1 answer:

7 0

Free Energy is a thermodynamic quantity given by the subtraction between the internal energy of a system and the product of its absolute temperature and entropy.
 In physics, the ability to do work.

I may not be completely sure but compare those 2 things together and you should find your answer.

A shell is fired at an angle of 35° above the horizontal at a velocity of 40 m/s. (a) What is it's speed at the highest point of

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Part a)

$v_f = v_x = 32.77 m/s$

Part b)

T = 4.68 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Shell is fired at speed of 40 m/s at angle of 35 degree

so here we have

$v_x = 40 cos35 = 32.77 m/s$

$v_y = 40 sin35 = 22.94 m/s$

since gravity act opposite to vertical speed of the shell so at the highest point of its trajectory the vertical component of the speed will become zero

so at the highest point the speed is given

$v_f = 32.77 m/s$

Part b)

After completing the motion we know that the displacement of the object will be zero in Y direction

so we have

$\Delta y = 0$

$0 = v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$T = \frac{2v_y}{g}$

$T = \frac{2(22.94)}{9.81} = 4.68 s$

Solve for the length of the inclined plane if the angle equals 19.45 degrees.

mel-nik [20]

The length of the inclined plane is approximately 12 ft

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right triangle</h3>

Right triangle have one of its angle as 90 degrees.

Therefore,

The length of the inclined plane is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The length of the inclined plane can be found using trigonometric ratios.

height = 4 ft

angle(∅) = 19.45°

sin 19.45 = 4 / h

h = 4 / 0.33298412235

h = 12.0125847796

h = 12 ft

Therefore, the length of the inclined plane is approximately 12 ft

Two transverse waves travel along the same taut string. Wave 1 is described by y1(x, t) = A sin(kx - ωt), while wave 2 is descri

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

6) Wave 1 travels in the positive x-direction, while wave 2 travels in the negative x-direction.

Explanation:

What matters is the part $kx \pm \omega t$ , the other parts of the equation don't affect time and space variations. We know that when the sign is - the wave propagates to the positive direction while when the sign is + the wave propagates to the negative direction, but here is an explanation of this:

For both cases, + and -, after a certain time $\delta t$ ( $\delta t >0$ ), the displacement y of the wave will be determined by the $kx\pm\omega (t+\delta t)$ term. For simplicity, if we imagine we are looking at the origin (x=0), this will be simply $\pm \omega (t+\delta t)$ .

To know which side, right or left of the origin, would go through the origin after a time $\delta t$ (and thus know the direction of propagation) we have to see how we can achieve that same displacement y not by a time variation but by a space variation $\delta x$ (we would be looking where in space is what we would have in the future in time). The term would be then $k(x+\delta x)\pm\omega t$ , which at the origin is $k \delta x \pm \omega t$ . This would mean that, when the original equation has $kx+\omega t$ , we must have that $\delta x>0$ for $k\delta x+\omega t$ to be equal to $kx+\omega\delta t$ , and when the original equation has $kx-\omega t$ , we must have that $\delta x$ for $k\delta x-\omega t$ to be equal to $kx-\omega \delta t$

Note that their values don't matter, although they are a very small variation (we have to be careful since all this is inside a sin function), what matters is if they are positive or negative and as such what is possible or not .

In conclusion, when $kx+\omega t$ , the part of the wave on the positive side ( $\delta x>0$ ) is the one that will go through the origin, so the wave is going in the negative direction, and viceversa.
