A string with a length of 0.75 m is fixed at both ends. (a) What is the longest possible wavelength for the traveling waves that

can interfere to form a standing wave on this string? (b) If waves travel with a speed of 130 m/s on this string, what is the frequency associated with this longest wavelength?

Answer:

a) Longest wavelength is: $\lambda_{1}=2*0.75=1.5\: m$

b) The frequency associated with this longest wavelength is: $f=86.7\: Hz$

Explanation:

a)

The wavelength equation of a standing wave is given by:

$\lambda_{n}=\frac{2}{n}L$

Where:

L is the length of the string
n is a natural number

We use n=1 to find the longest possible wavelength, so we will have:

$\lambda_{1}=2L$

$\lambda_{1}=2*0.75=1.5\: m$

b)

The speed of the wave is given by:

$v=f\lambda$

So we just need to find the f (frequency).

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f=\frac{130}{1.5}$

$f=86.7\: Hz$

I hope it helps you!

That would depend on the man’s starting latitude. If 6.7 mi south of the north pole, for example, the resultant would be 6.7 mi due north of the starting point.

A particle moving along the x-axis has its position described by the function x=(3.00t3−1.00t 2.00)m where t is in s. at t = 4.0

prohojiy [21]

X =(3.00x4.00 x3-1.00t x 2.00) x m

x= (12.00x3- 1.00 x2.00) x m
x= 36.00 -1.00 x 2.00) x m
x = (36.00 -2.00) x m
x =( 34.00) x m
x =34.00 times m

The particle, initially at rest, is acted upon only by the electric force and moves from point a to point b along the x axis, in

bezimeni [28]

1) Potential difference: 1 V

2) $V_b-V_a = -1 V$

Explanation:

1)

When a charge moves in an electric field, its electric potential energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy; this change in electric potential energy is given by

$\Delta U=q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge's magnitude

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference between the initial and final position

In this problem, we have:

$q=4.80\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge

$\Delta U = 4.80\cdot 10^{-19}J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

Therefore, the potential difference (in magnitude) is

$\Delta V=\frac{\Delta U}{q}=\frac{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}=1 V$

2)

Here we have to evaluate the direction of motion of the particle.

We have the following informations:

- The electric potential increases in the +x direction

- The particle is positively charged and moves from point a to b

Since the particle is positively charged, it means that it is moving from higher potential to lower potential (because a positive charge follows the direction of the electric field, so it moves away from the source of the field)

This means that the final position b of the charge is at lower potential than the initial position a; therefore, the potential difference must be negative:

$V_b-V_a = - 1V$

g A 1.45-kg block is pushed against a vertical wall by means of a spring (k = 860 N/m). The coefficient of static friction betwe

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The minimum compression is $x= 0.046m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is $m_b = 1.45 kg$

The spring constant is $k = 860 N/m$

The coefficient of static friction is $\mu = 0.36$

For the the block not slip it mean the sum of forces acting on the horizontal axis is equal to the forces acting on the vertical axis

Now the force acting on the vertical axis is the force due to gravity which is mathematically given as

$F_y = m_b*g$

And the force acting on the horizontal axis is force due to the spring which is mathematically represented as

$F_x = k *x * \mu$

where x is the minimum compression to keep the block from slipping

Now equating this two formulas and making x the subject

$x = \frac{m_b * g}{k * \mu}$

substituting values we have

$x = \frac{1.45 * 9.8}{860 *0.36}$

$x= 0.046m$
