A wave is represented by the equation y = 0.20 sin [ 0.4π (x – 60t)], where x and y are in cm and t is in s. The velocity of the
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

v = 60 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

A wave is represented by the equation :

y=0.2\sin [0.4\pi (x-60)t]

We need to find the velocity of the wave

The general equation of a wave is given by :

y=A\sin (kx-\omega t) ....(1)

Equation (1) can be written as :

y=0.2\sin (0.4\pi x-24\pi t) ...(2)

If we compare equation (1) and (2) we get :

k=0.4\pi

\omega=24\pi

The velocity of a wave is given by :

v=\dfrac{\omega}{k}\\\\v=\dfrac{24\pi}{0.4\pi}\\\\v=60\ m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 60 m/s.

How many seconds did it take (after starting his descent) for the worker to hit the ground? Answer in units of s.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, to determine the time (in seconds) it took a worker to hit the ground from an elevated point. The speed the worker was coming with to the ground and the distance between the elevated point and the ground will have to be considered. Thus the formula to be used here will be

Speed (in meter per second) = distance (in meters) ÷ time (in seconds)

time (in seconds) = distance (in meters) ÷ speed (in meter per seconds)
