What causes waves to slow down: change in wave’s wavelength or change in its frequency and y?

Physics
1 answer:
Mashutka [201]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Although the wave slows down, its frequency remains the same, due to the fact that its wavelength is shorter. When waves travel from one medium to another the frequency never changes.

What force must the deltoid muscle provide to keep the arm in this position?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Deltoid Force, F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}mgsin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}

Additional Information:

Some numerical information are missing from the question. However, I will derive the formula to calculate the force of the deltoid muscle. All you need to do is insert the necessary information and calculate.  

Explanation:

The deltoid muscle is the one keeping the hand arm in position. We have two torques that apply to the rotating of the arm.

1. The torque about the point in the shoulder for the deltoid muscle, T_{Deltoid}

2. The torque of the arm, T_{arm}  

Assuming the arm is just being stretched and there is no rotation going on,

                        T_{Deltoid} = 0

                       T_{arm} = 0

       ⇒           T_{Deltoid} = T_{arm}

                  r_{d}F_{d}sin\alpha_{d} = r_{a}F_{a}sin\alpha_{a}

Where,

r_{d} is radius of the deltoid

F_{d} is the force of the deltiod

\alpha_{d} is the angle of the deltiod

r_{a} is the radius of the arm

F_{a} is the force of the arm , F_{a} = mg  which is the mass of the arm and acceleration due to gravity

\alpha_{a} is the angle of the arm

The force of the deltoid muscle is,

                                 F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}F_{a}sin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}

but F_{a} = mg ,

                ∴            F_{d} = \frac {r_{a}mgsin\alpha_{a}}{r_{d}sin\alpha_{d}}

A boy runs 40m towards east. he then walks 30m towards north. The boy again runs 50m towards north making an angle of 30° with e
Katena32 [7]

Answer: The displacement is 99.82 meters.

Explanation:

To use a standard notation, we can define:

North as the positive y-axis.

East as the positive x-axis.

If the initial position of the boy is (0, 0)

Then:

"runs 40m towars the east"

The new position is (0, 0) + (40m, 0) = (40m, 0)

"he then walks 30m towards North"

The new position is: (40m, 0) + (0, 30m) = (40m, 30m)

"The boy again runs 50m towards north making an angle of 30° with East."

By making a triangle rectangle, we can find the x and y components for this motion.

Y-component = 50m*cos(30°) = 43.3m

X-component = 50m*sin(30°) = 25m

Then the new position will be:

(40m, 30m) + (43.3m, 25m) = (83.3m, 55m)

Now we want to find the total displacement, this will be equal to the distance between the final position and the initial position.

The distance between two points (ax, ay) and (bx, by) is:

D = √( (ax - bx)^2 + (ay - by)^2)

In this case we want to find the distance between the points  (83.3m, 55m) and (0, 0), this will be:

D = √( (83.3m - 0)^2 + (55m - 0)^2) = 99.82 m

The displacement is 99.82 meters.
