Answer:
Average speed = 3.63 m/s
Explanation:
The average speed during any time interval is equal to the total distance travelled divided by the total time.
That is,
Average speed = distance/ time
Let d represent the distance between A and B.
Let t1 be the time for which she has the higher speed of 5.15 m/s. Therefore,
5.15 = d/t1.
Make d the subject of formula
d = 5.15t1
Let t2 represent the longer time for the return trip at 2.80 m/s . That is,
2.80 = d/t2.
Then the times are t1 = d/5.15 5 and
t2 = d/2.80.
The average speed vavg is given by the following equation.
avg speed = Total distance/Total time
Avg speed = d + d/t1 + t2
Where
Total distance = 2d
Total time = t1 + t2
Total time = d/5.15 + d/2.80
Total time = (2.8d + 5.15d)/14.42
Total time = 7.95d/14.42
Total time = 0.55d
Substitute total distance and time into the formula above.
Avg speed = 2d / 0.55d
Avg Speed = 3.63 m/s
Answer:
It will be cut in half
Explanation:
The diffraction of a slit is given by the formula
a sin θ = m where
a = width of the slit,
λ = wavelength and
m = integer that determines the order of diffraction.
Next we divide both sides by a, we have
sin θ = m λ / a
Also, recall that
a’ = 2 a
Then we substitute in the previous equation
2asin θ' = m λ, if divide by 2a, we have
sin θ' = (m λ / 2a).
Now again, from the first equation, we said that sin θ = m λ / a, so we substitute
sin θ ’= sin θ / 2
Then we use trigonometry to find the width, we say
tan θ = y / L
Since the angle is small, we then have
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ
tan θ = sin θ, this then means that
sin θ = y / L
we will then substitute
y’ / L = y/L 1/2
y' = y / 2
this means that when the slit width is doubled the pattern width will then be halved
Answer:
x(t) = - 6 cos 2t
Explanation:
Force of spring = - kx
k= spring constant
x= distance traveled by compressing
But force = mass × acceleration
==> Force = m × d²x/dt²
===> md²x/dt² = -kx
==> md²x/dt² + kx=0 ------------------------(1)
Now Again, by Hook's law
Force = -kx
==> 960=-k × 400
==> -k =960 /4 =240 N/m
ignoring -ve sign k= 240 N/m
Put given data in eq (1)
We get
60d²x/dt² + 240x=0
==> d²x/dt² + 4x=0
General solution for this differential eq is;
x(t) = A cos 2t + B sin 2t ------------------------(2)
Now initially
position of mass spring
at time = 0 sec
x (0) = 0 m
initial velocity v= = dx/dt= 6m/s
from (2) we have;
dx/dt= -2Asin 2t +2B cost 2t = v(t) --- (3)
put t =0 and dx/dt = v(0) = -6 we get;
-2A sin 2(0)+2Bcos(0) =-6
==> 2B = -6
B= -3
Putting B = 3 in eq (2) and ignoring first term (because it is not possible to find value of A with given initial conditions) - we get
x(t) = - 6 cos 2t
==>
