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.

Katarina [22]
One of the useful forns of the formula for electrical power is: Power = (voltage squared) / (resistance). Knowing that power is proportional to (voltage squared), we can see that if the voltage is reduced to 1/2, the power is reduced to 1/4 of its original value. The 220volt/60watt appliance, when operated on 110 volts, dissipates 60/4 = 15 watts.

A new planet is discovered beyond Pluto at a mean distance to the sun of 4004 million miles. Using Kepler's third law, determine
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

103239.89 days

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

                               a³ / T² = 7.496 × 10⁻⁶  (a.u.³/days²)

where,

a is the distance of the semi-major axis in a.u

T is the orbit time in days

Converting the mean distance of the new planet to astronomical unit (a.u.)

                       1 a.u = 9.296 × 10⁷ miles        

                                      \frac{4004 * 10^{6}}{9.296 * 10^{7}}  =  43.07\ a.u.

Substituting the values into Kepler's third law equation;

                                    \frac{(43.07)^{3}}{T^{2}}  =  7.496 * 10^{-6}  

                                    T^{2} = \frac{(43.07)^{3}}{7.496 * 10^{-6}} (days)²

                                    T^{2} = \sqrt{\frac{(43.07)^{3}}{7.496 * 10^{-6}}}

                                    T = 103239.89 days

An estimate time T for the new planet to travel around the sun in an orbit is 103239.89 days
