Question

A wave has angular velocity 12 rad/sec and maximum displacement X cm (X= last two digit [1] of your student’s ID). Calculate the maximum acceleration of the wave.

Answer 1

Answer:

$a=1440\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The angular velocity of a wave, $\omega=12\ rad/s$

The maximum displacement of the wave, A = 10 cm (let)

The maximum acceleration of the wave is given by :

$a=-A\omega^2$

Put all the values,

$a=10\times 12^2\\\\a=1440\ m/s^2$

So, the maximum acceleration of the wave is equal to $1440\ m/s^2$.
