itude of 0.143 mm and a frequency of 76.9 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, and (c) ω, and (d) the correct choice of sign in front of ω?

Answer:

a. 0.143 mm b. 77.6 rad/m c. 483.18 rad/s  d. +1

Explanation:

a. ym

Since the amplitude is 0.143 mm, ym = amplitude = 0.143 mm

b. k

We know k = wave number = 2π/λ where λ = wavelength.

Also, λ = v/f where v = speed of wave in string = √(T/μ) where T = tension in string = 19.3 N and μ = mass per unit length = 5.12 g/cm = 5.12 ÷ 1000 kg/(1 ÷ 100 m) = 0.512 kg/m and f = frequency = 76.9 Hz.

So, λ = v/f = √(T/μ)/f

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

λ = √(T/μ)/f

= √(19.6 N/0.512 kg/m)/76.9 Hz

= √(38.28 Nkg/m)/76.9 Hz

= 6.187 m/s ÷ 76.9 Hz

= 0.081 m

= 81 mm

So, k = 2π/λ

= 2π/0.081 m

= 77.6 rad/m

c. ω

ω = angular frequency = 2πf where f = frequency of wave = 76.9 Hz

So, ω = 2πf

= 2π × 76.9 Hz

= 483.18 rad/s

d. The correct choice of sign in front of ω?

Since the wave is travelling in the negative x - direction, the sign in front of ω is positive. That is +1.

A certain brand of hot-dog cooker works by applying a potential difference of 120 V across opposite ends of a hot dog and allowi
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The time it will take to cook three hot dogs simultaneously is 2.5 minutes

Explanation:

Here we have, the Energy of electric heating given by Joule heating that is;

P = IV = 120×10 = 1200 J/s = 1.2 kJ/s

Since the energy required to cook one hotdog = 60.0 kJ we have

Energy required to cook three hot dogs = 3 × 60.0 kJ  = 180.0 kJ

Therefore, the time required to cook the three hot dogs is

(180.0 kJ)/(1.2 kJ/s) = 150 s

The time it takes to cook three hot dogs simultaneously is

150 seconds or 150/60 minutes which is 2 minutes 30 seconds or 2.5 minutes

Tech A says that as engines gain miles, the spark plug gap increases, which raises the ignition system’s available voltage. Tech
Ugo [173]

Answer: Tech A is correct

Explanation:

Every vehicle has ignition system and without this system,it will not work. The battery of everything vehicle contain energy that start the vehicle and ignore it to start working. Electrical current move from the vehicle's battery and get to the induction coil, the induction coil increases the voltage in it so that the plug will be ignited. The spark plugs produce fire. The spark plug is connected to the ignition system. Once voltage is produced from the induction coil, electrical impulses move from induction coil to insulated plug wires. The spark plug need a very high voltage from the small voltage battery. Once the high voltage exceed the dielectric strength of the gases, spark jump the gap between the plug's fire end.

At locations A and B, the electric potential has the values VA=1.51 VVA=1.51 V and VB=5.81 V,VB=5.81 V, respectively. A proton r
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

<u>For proton:</u>

A. The proton is released from Vb (highest potential)

B. v = 2.9x10⁴ m/s

<u>For electron:</u>

A. The electron is released from Va (lowest potential)

B. v = 1.2x10⁶ m/s    

Explanation:

<u>For a proton we have</u>:

A. To find the origin from which the proton was released we need to remember that in a potential difference, a proton moves from the highest potential to the lowest potential.                

Having that:

Va = 1.51 V and Vb = 5.81 V

We can see that the proton moves from Vb to Va, hence the proton was released from Vb.

B. We now that the work done by an electric field is given by:

W = \Delta Vq    (1)                                        

Where:

q: is the proton's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C    

V: is the potential    

Also, the work is equal to:

W = \Delta K = (K_{a} - K_{b}) = \frac{1}{2}mv_{a}^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mv_{b}^{2}     (2)      

Where:

K: is the kinetic energy

m: is the proton's mass = 1.67x10⁻²⁷ kg

v_{a}: is the velocity in the point a

v_{b}: is the velocity in the point b = 0 (starts from rest)

Matching equation (1) with (2) we have:

\Delta Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv_{a}^{2}

(5.81 V - 1.51 V)*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C = \frac{1}{2}1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*v_{a}^{2}

v_{a} = 2.9 \cdot 10^{4} m/s

<u>For an electron we have</u>:

A. For an electron we know that it moves from the lowest potential (Va) to the highest potential (Vb), so it is released from Va.

B. The speed is:

\Delta Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv_{b}^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mv_{a}^{2}

Since v_{a} = 0 (starts from rest) and m_{e} = 9.1x10⁻³¹ kg (electron's mass), we have:

(5.81 V - 1.51 V)*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C = \frac{1}{2}9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg*v_{b}^{2}    

v_{b} = 1.2 \cdot 10^{6} m/s

I hope it helps you!

1 mole of air undergoes a Carnot cycle. The hot reservoir is at 800 oC and the cold reservoir is at 25 oC. The pressure ranges b
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The net work produced is 30.37 KJ

The efficiency of cycle is 72.3%

Explanation:

For the net work produced, we have the formula:

Work = (Th - Tc)(Sh - Sc)(M)

Where,

Th = higher temperature = 800° C + 273 = 1073 k

Tc = lower temperature = 25° C + 273 = 298 k

Sh = specific entropy at higher temperature

Sc = specific entropy at lower temperature

M = molar mass of air

Using, ideal gas table to find entropy. The table is attached.

therefore,

Work = (1073 k - 298 k)(3.0485235 KJ/kg.k - 1.69528 KJ/kg.k)(0.02896 kg)

Work = (775 k)(1.3532435 KJ/kg.k)(0.02896 kg)

<u>Work = 30.37 KJ</u>

Now, for the efficiency (n), we have a formula:

n = 1 - Tc/Th

n = 1 - (298 k)/(1073 k)

<u>n = 0.723 = 72.3 %</u>
