A stretched string has a mass per unit length of 5.00 g/cm and a tension of 10.0 N. A sinusoidal wave on this string has an ampl

itude of 0.12 mm and a frequency of 100 Hz and is traveling in the negative direction of an x axis. If the wave equation is of the form y(x, t) = ym sin(kx ± ωt), what are (a) ym, (b) k, (c) ω, and (d) the correct choice of sign in front of ω?

Answer:

0.12 mm ; 140.50 rad/m ; 628.32 rad/sec ; +

Explanation:

Given the wave equation of the form :

y(x, t) = ym sin(kx ± ωt)

Mas per unit length (u) = 5 g/cm = (5÷1000)kg / 0.01m) = 0.005kg/0.01m = 0.5kg/m

Tension, T = 10 N

Amplitude, A = 0.12 mm

Frequency, F = 100 Hz

Comparing with the general wave equation :

y = Asin(kx ± ωt)

A = amplitude = ym = 0.12 mm

2.) k = 2π / λ

Recall :

v = fλ

v = sqrt(T/u) = sqrt(10/0.5) = sqrt(20) = 4.472

λ = v/ f = 4.472 / 100 = 0.04472

Hence,

k = (2 * π) / 0.04472

k = 140.50 rad/m

3.) Angular frequency, ω

ω = 2πf = 2 * 3.14 * 100 = 628.32 rad/sec

4.) sign is +ve

Direction of wave propagation as given is in the negative x axis

You can use map and notice one thinh. If you flipp over the edges of continents and put them together, you will get a big single continent that is called pangaea. Practically it's impossible but it could be imagined.

An electric current flows through a parallel circuit. Which units tell you about the amount of electrons traveling in the circui
kompoz [17]

'Ampere' is the unit of current.  That's the rate at which
electrons travel in the circuit ... the number of electrons
every second.  If you wanted the actual amount or number
of electrons, you'd need to know the length of time too.

It doesn't matter whether we're talking about a parallel or
series circuit.

Imani stirs a cup of hot sencha tea with a cool silver spoon. She notices that the silver spoon becomes warmer. What energy chan
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer

Explanation:

When the silver spoon at a lower temperature than the tea, is added to the tea, it makes thermal contact. Hence, the heat transfer starts between the two until the equilibrium is reached. We know that the heat transfer takes place from the body with a higher temperature to a body with a lower temperature. As a result, the body with higher temperature loses heat and its temperature lowers down. While the body with a lower temperature gains heat and its temperature rises.

Therefore, the correct option is:

<u>D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer</u>

The formation of lactic acid in human muscle most closely associated with
zavuch27 [327]
The formation of lactic acid in human muscles is closely associated with intense exertion or activity, during which aerobic respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy cannot be able to match the demand of energy by the muscles. The muscles therefore resort to anaerobic respiration for energy where pyruvate becomes a makeshift hydrogen acceptor rather than oxygen as happens in aerobic respiration. Pyruvate accepts a hydrogen from NADH and becomes reduced to lactate or lactic acid while NADH is oxidized to NAD which is crucial in the formation of energy that is then stored in the form of ATP which is used to re-fuel the muscles to keep them going.
