A string has 8 N of tension. When it is vibrated at 2 Hz, a standing wave forms with a wavelength of 4 cm and an amplitude of 1

cm. a bead of negligible mass is glued to the middle of the string.
If the bead is at a node, what total distance will it move in 1 second?

Total distance moved by bead is 1.952 cm.

Explanation:

Let first consider all data that are given in question.

1.    F = 8 N                       ...force acting on string

2.   f  = 2 Hz                     ...frequency of system

3.   β = 4 cm = 0.04 m    ...wavelength of wave formed due to vibration                        

4.   A =  1 cm  = 0.01 m     ...Amplitude of vibration

Under certain conditions, waves can bounce back and forth through a particular region, effectively becoming stationary. These are called standing waves.

Here,it is due to vibration induced in spring due to tension induced in string

Standing wave equation is given by

y=(x,t)= 2A \times sin Kx \times cos(w t)     ...(1)

Let first find, value of K, x, w, t

K=  \frac{2*\pi}{\beta }                   ....(2)

      where β is wavelength in meters

                  K is wave number

K=  \frac{2*\pi}{0.01 }

K=  628.31  \    m^{-1}

now, let us find value of w

w = 2 \times \pi \times f          ....(3)

       where f is frequency in hertz

w = 2 \times \pi \times 2

w = 4 \times \pi

w= 12.5664   rad

now, let us find value of v that is wave speed

v= f \times \beta

v= 2 \times 0.04 \\ v= 0.08 \frac{m}{s}

y=(x,t)= 2A \times sin Kx \times cos(w t)

Notice that some x-positions of the resultant wave are always zero no matter what the phase relationship is.  These positions are called nodes.

Finding the positions where the sine function equals zero provides the positions of the nodes.

sin (K \times x) = 0 \\  K \times x  = \pi , 2\pi ,3\pi ,...

In our case,

K \times x= \pi       and      

x= \frac{\beta }{2}   \\  x= \frac{0.04}{2} \\x= 0.02

y=(0.02,1)= 2A \times sin Kx \times cos(w t)

y=(0.02,1)= 2\times0.01 \times sin \pi \times cos(12.5664 \times 1)

y=(0.02,1)= 2\times0.01 \times (-1) \times 0.9761

y=(0.02,1)=  0.01952  m  = 1.952 cm

Finally, when bead is at middle of the string, total distance after stretch covered  is 1.952 cm.

3. As the duration of a maximal effort increases from 10 seconds or less to between 10 and 180 seconds, what factor becomes limi
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Anaerobic energy

Explanation:

Anaerobic energy is produced at maximal effort within a very short period, anaerobic energy is energy produced when effort is expended at quick bursts and usually less than 10 seconds.

Therefore, if maximal effort time is increased beyond 10 seconds, the energy produced is not anaerobic and as such, anaerobic energy is limited.

An electrician is creating a wiring plan for a small house. He needs to create a plan that will allow the homeowners to turn off
Naily [24]
So the answer is B) he should wire each room in parallel. This is because when the bulbs are in parallel if one part of the parallel circuit is broken (eg when you switch a light off) then the current can still flow to all the other bulbs, meaning they stay turned on. Hope this helps :)

kvasek [131]

Answer:

73.6 minutes

Explanation:

relative time = time interval / √(1 - observer velocity² / speed of light²)

we have relative time. we want time interval.

rearrange

time interval = relative time x √(1 - observer velocity² / speed of light²)

convert 85 mins into seconds

85 x 60 = 5100

1.5 x 10⁸ as a number is 150000000

for c = 299 792 458

time interval = 5100 x √(1 - 150 000 000² / 299 792 458²)

for c = 3 x 10⁸

time interval = 5100 x √(1 - 150 000 000² / 300 000 000²)

time interval = 5100 x 0.866

time interval = 4415.71

divide by 60 for back into minutes

time = 73.6 minutes
