A wave traveling in the positive x-direction with a frequency of 50.0 Hz is shown in the figure below. Find the following values

for this wave: a. amplitude b. wavelength c. period d. speed

Physics

Klio2033 [76]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave from the midline to the top of the wave or the midline to the bottom of the wave (called crests). The midline then divides the whole height in half. Thus, the amplitude of this wave is 9.0 cm.

b. Wavelength is measured from the highest point of one wave to the highest point of the next wave (or from the lowest point of one wave to the lowest point of the next wave, since they are the same). The wavelength of this wave then is 20.0 cm. or \lambda=20.0cm

c. The period, or T, of a wave is found in the equation

f=\frac{1}{T} were f is the frequency of the wave. We were given the frequency, so we plug that in and solve for T:

50.0=\frac{1}{T} so

T=\frac{1}{50.0} and

T = .0200 seconds to the correct number of sig fig's (50.0 has 3 sig fig's in it)

d. The speed of the wave is found in the equation

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} and since we already have the frequency and we solved for the wavelength already, filling in:

50.0=\frac{v}{20.0} and

v = 50.0(20.0) so

v = 1.00 × 10³ m/s

And there you go!

Two technicians are discussing electromagnetic induction. Technician A says that the induced voltage can be increased if the spe
Inga [223]

Answer:Both

Explanation:

There are three ways to increase the induced voltage in electromagnetic induction:

1) increase the speed at which the conductor moves through the magnetic field. This means that the lines of flux are cut more quickly and more emf is induced.

2) use stronger magnets which provides a stronger magnetic field and more densely packed lines of flux.

3) use a coil of multiple loops.

Hence both technicians were correct.

A rock with density 1900 kg/m3 is suspended from the lower end of a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the st
wel

Answer:

the tension T2 when the rock is completely immersed is T2 =  29.05 N

Explanation:

from Newton's second law

F= m*a

where F= force , m= mass , a= acceleration

when the rock is suspended ,a=0 since it is at rest. Then

T1 - m*g = 0 , T1= tension when suspended in air , g= gravity

assuming constant density of the rock

m= ρ rock *V , where  ρ rock = density of the rock , V= volume

thus

T1= m*g = ρ rock *g*V

V=  T1/(ρ rock *g)

when the rock is submerged in oil , it receives an upward force that equals the weight of the volume of displaced oil (V displaced). Since it is completely submerged the volume displaced is the volume of the rock V=Vdisplaced  

When the rock is at rest , then

F= m*a=0

T2 + ρ oil *g*V displaced - ρ rock *g*V  =0

T2 = ρ rock *g*V - ρ oil *g*V = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil) = T1/(ρ rock *g) *g * (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = T1 * (ρ rock - ρ oil)/ρ rock

replacing values

T2 = 48 N * (1900 kg/m3- 750 kg/m3)/ 1900 kg/m3 = 29.05 N

T2 =  29.05 N

If you are traveling around a curve at a constant speed will your velocity change?
marta [7]

Velocity means [ (speed) and (direction) ].

If you're traveling around a curve, then your direction is
always changing.  So your velocity is always changing,
even if your speed isn't.
