g Light is a traveling wave! The oscillations are oscillations of electric fields. The electric fields oscillate in the y-direct

ion while the light travels in the x direction, so we can create a wave equation Ey(x,t); Ey is the y-component of the electric field, x is position in meters, and t is time in seconds. Consider light with a wave length of 550 nanometers, a wave speed of 3.00 x 108 m/s , and an amplitude of 10 V/m (volts/meters). Construct the traveling wave equation for this light if at t = 0 seconds, the light is at its maximum positive value and is traveling in the negative x-direction. Your equation, Ey(x,t) , should only have the variables x and t (i.e. calculate the values of the relevant traveling wave quantities to three sig figures and use those in the equation you are constructing, do not use the symbols in your final answer).

Answer:

  E_{y}  (x,t)= 10 cos (1.15 10⁻¹¹ x - 3.427 10¹⁵ t)

Explanation:

The general equation of a traveling wave on the x-axis is

        E_{y}(x,t) = E₀ cos (kx -wt)

the amplitude of the wave is E₀ = 10 V / m

the wave number is

         k = 2π /λ

indicate the value of   λ = 550 nm = 550 10⁻⁹ m

we substitute

         k = 2π / 550 10⁻⁹

         k = 1.15 10⁻¹¹ m⁻¹

angular velocity is related to frequency

          w = 2πf

           

the speed of light is related to the wavelength and frequency

           c = λ f

           f = c /λ

we substitute

           w = 2\pi  \frac{c}\lambda }

           w = 2π  3 10⁸/550 10⁻⁹

           w = 3.427 10¹⁵ rad / s

we substitute in the electric field equation

           E_{y}  (x,t)= 10 cos (1.15 10⁻¹¹ x - 3.427 10¹⁵ t)

Let's test the value of this wave for t = 0 at the point x = 0, the wave is worth

           Ey (0,0) = 10

which corresponds to its maximum positive value, therefore this is the expression of the traveling wave

Which statement provides the best description of a computational model?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Computation modeling is used as the software for math, physics, or software engineering in the simulation and study of complicated processes. The software framework incorporates many parameters, that characterize the model under study. It is a computer program, in which the mathematical formula is generated by computers and research complex systems.

A satellite is in a circular orbit around Mars, which has a mass M = 6.40 × 1023 kg and radius R = 3.40 ×106 m.
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a) The orbital speed of a satellite with a orbital radius R (in meters) will have an orbital speed of approximately \displaystyle \sqrt\frac{4.27 \times 10^{13}}{R}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

b) Again, if the orbital radius R is in meters, the orbital period of the satellite would be approximately \displaystyle 9.62 \times 10^{-7}\, R^{3/2}\; \rm s.

c) The orbital radius required would be approximately \rm 2.04 \times 10^7\; m.

d) The escape velocity from the surface of that planet would be approximately \rm 5.01\times 10^3\; m \cdot s^{-1}.

Explanation:

<h3>a)</h3>

Since the orbit of this satellite is circular, it is undergoing a centripetal motion. The planet's gravitational attraction on the satellite would supply this centripetal force.

The magnitude of gravity between two point or spherical mass is equal to:

\displaystyle \frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r^{2}},

where

  • G is the constant of universal gravitation.
  • M is the mass of the first mass. (In this case, let M be the mass of the planet.)
  • m is the mass of the second mass. (In this case, let m be the mass of the satellite.)  
  • r is the distance between the center of mass of these two objects.

On the other hand, the net force on an object in a centripetal motion should be:

\displaystyle \frac{m \cdot v^{2}}{r},

where

  • m is the mass of the object (in this case, that's the mass of the satellite.)
  • v is the orbital speed of the satellite.
  • r is the radius of the circular orbit.

Assume that gravitational force is the only force on the satellite. The net force should be equal to the planet's gravitational attraction on the satellite. Equate the two expressions and solve for v:

\displaystyle \frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r^{2}} = \frac{m \cdot v^{2}}{r}.

\displaystyle v^2 = \frac{G \cdot M}{r}.

\displaystyle v = \sqrt{\frac{G \cdot M}{r}}.

Take G \approx 6.67 \times \rm 10^{-11} \; m^3 \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2},  Simplify the expression v:

\begin{aligned} v &= \sqrt{\frac{G \cdot M}{r}} \cr &= \sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times \rm 10^{-11} \times 6.40 \times 10^{23}}{r}} \cr &\approx \sqrt{\frac{4.27 \times 10^{13}}{r}} \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \end{aligned}.

<h3>b)</h3>

Since the orbit is a circle of radius R, the distance traveled in one period would be equal to the circumference of that circle, 2 \pi R.

Divide distance with speed to find the time required.

\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{s}{v} \cr &= 2 \pi R}\left/\sqrt{\frac{G \cdot M}{R}} \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right. \cr &= \frac{2\pi R^{3/2}}{\sqrt{G \cdot M}} \cr &\approx  9.62 \times 10^{-7}\, R^{3/2}\; \rm s\end{aligned}.

<h3>c)</h3>

Convert 24.6\; \rm \text{hours} to seconds:

24.6 \times 3600 = 88560\; \rm s

Solve the equation for R:

9.62 \times 10^{-7}\, R^{3/2}= 88560.

R \approx 2.04 \times 10^7\; \rm m.

<h3>d)</h3>

If an object is at its escape speed, its kinetic energy (KE) plus its gravitational potential energy (GPE) should be equal to zero.

\displaystyle \text{GPE} = -\frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r} (Note the minus sign in front of the fraction. GPE should always be negative or zero.)

\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^{2}.

Solve for v. The value of m shouldn't matter, for it would be eliminated from both sides of the equation.

\displaystyle -\frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r} + \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^{2}= 0.

\displaystyle v = \sqrt{\frac{2\, G \cdot M}{R}} \approx 5.01\times 10^{3}\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}.
