric field, E, as:

F = qE

This means that the object exerts a force of -qE on the Electric force (Action with equal and opposite reaction).

The object also has a force, F, due to its acceleration a. This force is the product of its mass and acceleration. Mathematically:

F = ma

Equating the two forces of the object, we get:

-qE = ma

=> E = \frac{-ma}{q}

Solving for E, we have:

E = \frac{-2 * 10^{-3} * 0.005}{5 * 10^{-3}} \\\\\\E = -0.002 N/C

The magnitude will be:

|E| = |-0.002| N/C = 0.002 N/C

The electric field has a magnitude of 0.002 N/C.

How can we calculate force
lutik1710 [3]

To calculate force, use the formula force equals mass times acceleration, or F = m × a. Make sure that the mass measurement you're using is in kilograms and the acceleration is in meters over seconds squared. When you've solved the equation, the force will be measured in Newtons.
