The frequency of a wave is 200 Hz. The wavelength is 0.1 m. What is the period of the wave?
Aleks04 [339]
The formula for the period of wave is: wave period is equals to 1 over the frequency.waveperiod=\frac{1}{frequency}
To get the value of period of wave you need to divide 1 by 200 Hz. However, beforehand, you have to convert 200 Hz to cycles per second. So that would be, 200 cyles per second or 200/s.
By then, you can start the computation by dividing 1 by 200/s. Since 200/s is in fractional form, you have to find its reciprocal form and multiply it to one which would give you 1 (one) second over 200. This would then lead us to the value 0.005 seconds as the wave period.

wave period= 1/200 Hz
Convert Hz to cycles per second first
200 Hz x 1/s= 200/second
Make 200/second as your divisor, so:

wave period= 1/ 200/s

get the reciprocal form of 200/s which is s/200

then you can start the actual computation:

wave period= 1 x s divided by 200

this would give us an answer of 0.005 s.

Usain Bolt's world-record 100 m sprint on August 16, 2009, has been analyzed in detail. At the start of the race, the 94.0 kg Bo
ZanzabumX [31]

a) 893 N

b) 8.5 m/s

c) 3816 W

d) 69780 J

e) 8030 W

Explanation:

a)

The net force acting on Bolt during the acceleration phase can be written using Newton's second law of motion:

F_{net}=ma

where

m is Bolt's mass

a is the acceleration

In the first 0.890 s of motion, we have

m = 94.0 kg (Bolt's mass)

a=9.50 m/s^2 (acceleration)

So, the net force is

F_{net}=(94.0)(9.50)=893 N

And according to Newton's third law of motion, this force is equivalent to the force exerted by Bolt on the ground (because they form an action-reaction pair).

b)

Since Bolt's motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can find his final speed by using the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the  final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

In the first phase of Bolt's race we have:

u = 0 m/s (he starts from rest)

a=9.50 m/s^2 (acceleration)

t = 0.890 s (duration of the first phase)

Solving for v,

v=0+(9.50)(0.890)=8.5 m/s

c)

First of all, we can calculate the work done by Bolt to accelerate to a speed of

v = 8.5 m/s

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy, so

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-0

where

m = 94.0 kg is Bolt's mass

v = 8.5 m/s is Bolt's final speed after the first phase

K_i = 0 J is the initial kinetic energy

So the work done is

W=\frac{1}{2}(94.0)(8.5)^2=3396 J

The power expended is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

t = 0.890 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

P=\frac{3396}{0.890}=3816 W

d)

First of all, we need to find what is the average force exerted by Bolt during the remaining 8.69 s of motion.

In the first 0.890 s, the force exerted was

F_1=893 N

We know that the average force for the whole race is

F_{avg}=820 N

Which can be rewritten as

F_{avg}=\frac{0.890 F_1 + 8.69 F_2}{0.890+8.69}

And solving for F_2, we find the average force exerted by Bolt on the ground during the second phase:

F_{avg}=\frac{0.890 F_1 + 8.69 F_2}{0.890+8.69}\\F_2=\frac{(0.890+8.69)F_{avg}-0.890F_1}{8.69}=812.5 N

The net force exerted by Bolt during the second phase can be written as

F_{net}=F_2-D (1)

where D is the air drag.

The net force can also be rewritten as

F_{net}=ma

where

a=\frac{v-u}{t} is the acceleration in the second phase, with

u = 8.5 m/s is the initial speed

v = 12.4 m/s is the final speed

t = 8.69 t is the time elapsed

Substituting,

a=\frac{12.4-8.5}{8.69}=0.45 m/s^2

So we can now find the average drag force from (1):

D=F_2-F_{net}=F_2-ma=812.5 - (94.0)(0.45)=770.2 N

So the increase in Bolt's internal energy is just equal to the work done by the drag force, so:

\Delta E=W=Ds

where

d is Bolt's displacement in the second part, which can be found by using suvat equation:

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{12.4^2-8.5^2}{2(0.45)}=90.6 m

And so,

\Delta E=Ds=(770.2)(90.6)=69780 J

e)

The power that Bolt must expend just to voercome the drag force is given by

P=\frac{\Delta E}{t}

where

\Delta E is the increase in internal energy due to the air drag

t is the time elapsed

Here we have:

\Delta E=69780 J

t = 8.69 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

P=\frac{69780}{8.69}=8030 W

And we see that it is about twice larger than the power calculated in part c.
