Answer:
A) The wave that travels through the rail reaches the microphone first.
B) separation in time between the arrivals of the two pulses is 0.01539 seconds.
Explanation:
Detailed explanation and calculation is shown in the image below
Speed= distance/time
Speed= 150000m/7200s=20.83m/s(cor.to.2d.p.)
Taiga is the answer.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
f = 6.37 Hz, T = 0.157 s
Explanation:
The expression you have is
y = 5 sin (3x - 40t)
this is the equation of a traveling wave, the general form of the expression is
y = A sin (kx - wt)
where A is the amplitude of the motion, k the wave vector and w the angular velocity
Angle velocity and frequency are related
w = 2π f
f = w / 2π
from the equation w = 40 rad / s
f = 40 / 2π
f = 6.37 Hz
frequency and period are related
f = 1 / T
T = 1 / f
T = 1 / 6.37
T = 0.157 s
