Answer:
Please find attached, the required wave drawn with MS Excel
Explanation:
Functions that represent waves is given as follows
A general form of the wave equation is A·sin(B·x) + D
Where;
B = 2·π/T
T = The period of the wave = 1/f
D = The vertical shift of the wave = 0
A = The amplitude of the wave = 1 for sine wave
v = The wave velocity
λ = The wavelength of the wave
f = The frequency of the wave
v = f·λ
At constant <em>v</em>, λ ∝ 1/f
∴ λ ∝ T
Where T = 3, we have;
B = 2·π/T
∴ B = 2·π/3
Therefore, we have the wave with an amplitude of 1 cm, and wavelength, 3 cm, given as follows
y = sin((2·π/3)·x)
Plotting the above wave with MS Excel, we can get the attached wave
Answer:
122.5 N/m
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, if there is no air resistance or frictional forces, the initial elastic potential energy of the spring toy is entirely converted into gravitational potential energy when the toy reaches the highest point.
Therefore, we can write:
where the term on the left is the initial elastic potential energy while the term on the right is the gravitational potential energy, and where
k is the spring constant
x = 0.02 m is the compression of the spring
m = 0.01 kg is the mass of the toy
h = 0.25 m is the height reached by the toy
is the acceleration due to gravity
Solving for k,
