Answer:

A. 50 Hz

B. 2 m/s

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 20 ms to s. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 ms = 1 s

Therefore,

20 ms = 20 ms × 1 s / 1000 ms

20 ms = 0.02 s

Next, we shall convert the value of the wavelength (i.e 4cm) to m. This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

4 cm = 4 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

4 cm = 0.04 m

A. Determination of the frequency.

Period (T) = 0.02 s

Frequency (f) =?

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 0.02

f = 50 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 50 Hz

B. Determination of the velocity.

Wavelength (λ) = 0.04 m

Frequency (f) = 50 Hz

Velocity (v) =?

v = λf

V = 0.04 × 50

v = 2 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the wave is 2 m/s

A light platform is suspended from the ceiling by a spring. A student with a mass of 90 kg climbs onto the platform. When it sto
Ilya [14]
Refer to the diagram shown.

When the student climbs onto the platform, the spring stretches by 0.82 m to reach the equilibrium position.
The mass of the student is m = 90 kg, so his weight is
mg = (90 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 882 N

By definition, the spring constant is
k = (882 N)/(0.82 m) = 1075.6 N/m

When the spring is stretched by x from the equilibrium position, the restoring force is
F = - k*x.

If damping is ignored, the equation of motion is
F = m * acceleration
or
m \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} = -kx \\ \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} + \frac{k}{m} x = 0

Define ω² = k/m = 11.751 => ω = 3.457.
Then the solution of the ODE is
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt) + c₂ sin(ωt)

x'(t) = -c₁ω sin(ωwt) + c₂ω cos(ωt)
When t=0, x' =0, therefore c₂ = 0

The solution is of the form
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt)
When t = 0, x = 0.32 m. Therefore c₁ = 0.32

The motion is
x(t) = 0.32 cos(3.457t)
The single amplitude is 0.32 m, and the double amplitude is 0.64 m.

Answer: 
0.32 m (single amplitude), or
0.64 m (double amplitude)

Add these two velocity vectors to find the magnitude of their resultant vector.
hammer [34]

The  magnitude of their resultant vector is 4.6 meters/seconds

Since we are to add the  velocity vectors in order to  find the magnitude of their resultant vector.

Hence:

Resultant vector magnitude=5.8 meters/seconds + (1.2 meters/seconds)

Resultant vector magnitude=5.8 meters/seconds-1.2 meters/seconds

Resultant vector magnitude 4.6 meters/seconds

Inconclusion The  magnitude of their resultant vector is 4.6 meters/seconds

It took a crew 9 h 36 min to row 8 km upstream and back again. If the rate of flow of the stream was 2 km/h, what was the rowing
babunello [35]

Answer:

3 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call the rowing speed in still water x, in km/h.

Rowing speed in upstream is: x - 2 km/h

Rowing speed in downstream is: x + 2 km/h

It took a crew 9 h 36 min ( = 9 3/5 = 48/5) to row 8 km upstream and back again. Therefore:

8/(x - 2) + 8/(x + 2) = 48/5      (notice that: time = distance/speed)

Multiplying by x² - 2², which is equivalent to (x-2)*(x+2)

8*(x+2) + 8*(x-2) =  (48/5)*(x² - 4)

Dividing  by 8

(x+2) + (x-2) = (6/5)*(x² - 4)

2*x = (6/5)*x² - 24/5

0 =  (6/5)*x² - 2*x - 24/5

Using quadratic formula

x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(6/5)(-24/5)}}{2(6/5)}

x = \frac{2 \pm 5.2}{2.4}

x_1 = \frac{2 + 5.2}{2.4}

x_1 = 3

x_2 = \frac{2 - 5.2}{2.4}

x_2 = -1\; 1/3

A negative result has no sense, therefore the rowing speed in still water was 3 km/h
